This is the IFIP TC2 Community Website

The committee has been established in 1962. It's aims and scope were revised twice: in 1982, and in 1990.

Aims

To obtain a deeper understanding of programming concepts in order to improve the quality of software by studying all aspects of the software development process, both theoretical and practical.

Scope

The scope of the committee encompasses all aspects of the software development process including the specification, design, implementation and validation of software systems. Areas of present activity are:

  • formal models of software concepts
  • programming languages and techniques
  • models for information storage and processing
  • program support environments
  • user interfaces to software systems
  • software quality

News

An IFIP Outstanding Service Award was awarded to Prof. Davide Sangiorgi on September 28, 2012. Prof. Davide Sangiorgi chaired IFIP Working Group 2.2, "Formal Description of Programming Concepts", for two consecutive terms (2006-2011). During his term the Working Group was very active. For instance they organized a well attended Amir Pnueli Memorial Symposium in 2010. The group was also involved in organization of the well-known CONCUR conferences. Prof. Davide Sangiorgi is also a highly recognized scientist in his own right. He is the author of a well-known book on the pi-calculus which has over 1200 citations (Google Scholar).

The next meeting of TC2 will be in Luxembourg on June 24, 2014, just before the EuroSPI conference, at the same venue. The meeting will start at 9am. More information about the venue and possible accomodation is available at the EuroSPI website. The meeting will run from approximately 9am to 6:30pm.

The meeting location is: 

Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor
29, avenue John F. Kennedy
L-1855 Luxembourg - Kirchberg
tel. +352 42 59 91 - 1

Transportation information is: 

Bus line no. 16: AIRPORT - Coudenhove (=CRP Tudor) -  Main Train Station "Gare") – Hesper/Um Schlass.
Bus line no. 1 :  Parc&Ride Bouillon – Main Train Station "Gare" -  Coudenhove (=CRP Tudor) - Luxexpo.

From the city center, you may actually take any bus marked "Eurobus". After 20 minutes or so depending on the traffic, you will see the Tudor Center on the left. At that time, signal to stop the bus, and then walk back a short distance from the bus stop. The bus fare is 2 euros.

The IFIP TC2 Manfred Paul Award for Excellence in Software: Theory and Practice

The Award

Technical Committee 2 of IFIP annually recognizes excellence in its area by means of an award made to an outstanding researcher in software, theory are practice.

  1. The award is known as the IFIP TC2 Manfred Paul Award.
  2. The award consists of a certificate and an amount of money to the value of 1024 euro.
  3. The award is issued annually to a natural person, or group, for a single (possibly joint) paper published in the proceedings of a suitable conference yearly so assigned by IFIP TC2.
  4. The selection is done by the Program Committee Chair(s) of the conference, and the award must be personally and publicly issued to the laureate at the event.
  5. The motto of the prize is "For excellence in Software: Theory and Practice" according to the scope of the TC2 working groups, see www.ifiptc2.org.
  6. Members of TC2 are not eligible, when member is taken as on 1st of January of the award year, but members of Working Groups are eligible.
  7. At the discretion of the committee members, there may be no award or more than one award in each year.

About Manfred Paul

Manfred Paul was chairman of TC2 from 1977 to 1986, and has been the representative for Germany since 1973. He was a founder member of WG2.1 (Algorithmic languages and Calculi) and chairman from 1969 to 1975, and a founder member of WG2.2 (Formal Description of Programming Concepts). He was awarded the IFIP Silver Core in 1974. One of Prof Paul's many accomplishments is that he was the author of the ALGOL compiler "ALCOR MUNICH Z22" for the ZUSE Z22, an early commercially available computer in Europe. This compiler was one of the first handling full recursion in a high level programming language.
