The ASM formalism was proposed together with the thesis that it is suitable to model arbitrary algorithms on arbitrary abstraction levels. ASMs have been used to analyze and specify various hardware- and software-systems as well as computer languages, see http://www.eecs.umich.edu/gasm . The aim of the workshop is to bring together domain-experts using ASMs as practical specification formalisms, and theoreticians using ASMs as formal starting point for their investigations. In addition the workshop is a forum on theoretical and practical topics that relate to ASMs in a broad sense. The technical program will consist of invited lectures, tutorials, presenta- tions of refereed papers, and software demonstrations. A significant part of the time will be devoted to discussions. Invited talks will be given by Andreas Blass (Univ. of Michigan), Egon Börger (Univ. of Pisa), Gerhard Goos (Univ. of Karlsruhe), Martin Odersky (EPFL Lausanne), Wolfgang Reisig (Humbold Univ. Berlin), and Natarajan Shankar (SRI International). Both extended abstracts of work in progress and full papers are welcome. Submissions of either kind must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. We intend to publish the accepted submissions in the LNCS series. The use of the LNCS style files (available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) is strongly recommended. Submissions should be sent by November 20th, 1999 via email (postscript or pdf) to the address asm@tik.ee.ethz.ch The workshop is sponsored by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Microsoft Research, and BlueCapital.

Infrastructure includes 12 SUN-workstations. Uwe Glaesser, Giuseppe del Castillo "Specifying Concurrent Systems with ASMs" The ASM-workbench is introduced and used for experiments with concurrent systems. Harald Ruess, ... , Natarajan Shankar "Verifying ASMs with PVS" The basic features of the PVS proof development system are introduced and demonstrated. Matthias Anlauff, Philipp Kutter, Alfonso Pierantonio "Developing Domain Specific Languages" The Gem-Mex system is used to prototype and visualize small domain specific languages with ASM semantics. Further tool demos and experiments can be done during the workshop. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________
