SECOND 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. The conference is concerned
with theoretical foundations of programming and 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 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 then Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series, will be available at the conference.  Several
post-conference workshops will be held on April 22. Their details will
be announced later.

Invited Speakers:
Samson Abramsky, Imperial College          Matthias Felleisen, Rice University
Paris C. Kanellakis, Brown University      Masako Takahashi, Tokyo Inst. Tech.
Moshe Vardi, IBM Almaden                   Akinori Yonezawa, University of Tokyo

Submission: 

Full papers, in English and not exceeding 8000 words, may be sent
electronically in either postscript or uuencoded dvi format to either
of the program co-chairs (hagiya@is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp or
mitchell@cs.stanford.edu). Paper mail submissions should be directed
to Professor Takayasu Ito at the address below and must contain 7
copies. The first page of each submission should contain an email
address and FAX number of the corresponding author, if available.
Papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere, including proceedings of other symposia or workshops. For
participation in demo sessions, send a short description of the
content of the proposed demo, including the length of the demo and
computer platform required. It is expected that Sun workstations will
be available. A short 1-2 page description of each demo will appear in
the conference proceedings.
