   First Call for Papers
   International workshop on
   FOUNDATIONAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF RESOURCE ANALYSIS
   FOPARA 2009
   Eindhoven, The Netherlands
   November,3 2009
   A satellite event of 16th International Symposium on Formal Methods
   http://www.aha.cs.ru.nl/fopara/


   WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

The workshop serves as a forum for presenting original research results 
that are relevant to the analysis of resource (time, space) consumption 
by computer programs. The workshop aims to bring together the
researchers that work on foundational issues with the researchers that
focus more on practical results. Therefore, both theoretical and
practical contributions are encouraged. The following list of topics is
non-exhaustive:

    * resource analysis for embedded systems,
    * logical and machine-independent characterisations 
      of complexity classes,
    * logics closely related to complexity classes,
    * type systems for controlling complexity,
    * semantic methods to analyse resources, incl. quasi- and sup-
      interpretations,
    * practical applications of resource analysis. 

Up to now a few similar events have taken place. In 2006, 2008
application-oriented resource analysis workshops ( EmBounded Open
Workshop in Budapest, 2006, and Resource Analysis Workshop in
Hertfordshir, 2008) were held as affiliated events of International
Symposium on the Implementation and Application of Functional Languages
(IFL). Participated: University of St. Andrew (UK), Heriot-Watt
University of Edinburgh (UK), Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich
(Germany), University Complutense of Madrid (Spain), Politechnical
University of Madrid (Spain). Another large group of research schools is
presented in series of workshops on Implicit Computational Complexity,
see, for instance, WICC'08 in Paris . The series gather researchers
working in theoretical foundations of resource analysis, mainly from in
France (Universities of Paris Diderot and Paris Nord, LORIA Nancy),
Italy (Universities of Bologna and Turin), Norway, Germany and
Portugal. FOPARA aims to bringing these various directions in resource
analysis together and possibly to extend the community by other groups.

  SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the
pre-workshop refereeing  of full papers (16 pages).

In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we plan to publish the
revised versions of presented at the workshop papers in a volume of
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The request for a volume
is pending.

  LOCATION

The workshop is a satellite event of the 16th International Symposium on
Formal Methods, FM2009. The venue for FM2009 is the Auditorium of the
Technische  Universiteit Eindhoven. Everything related to the symposium
will take place here, including workshops, lunches, and other
activities.


Technische Universiteit Eindhoven was founded in the 1950s on a patch of
uncultivated land near the centre of town. Due to this fortunate
circumstance, the university campus is now right in the middle of the
fifth largest city in the Netherlands. This means that the railway
station, the conference hotels, and other facilities are all within
walking distance of the campus, and that during your stay you will have
easy access to everything Eindhoven  has to offer.
