[Since it is clearly relevant, I am distributing this conference
announcement to types.  General conference announcements should go to
the Theory-A list.  -- Philip Wadler, moderator, Types Forum.]

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

                      International Symposium on

                Theoretical Aspects of Computer Software
                             (TACS '94)
     
                          April 19-21, 1994
                   Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan


The TACS conference will focus on theoretical foundations of software and
applications of theory to practice. More specifically, the conference is
concerned with theoretical foundations of programming and theoretical aspects
of the design, analysis and implementation of programming languages and
systems, including, but not limited to the following topics: Logic, Proof,
Specification and Semantics of Programs and Languages; Theories and Models of
Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Computation; Constructive Logic, Category
Theory, and Type Theory in Computer Science; Theory-Based Systems for
Specifying, Synthesizing, Transforming, Testing, and Verifying Software.

The scientific program will consist of invited lectures, contributed talks,
demo sessions, and post-conference workshops.  There will also be an evening
reception on April 18 and an evening banquet on April 20.  A Proceedings
containing the full papers of the invited and contributed talks published in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag, will be available at the
conference. Several post-conference workshops will be held on April 22. Their
details will be announced later.
