and tools put to use</div>
<div style="margin:0px">in program construction. Topics of interest range from algorithmics to</div>
<div style="margin:0px">support for program construction in programming languages and systems.</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Typical areas include type systems, program analysis and transformation,</div>
<div style="margin:0px">programming language semantics, security, and program logics. The notion</div>
<div style="margin:0px">of a 'program' is interpreted broadly, ranging from algorithms to hardware.</div>
<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Theoretical contributions are welcome, provided that their relevance</div>
<div style="margin:0px">to program construction is clear. Reports on applications are welcome,</div>
<div style="margin:0px">provided that their mathematical basis is evident. We also encourage</div>
<div style="margin:0px">the submission of 'programming pearls' that present elegant and</div>
<div style="margin:0px">instructive examples of the mathematics of program construction.</div>

<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Submission is in two stages. Abstracts (plain text, maximum 250 words)</div>
<div style="margin:0px">must be submitted by 10th April 2022. Full papers (pdf, formatted using</div>

<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Papers must present previously unpublished work, and not be submitted</div>
<div style="margin:0px">concurrently to any other publication venue. Submissions will be</div>
<div style="margin:0px">evaluated by the program committee according to their relevance,</div>
<div style="margin:0px">correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission</div>
<div style="margin:0px">should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms,</div>
<div style="margin:0px">clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is</div>
<div style="margin:0px">significant, and comparing it with previous work. Accepted papers must</div>
<div style="margin:0px">be presented in person at the conference by one of the authors.</div>

<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">The conference will be held at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State</div>
<div style="margin:0px">University (TSU), which is the oldest and largest educational and</div>
<div style="margin:0px">research institution not only in Georgia, but also in the South Caucasus.</div>
<div style="margin:0px">The venue is located in the city center, with many hotels, pubs,</div>
<div style="margin:0px">restaurants, parks, other attractions (zoo, theaters, cinemas, opera,</div>
<div style="margin:0px">etc.) within walking distance.</div>
<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Tbilisi International Airport is 15 km away from the city and offers</div>
<div style="margin:0px">direct connections to more than 30 destinations in Europe, Asia, and the</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Middle East. From the airport, the city can be reached by bus or taxi.</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Another option is to fly to Kutaisi in the west of Georgia, where low</div>
<div style="margin:0px">budget air companies (such as WizzAir) are operating. A shuttle bus from</div>
<div style="margin:0px">the Kutaisi airport to Tbilisi takes about 3 hours.</div>
<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">Georgia allows visa-free entry for nearly 100 countries around the world.</div>
