<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">Submitting an abstract does not put any obligation on the authors to submit a full paper.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">Abstracts without an accompanying full paper by the paper submission deadline are automatically considered withdrawn; the authors are, however, encouraged to explicitly withdraw their abstract, if they decide
not to submit a full paper.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">All submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee who will make a selection among the submissions based on the novelty, soundness and applicability of the presented ideas and results.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">Concurrent submission to other venues (conferences, workshops or journal) and submission of papers under consideration elsewhere are not allowed.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">A printed version of the proceedings will be distributed among participants during the workshop.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">The proceedings of the workshop will be published as a volume in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">Participants will give a presentation of their papers in twenty minutes, followed by a ten-minute round of questions and discussion on participants' work.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">Following the tradition of the past edition, a special issue of an international scientific journal will be devoted to FOCLASA 2010.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">Selected participants will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers after the workshop.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">These extended versions will be reviewed by an international program committee, which will decide on their final publication on the special issue.</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier New, monospace" size="2">In the last few editions of FOCLASA, a special issue of Science of Computer Programming has been dedicated to this workshop and we plan to devote a special issue of the same journal to FOCLASA 2010.</font></div>
