HOOTS99
The Third International Workshop on 
Higher Order Operational Techniques in Semantics

Paris, September 30-October 1, 1999
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~ap/hoots 
A part of the PLI 99 conference
http://pauillac.inria.fr/pli/ 
Affiliated with ESPRIT AppSem WG
http://www.md.chalmers.se/Cs/Research/Semantics/APPSEM 

SCOPE The third workshop on Higher Order Operational Techniques in Semantics
(HOOTS99) will address fundamental principles and important innovations in
the definition, analysis, and application of operational semantics for
higher order languages and calculi.   Techniques addressed in the HOOTS
series include operational equivalences, type systems, and program logics.
Application areas include implementation of programming languages, security,
and mobility. Languages discussed include both high-level and low-level
languages, and a variety of calculi, including calculi of functions,
objects, and processes.
