Preface
The International Conference “Foundations of Software Science and Computa-
tionStructures”(FOSSACS)isaconstituentofthe“JointEuropeanConferences
onTheoryandPracticeofSoftware”(ETAPS).Thepresentvolumecontainsthe
contributions to FOSSACS’99, the second conference in this series, which took
place in Amsterdam.
As formulated in the call for papers, FOSSACS focusses on “papers which offer
progress in foundational research with a clear significance for software science.
A central issue is theories and methods which support the specification, trans-
formation, verification, and analysis of programs and software systems.” The
articles in this volume represent a wide spectrum of approaches to this general
aim. In many papers, one finds the study of new concepts and methods which
aremotivatedbyrecenttrends(orproblems)inthepracticaluseofsoftwareand
information technology.
The volume contains 18 contributed papers, preceded by three invited papers.
The first, by M. Abadi, accompanies his “unifying invited lecture” addressedto
the whole ETAPS audience. The second, by J. Esparza and J. Knoop, contains
an application of the results presented by J. Esparza in his invited lecture to
FOSSACS’99. The third summarizes an invited tutorial by D. Sangiorgi pre-
sented to ETAPS’99.
The selection of the contributed papers was in the hands of a programme com-
mitteeconsistingof R.diCosmo(Paris),E.A.Emerson(Austin,TX),J.Engel-
friet (Leiden), H. Ganzinger (Saarbru¨cken), D. Kozen (Ithaca, NY), B. Jonsson
(Uppsala), A. Jung (Birmingham), M. Nielsen (Aarhus), T. Nipkow (Munich),
D.Niwin´ski(Warsaw),C.Palamidessi(UniversityPark,PA),A.Petit(Cachan),
C. Stirling (Edinburgh), and W. Thomas (Aachen, chair). From 40 submis-
sions, 18 were selected in a procedure which consisted of an e-mail discussion
and a physical meeting in Aachen. Four members were present at this meeting
(H. Ganzinger, B. Jonsson, A. Petit, W. Thomas); the others were contacted
by e-mail in individual cases and provided with intermediate summaries of the
discussion. I would like to thank all members of the programme committee and
all subreferees for their diligent work and efficient cooperation. Special thanks
go to Marianne Kuckertz and Jesper G. Henriksen for their excellent support
regardingsecretarialworkandthe electronicinfrastructureandcommunication.

Foreword
ETAPS’99 is the second instance of the European Joint Conferences on Theory
and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was
established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conferences.
Thisyearitcomprisesfiveconferences(FOSSACS,FASE,ESOP,CC,TACAS),
four satelliteworkshops(CMCS, AS,WAGA, CoFI),seveninvitedlectures,two
invited tutorials, and six contributed tutorials.
The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system de-
velopmentprocess,including specification,design,implementation,analysisand
improvement. The languages, methodologies and tools which support these ac-
tivities are all well within its scope. Different blends of theory and practice are
represented, with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation on
one hand and soundly-based practice on the other. Many of the issues involved
in softwaredesignapply to systemsin general,including hardwaresystems,and
the emphasis on software is not intended to be exclusive.
ETAPSis a loose confederationin which each event retains its own identity,
with a separateprogrammecommittee andindependent proceedings.Its format
is open-ended,allowingitto growandevolveastime goesby.Contributedtalks
and system demonstrations are in synchronized parallel sessions, with invited
lectures in plenary sessions. Two of the invited lectures are reserved for “unify-
ing” talks on topics of interest to the whole range of ETAPS attendees. As an
experiment, ETAPS’99 also includes two invited tutorials on topics of special
interest. The aim of cramming all this activity into a single one-week meeting
is to create a strong magnet for academic and industrial researchersworkingon
topics within its scope, giving them the opportunity to learn about research in
relatedareas,andtherebytofosternewandexistinglinksbetweenworkinareas
that have hitherto been addressed in separate meetings.
