Congratulationsthereforetoallthe authorswhomadeittothe ?nalprogramme! I hope that most of the other authors will still have found a way of participating in this exciting event and that you will all continue submitting to ETAPS and contributing to make of it the best conference in the area. The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system - velopment process including speci?cation design implementation analysis and improvement.The languages methodologies and tools which support these - tivities are all well within its scope. Di?erent blends of theory and practice are represented with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation on the one hand and soundly based practice on the other. Many of the issues involved in software design apply to systems in general including hardware s- tems and the emphasis on software is not intended to be exclusive.show more
