Fwd: PSI'01 Final Call for Papers

From: Sibylle Schupp (schupp_at_[hidden])

There aren't many conferences yet that explicitly ask for contributions in
the area
of generic programming. I'm attaching the final Call for Papers for the 4th
International Conference "Perspectives of System Informatics", which does
have a separate section on "object-oriented, component-based and generic
programming", and would like to encourage interested members of this list
to consider a submission.

                        FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
            Andrei Ershov Fourth International Conference
                  PERSPECTIVES OF SYSTEM INFORMATICS

        3 - 6 July 2001, Novosibirsk, Akademgorodok, Russia

AIMS AND SCOPE

The conference is held to honor the 70th anniversary of the late
Academician Andrei Ershov (1931-1988) and his outstanding contributions
towards advancing informatics. The first three conferences were held in
May 1991, June 1996, and July 1999 and proved to be significant
international
events.

Andrei Ershov was one of the early Russian pioneers in the field of
theoretical and systems programming, a founder of the Siberian School
of Computer Science. In 1974 he was nominated as a Distinguished
Fellow of the British Computer Society. In 1981 he received the
Silver Core Award for services rendered to IFIP. Andrei Ershov's
brilliant speeches were always in the focus of public attention.
Especially notable was his lecture on "Aesthetic and human factor in
programming" presented at the AFIPS Spring Joint Computer Conference
in 1972. Andrei Ershov was not only an extremely gifted scientist,
teacher and fighter for his ideas, but also a bright and many-sided
personality. He wrote poetry, translated the works of R.Kipling and
other English poets, and enjoyed playing guitar and singing.
Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Andrei Ershov and working
with him will always remember his great vision, eminent
achievements, and generous friendship.

The aim of the Conference is to provide a forum for the presentation
and in-depth discussion of advanced research directions in Computer
Science. For a developing science, it is important to work out
consolidating ideas, concepts and models. Movement in this direction
is one of the goals the Conference is to meet. Improvement of the
contacts and exchange of ideas between researchers from the East and
West are further goals.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Conference topics include:

               Semantics-Based Program Processing
- program specification, transformation, and verification,
- semantics, logic and formal models of programs,
- partial evaluation, mixed computation, and abstract interpretation,
- program analysis and synthesis,
- model checking.

              Program Methodology and Automated Software Engineering
- object-oriented, component-based and generic programming,
- program and system construction for parallel and distributed computing,
- constraint programming,
- multi-agent technology,
- system re-engineering and reuse,
- integrated programming environments,
- software architectures,
- software development and testing,
- program understanding and visualization.

                 Information Technologies
- database and information systems,
- knowledge-based systems and knowledge engineering,
- Internet technologies, Web publishing and electronic commerce,
- digital libraries.

In addition to papers in the above list of topics, papers both
bridging the gap between different directions and promoting mutual
understanding of researchers in different directions are welcome.
Papers defining the prospects of Computer Science in the whole and
joint West-East papers are also encouraged.

LOCATION

The conference will be held in Akademgorodok (Academy town), 30 km
South from Novosibirsk, the largest city of Siberia. Akademgorodok is
located in a picturesque place near the Ob lake. It is surrounded
with birch and pine forests and pleasant not only for work but for
recreation as well. Silence, beautiful landscape, and pure air are
the factors promoting scientific activity and creativity.
