                        AADEBUG'2003
  Fifth Int. Workshop on Automated and Algorithmic Debugging
             Ghent, Belgium, September 8-10, 2003



     Call for papers and demos

Over the past decades automated debugging has seen major achieve-
ments. However, as debugging is by necessity attached to particu-
lar programming paradigms, the results are scattered. The aims of
the workshop are to gather common  themes  and  solutions  across
programming  communities,  and  to cross-fertilize ideas. We seek
papers describing original research as well as reports on practi-
cal  experience.  We also welcome demonstrations of tools and re-
search prototypes.

Typical topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to):
     automated debugging       declarative debugging      
     type debugging            knowledge-based debugging
     algorithmic debugging     assertion-based debugging
     trace analysis            software testing
     program slicing           monitoring 
     performance debugging     parallel and distributed debugging
     debugging by simulation   debugging using record/replay
for any kind of programming paradigms (sequential, parallel, dis-
tributed,  real-time,  logic programming, functional, object-ori-
ented, imperative, visual languages).

 Accepted papers and demo descriptions will be  included  in  the
workshop  proceedings,  distributed  locally on paper and CD, and
will also be published on the CoRR (Computing Research  Reposito-
ry) website. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit
journal versions of their papers to a special issue of the  Jour-
nal of Automated Software Engineering on automated debugging.

 Demonstration  of  tools  and research prototypes that implement
new ideas in debugging automation will be part of the AADEBUG2003
technical  program. Demos will be given in sessions together with
technical paper presentations. Both demos and regular papers will
receive a 30' time slot.

     Submission of Papers

 Contributors  should be aware that the prospective audience will
not  necessarily  be  familiar  with  the  addressed  programming
paradigms, which should, therefore, be briefly introduced. Papers
should be no longer than 5000 words in length, including a 150 to
200  word  abstract.  Submit  papers by uploading a PDF  file  to 
http://aadebug2003.elis.rug.ac.be/.  Concurrently send an  e-mail 
to  ···········@elis.rug.ac.be with the title of the paper, names 
of  the  authors, full address of the  correspondent and a 150 to 
200 word abstract of the paper.

     Submission of Demos

 Demo descriptions should be no longer than 2000 words  including
a  150 to 200 word abstract. Submit demos by uploading a PDF file
to http://aadebug2003.elis.rug.ac.be/ Concurrently send an e-mail 
to ···········@elis.rug.ac.be  containing the title of  the demo, 
names of the authors, full address of the correspondent and a 150 
to 200 word abstract of the paper.  Clearly mention the fact that  
you submit a demo and not a regular paper in your email.

 Authors having problems to submit using the web server can  send
the paper to ···········@elis.rug.ac.be.

     About Ghent

Ghent is one of the oldest cities in Flanders, the Dutch speaking
northern part of Belgium. Through the Middle Ages, it  was  among
the  most  important  economic  centres of Western Europe and the
historic city centre still reminds us of this period through  its
beautiful   medieval   towers.   There are several trains an hour
that connect Ghent to the closest international  airport   (Brus-
sels,  60km).   Other  closeby airports are Schiphol (The Nether-
lands, 200km) and  Lille  (France,  90km),   both   having   easy
train  connections  to Ghent.
