SUBMISSION INFORMATION

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the proceedings and have presentations during the conference. A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation. Submitted papers must be in English presenting original research. All submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden.

Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF (preferably) or PS (using Type 1 fonts). The proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Final papers will be in the format specified by Springer-Verlag at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

It is recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately.

To submit a paper or abstract use the conference service at http://sttt.cs.uni-dortmund.de/esop06/servlet/Conference/

Research papers: Final papers will be not more than 15 pages long, and should present original research. Additional material intended for the referee but not for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.

Tool demonstration papers: Submissions should consist of two parts: The first part, at most four pages, should describe the tool presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and provide information which illustrates the maturity and robustness of the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.) The second part, at most six pages, should explain how the demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the proceedings, but will be evaluated.)
