-- 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. It is an annual event held in Europe 
each spring since 1998. Its twenty-third edition, ETAPS 2020, will take place 
in Dublin, Ireland.

ETAPS 2020 main conferences, scheduled for April 27th- May 1st, 2020, are:
* ESOP: European Symposium on Programming
* FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering
* FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures
* TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems


-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

The ETAPS 2020 organising committee invites proposals for satellite events 
(workshops) that will complement the main 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 2020 satellite events will be held immediately before the main 
conferences, on April 25-26, 2020.


-- ARRANGEMENTS FOR SATELLITE EVENTS --

The organisers of an ETAPS 2020 satellite are expected to:
- create and maintain a website for the event, as a part of the main ETAPS 
web page http://www.etaps.org/2019/workshops
- form a PC, produce a call for papers for the event (if appropriate),
- advertise the event through specialist mailing lists etc. to complement the 
publicity of ETAPS,
- review the submissions received and make acceptance decisions,
- prepare an informal (pre)proceedings for the event (if appropriate),
- prepare the event's program complying with any scheduling constraints 
defined by the ETAPS 2020 organising committee,
- prepare and organise the publication of a formal (post)proceedings (if 
desired).

The ETAPS 2020 organising committee will:
- promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of ETAPS 
2020,
- integrate the event's program into the overall program of the conference,
- arrange registration for the event as a component of registration for ETAPS,
- collect a participation fee from the registrants,
- produce a compilation USB memory stick of the informal (pre)proceedings of 
the satellite events of ETAPS 2020 and distribute this to the registrants,
- provide the event with a meeting room of an appropriate size, A/V 
equipment, coffee breaks and possibly lunch(es).
- As a rule, ETAPS will not contribute toward the travel or accommodation 
costs of invited speakers or organisers of satellite events.


-- SUBMISSION OF SATELLITE EVENT PROPOSALS --

Researchers and practitioners wishing to organise satellite events are 
invited to submit proposals via the following online form:
   http://eptcs.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/ETAPS/

The following information is requested:
- the name and acronym of the satellite event
- the names and contact information of the organisers
- the duration of the event: one or two days
- the preferred period within April 25-26
- the expected number of participants
- a brief description (120 words approximately) of the event topic for the 
website and publicity material of ETAPS 2020
- a brief explanation of the event topic and its relevance to ETAPS
- an explanation of the selection procedure of contributions to the event, 
the PC chair and members, 
- if applicable, information about past editions of the event, if applicable
- any other relevant information, like a special event format, invited 
speakers, demo sessions, special space requirements, etc.
- a tentative schedule for paper submission, notification of acceptance and 
final versions for the (informal pre-)proceedings 
(the ETAPS 2020 organising committee will need the final files end of March 
2020)
- the plans for formal publication (no formal publication, formal proceedings 
ready by the event, formal post-proceedings, publication venue - EPTCS, EASST 
or elsewhere)

The proposals will be evaluated by the ETAPS 2020 organising committee on the 
basis of their assessed benefit for prospective participants of ETAPS 2020.

satellite events as examples:

-- HOST CITY —

Dublin (Irish: Baile Átha Cliath) is the capital and largest city of the 
Republic of Ireland. It is situated on the East coast of Ireland, at the 
mouth of the River Liffey, at the centre of the Greater Dublin area with 1,9 
Mio inhabitants. Dublin is a historical and contemporary centre for 
education, the arts, administration and industry. As of 2018 the city was 
listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a 
global city, with a ranking of "Alpha −", which places it amongst the top 
thirty cities in the world. Dublin was established by the Gaels in or before 
the 7th century AD, expanded as a Viking settlement and it became Ireland's 
principal settlement following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly 
and was the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of 
Union in 1800. The city was at the forefront of Ireland's economic expansion 
during the Celtic Tiger period and since 2017 has again close to full 
employment. Culture and tourism revolve around the 'Medieval Quarter' (Dublin 
Castle, Christ Church and St Patrick's Cathedral and the old city walls), the 
'Georgian Quarter' (St Stephen's Green, Trinity College, and Merrion Square), 
the 'Docklands Quarter' ( Dublin Docklands and Silicon Docks), the 'Cultural 
Quarter' (around Temple Bar), and 'Creative Quarter' (between South William 
Street and George's Street). Companies such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, 
eBay, PayPal, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, Accenture and Pfizer now have 
European headquarters and/or operational bases in the city, with several 
located in enterprise clusters like the Digital Hub and Silicon Docks. The 
presence of these companies has driven economic expansion in the city and led 
to Dublin sometimes being referred to as the "Tech Capital of Europe”.

ETAPS 2020 is organised by the University of Limerick in cooperation with 
Lero, the Irish Software Research Centre spanning 9 Universities and ITs in 
the Republic of Ireland.
