The HOPA workshop aims to bring together the various growing communities

of new theoretical results.  Important Dates

bridges between communities. Areas include but are by no means limited to the

    Higher-order and collapsible pushdown systems, 
    Higher-order recursion schemes,

Publication

There will be no formal proceedings of the workshop. Work presented may be
submitted elsewhere for formal publication, or, indeed, may have already been
formally published. Abstracts will be made available online via this website
and on the FLoC USB stick. We encourage participants with analysis tools to
make these tools available on our website. This can be done either by providing
us with source tarballs or zip files, or by providing us with links to the tool
homepage as part of the submission.  

Submissions may range from 1 page abstracts through to 15 page tutorials or
surveys in the llncs format. Please indicate on your submission how long you
would like to talk for. This may range from 10 minutes for cool new ideas, or
45-60 minutes for full tutorials or surveys. Submission will be via easychair.
