-- 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 eighth meeting, ETAPS 2005, will take place 2-10 April 
2005 in Edinburgh, Scotland, hosted by the University of
Edinburgh.

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 will take place 4-8 April 2005.

-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

The ETAPS 2005 Organizing Committee invites proposals for 
Satellite Events 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 2005 Satellite Events will be held immediately before and 
after the main conferences, on 2-3 and 9-10 April 2005. 

-- SUBMISSION OF SATELLITE EVENT PROPOSALS --

Researchers and practitioners wishing to organise Satellite 
Events are invited to submit proposals in ASCII, PDF or 
Postscript format by e-mail to the Satellite Events Chair, 
Massimo Felici, massimo.felici at ed.ac.uk

A proposal should not exceed two pages and should include: 

- Satellite Event name / acronym
- the names and contact information of the organizers
- the preferred period: 2-3 or 9-10 April
- the duration of the workshop: one-day or two-day event
- 120-word description of the workshop topic for later use in
publicity material
- a brief explanation of the workshop topic and its relevance to 
ETAPS
- a schedule for paper submission, notification of acceptance, 
and final versions (which should be no later than 18 February 
2005)
- expected number of participants 
- any other relevant information, e.g., event format, invited 
speakers, publication policy, demo sessions, special space 
requirements, etc.

The proposals will be evaluated by the ETAPS 2005 organizing 
committee on the basis of their assessed benefit for prospective 
participants to ETAPS 2005. The titles and brief information 
about accepted Satellite Events will be included in the ETAPS 
2005 web site, call for papers and call for participation. 

Satellite Events organizers will be responsible for
- producing the event's call for papers and call for 
participations
- publicising the event through specialist mailing lists etc. 
to complement publicity for ETAPS as a whole
- hosting and maintaining a web site for the event
- reviewing and making acceptance decisions on submitted papers
- producing the event proceedings, if any; facilities for 
printing will be made available by the ETAPS organizers
- scheduling workshop activities in consultation with the local 
organizers

Prospective organizers may wish to consult the satellite events,
