Over the past decades automated debugging has seen major achievements. However, as debugging is by necessity attached to particular 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. Original research as well as practical experience reports are welcome.
Typical topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to):
for any kind of programming paradigms (sequential, parallel, distributed, real-time, logic programming, functional, object-oriented, imperative, visual languages.)
Demonstration of tools and research prototypes that implement new ideas in debugging automation will be part of the AADEBUG'2000 technical program. Demos will be given in sessions together with technical paper presentations. Presenters will be responsible for providing and operating all necessary computing equipment and connecting it to the data projection equipment provided.
Accepted papers and demo descriptions will be included in the workshop proceedings, probably published on the web. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit journal versions of their papers to a special issue of the Journal of Automated Software Engineering on automated debugging.
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 sending a Ghostview-readable Postscript file containing the article to the program chair: ducasse@irisa.fr. Concurrently send an e-mail to ducasse@irisa.fr containing the title of the paper, names of the authors, full address of the correspondent and a 150 to 200 word abstract of the paper. Authors having problems to submit by email should contact the program chair.
Demo descriptions should be non longer than 2000 words including a 150 to 200 word abstract.
