      CAAP: Colloquium on Trees in Algebra and Programming

This colloquium series was originally devoted to the algebraic and
combinatorial properties of trees and their roles in various fields of
Computer Science.  Its scope has extended to several other structures,
such as words or graphs, which play similar roles and deserve
similar theoretical studies.  In keeping with these traditions, CAAP'96
will cover algebraic, logical and combinatorial properties of discrete
structures and their application to Computer Science.
 
This includes the following non-exhaustive list of topics:  basic
objects in computation processes, especially words, trees, graphs and
their languages; techniques for manipulating these objects, such as
automata, grammars, regular expressions, rewriting, unification,
matching and constraint solving; applications of these structures to
syntax and semantics of programming languages, transition systems and
models of concurrency, logic and formal verification; and theoretical
problems arising in software development.

       CC: International Conference on Compiler Construction
 
The International Conference on Compiler Construction provides a forum
for presentation and discussion of recent developments in the area of
compiler construction, language implementation and language design. Its
scope ranges from compilation methods and tools to implementation
techniques for specific requirements of languages and target
architectures. It also includes language design and programming
environment issues which are related to language translation. There is
an emphasis on practical and efficient techniques.

Traditionally, this includes the following non-exhaustive list of
topics:  tools for any phase of compilation, methods and techniques for
code generation and optimization, compilation  for parallel
architectures, compilation of computer languages (imperative,
functional, logic, object-oriented, parallel, etc.), translation of
application and specification languages, and other tools closely related
to compiler construction (debuggers, data flow analyzers, etc.).
 
       ESOP: European Symposium on Programming

This conference is devoted to fundamental issues in the specification,
analysis and implementation of programming languages and systems. It
particularly welcomes research which bridges the gap between theory and
practice: for example, practical studies based on theoretical
developments and theoretical developments with a clearly identified
potential for practical application.  The emphasis is on the soundness
and correctness of the approach.

Traditionally, this includes the following non-exhaustive list of
topics:  software specification and verification (including algebraic
techniques and model checking), programming paradigms and their
integration (including functional, logic, concurrent and
object-oriented), semantics facilitating the formal development and
implementation of programming languages and systems, advanced type
systems (including polymorphism and subtyping), program analysis
(including abstract interpretation and constraint systems), program
transformation (including partial evaluation and term rewriting), and
implementation techniques (including compilation).

Notification to authors : 10 November 1995
Final papers due:         20 January 1996

Papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.
Each submission should include a short abstract, a list of keywords,
and should clearly indicate an address for correspondence, with e-mail
address if available. Authors who have no access to photocopying
facilities may submit a single copy. Electronically submitted papers
will not be considered. Papers that attempt to establish links between
different approaches will be particularly welcome. Papers will be carefully
refereed and will be judged on the basis of relevance, originality,
significance, correctness, and clarity.

Papers arriving late may be rejected immediately, without refereeing.
The receipt of all submitted papers will be acknowledged. 

The proceedings are expected to be published by Springer-Verlag
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
