- TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems
The ETAPS 2025 satellite events will be held on Saturday and Sunday, May 03–04, 2025.
Call for Satellite Events
The ETAPS 2025 organizing committee invites proposals for satellite events (e.g., workshops) to complement the main
conferences. They should fall within the scope of ETAPS.
Satellite events provide an opportunity to discuss and report on emerging research approaches and practical experience
relevant to the theory and practice of software.
Important Dates
- Deadline for proposals of satellite events: July 18, 2024
- Notification of acceptance: Aug 1, 2024
Arrangements for Satellite Events
The organizers of an ETAPS 2025 satellite event are expected to:
- create and maintain a website for the event
- form a PC and produce a call for papers for the event (if appropriate)
- advertise the event through mailing lists etc. to complement the publicity of ETAPS
- review submissions and make acceptance decisions
- prepare informal (pre-)proceedings for the event, if appropriate
- prepare the event’s program according to the overall schedule of ETAPS 2025
- prepare and organize the publication of formal (post-)proceedings, if desired
The ETAPS 2025 organizing committee will:
- promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of ETAPS 2025
- arrange registration for the event as a component of registration for ETAPS
- collect a participation fee from the registrants
- provide a meeting room of 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 organizers of
satellite events.
