CALL FOR PAPERS
Interest in the fundamental problem of the combination of formal notations
and theories of programming has grown consistently in recent years. The
theories define, in various different ways, many common notions, such as
abstraction, refinement, choice, termination, feasibility, locality,
concurrency and communication. Despite these differences, such theories
may be unified in a way which greatly facilitates their study and
comparison. Moreover, such a unification offers a means of combining
different languages describing various facets and artifacts of software
development in a seamless, logically consistent way.
Hoare and He's Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) is widely
acknowledged as one of the most significant such unification approaches.
Based on their pioneering work, the aims of the UTP Symposium series are to
reaffirm the significance of the ongoing UTP project and to stimulate
efforts to advance. The Symposium provides a focus for the sharing of
results by those already actively contributing, and raises awareness of the
benefits of such unifying theoretical frameworks among the wider computer
science and software engineering communities.
To this end the Symposium welcomes contributions on all the themes that can
be related to the Unifying Theories of Programming.
SUBMISSIONS
Papers may be up to 20 pages in length and should be prepared using LaTeX
