ETAPS 2010

European Joint Conferences on Theory And Practice of Software

March 20-28, 2010
Coral Beach Resort, Paphos, Cyprus


-- ABOUT ETAPS --

The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial
researchers working on topics relating to Software Science. ETAPS is an
annual event which takes place in Europe each spring since 1998. The
thirteenth conference, ETAPS 2010, takes place between March 20-28
2010 in Paphos, Cyprus, organized by the University of Cyprus.

The main conferences of ETAPS are:

- FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures
- FASE:        Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering
- ESOP:        European Symposium on Programming
- CC:            International Conference on Compiler Construction
- TACAS:     Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems

These conferences take place March 22-26, 2010.


-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

The ETAPS 2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals for Satellite
Events (workshops, tutorials, etc.) that will complement the main ETAPS
conferences. They should fall within the scope of ETAPS. This
encompasses all aspects of the system development process, including
specification, design, implementation, analysis and improvement, as well
as the languages, methodologies and tools which support these
activities, covering a spectrum from practically-motivated theory to
soundly-based practice. Satellite Events provide an opportunity to
discuss and report on emerging research approaches and practical
experience relevant to theory and practice of software.

ETAPS 2010 Satellite Events will be held immediately before and after
the main conferences, on March 20-21 and March 27-28, 2010.

-- THE HOST CITY --

ETAPS 2010 will be held in Cyprus. Cyprus is the third biggest
island in the Mediterranean and one of the newest members of the
European Union. It is an island state and its main source of income
is tourism and services.
Paphos has an air of holiday charm combined with history, and
olden-day elegance is lent to the town by its classical style buildings
in the upper part of town which leads to the shopping area. The
lower part of the town - known as Kato Paphos - has a life of its own,
down near the sea, home of the harbour, the fish tavernas, souvenir
shops and several beautiful hotels with important archaeological sites
all around them.
