Abstract:
and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference established in
1998, and consists of four conferences: ESOP, FASE, FoSSaCS, and TACAS. Each
conference has its own Program Committee (PC) and its own Steering Committee
(SC). The conferences cover various aspects of software systems, ranging from theoretical computer science to foundations of programming languages, analysis tools, and formal approaches to software engineering. Organising these conferences in a coherent, highly synchronised conference programme enables researchers to participate in an exciting event, having the possibility to meet many colleagues working in different
directions in the field, and to easily attend talks of different conferences. On the
weekend before the main conference, numerous satellite workshops take place that
attract many researchers from all over the globe. ETAPS 2021 received 260 submissions in total, 115 of which were accepted, yielding an overall acceptance rate of 44.2%. I thank all the authors for their interest in ETAPS, all the reviewers for their reviewing efforts, the PC members for their contributions, and in particular the PC (co-)chairs for their hard work in running this entire intensive process. Last but not least, my congratulations to all authors of the accepted papers!
