Background

The NWPT series of annual workshops is a forum bringing together
programming theorists from the Nordic and Baltic countries (but also
elsewhere). The previous workshops were held in Uppsala (1989 and
1999), Aalborg (1990), Göteborg (1991 and 1995), Bergen (1992 and
2000), Åbo (1993 and 1998), Aarhus (1994), Oslo (1996), Tallinn
(1997), Lyngby (2001). In 2002, the workshop will again be held in
Tallinn.


Scope

Topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to)

      semantics of programming languages,
      programming language design and programming methodology,
      programming logics,
      formal specification of programs,
      program verification,
      program construction,
      program transformation and refinement,
      real-time and hybrid systems,
      models of concurrent, distributed and mobile computing,
      tools for program verification and construction.


Submission

Authors wishing to give a talk at the workshop are requested to submit
an abstract of 1-3 pages (LaTeX or plain text, or ps or pdf, printable
on A4 paper) to nwpt02@cc.ioc.ee by 30 September 2002. Submission of
work submitted for formal publication elsewhere and work in progress
is permitted.

The abstracts of the accepted contributions will be available at the
workshop. After the workshop, a few, selected papers will be published
in a special issue of an international journal (under negotiation).
