PADL 2023: Final Call for Papers (with updated deadlines!)
by Michael Hanus 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

============================================================================== Call for Papers 25th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2023) https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/PADL-2023 Boston, Massachusetts, United States, January 16-17, 2023 Co-located with ACM POPL 2023 ============================================================================== FINAL DEADLINES: ---------------- Abstract submission: October 12, 2022 (AoE) Paper submission: October 19, 2022 (AoE) Conference Description ---------------------- Declarative languages comprise several well-established classes of formalisms, namely, functional, logic, and constraint programming. Such formalisms enjoy both sound theoretical bases and the availability of attractive frameworks for application development. Indeed, they have been already successfully applied to many different real-world situations, ranging from database management to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems. New developments in theory and implementation fostered applications in new areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages to novel and challenging problems raise many interesting research issues, including designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well. PADL is a well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative programming, including functional and logic programming, database and constraint programming, and theorem proving. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Innovative applications of declarative languages - Declarative domain-specific languages and applications - Practical applications of theoretical results - New language developments and their impact on applications - Declarative languages and software engineering - Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications - Practical experiences and industrial applications - Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom - Practical extensions such as constraint-based, probabilistic, and reactive languages PADL 2023 especially welcomes new ideas and approaches related to applications, design and implementation of declarative languages going beyond the scope of the past PADL symposia, for example, advanced database languages and contract languages, as well as verification and theorem proving methods that rely on declarative languages. Submissions ----------- PADL 2023 welcomes three kinds of submission: * Technical papers (max. 15 pages): Technical papers must describe original, previously unpublished research results. * Application papers (max. 8 pages): Application papers are a mechanism to present important practical applications of declarative languages that occur in industry or in areas of research other than Computer Science. Application papers are expected to describe complex and/or real-world applications that rely on an innovative use of declarative languages. Application descriptions, engineering solutions and real-world experiences (both positive and negative) are solicited. * Extended abstracts (max. 3 pages): Describing new ideas, a new perspective on already published work, or work-in-progress that is not yet ready for a full publication. Extended abstracts will be posted on the symposium website but will not be published in the formal proceedings. All page limits exclude references. Submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style, see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their reports. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use: \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{lineno} \linenumbers The conference proceedings of PADL 2023 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted but the authors should notify the program chairs where it has previously appeared. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=padl2023 Important Dates (UPDATED!) -------------------------- Abstract submission: October 12, 2022 (AoE) Paper submission: October 19, 2022 (AoE) Notification: November 15, 2022 Camera-ready papers: December 1, 2022 Symposium: January 16-17, 2023 Distinguished Papers -------------------- The authors of a small number of distinguished papers will be invited to submit a longer version for journal publication after the symposium. For papers related to logic programming, that will be in the journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-progra…, and for papers related to functional programming, in Journal of Functional Programming (JFP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-functional-programming. The extended journal submissions should be substantially (roughly 30%) extended: explanations for which there was no space, illuminating examples and proofs, additional definitions and theorems, further experimental results, implementational details and feedback from practical/engineering use, extended discussion of related work, and so on. These submissions will then be subject to the usual peer review process by the journal, although with the aim of a swifter review process by reusing original reviews from PADL.

Submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style, see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their reports. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use: \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{lineno} \linenumbers The conference proceedings of PADL 2023 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted but the authors should notify the program chairs where it has previously appeared. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=padl2023 Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission: October 2, 2022 (AoE) Paper submission: October 9, 2022 (AoE) Notification: November 5, 2022 Symposium: January 16-17, 2023 Distinguished Papers -------------------- The authors of a small number of distinguished papers will be invited to submit a longer version for journal publication after the symposium. For papers related to logic programming, that will be in the journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-progra…, and for papers related to functional programming, in Journal of Functional Programming (JFP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-functional-programming. The extended journal submissions should be substantially (roughly 30%) extended: explanations for which there was no space, illuminating examples and proofs, additional definitions and theorems, further experimental results, implementational details and feedback from practical/engineering use, extended discussion of related work, and so on. These submissions will then be subject to the usual peer review process by the journal, although with the aim of a swifter review process by reusing original reviews from PADL.

10 May '22

Apologies for multiple postings ====================================================================== LOPSTR 2022: Final Call for Papers -- DEADLINE EXTENSION ====================================================================== 32nd International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation LOPSTR 2022 http://lopstr2022.webs.upv.es/ Tbilisi, Georgia and Virtual -- 21-23 September 2022 (co-located with PPDP 2022 as part of CLAS 2022) Latest News: * Two-week deadline extension! (see important dates below) * The PC can also invite up to two papers for rapid publication in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP). * The conference will be held as a hybrid (blended) meeting, both in-person and virtual. * The LOPSTR 2022 proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series at conference time after a single round of reviewing. OVERVIEW ====================================================================== The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively, friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress. The 32nd International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2022) will be held as a hybrid (blended) meeting, both in-person (at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University -TSU- in Tbilisi, Georgia) and virtual. Previous symposia were held in Tallin (hybrid event), Bologna (as a virtual meeting), Porto, Frankfurt am Main, Namur, Edinburgh, Siena, Canterbury, Madrid, Leuven, Odense, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia, Lyngby, Venice, London, Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London, Venice, Manchester, Leuven, Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa, Louvain-la-Neuve and Manchester. You might have a look at the contents of past LOPSTR symposia at DBLP (http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/lopstr/index.html), and at the Springer LNCS repository for past Post-proceedings (https://link.springer.com/conference/lopstr). LOPSTR 2022 will be co-located with PPDP 2022 as part of the Computational Logic Autumn Summit 2022. Information about venue and travel is available on the CLAS 2022 website (http://www.viam.science.tsu.ge/clas2022/). The LOPSTR 2022 proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series at conference time after a single round of reviewing. Submissions can be made in two categories: Full Papers and Extended Abstracts. All submissions must be written in English. Submissions of Full Papers must describe original work, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. The PC can also invite up to two papers for rapid publication in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP). Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). Submissions of Extended Abstracts may describe work-in-progress research to be presented during the conference. These contributions will be published in informal proceedings, if enough papers are accepted. After the symposium, a selection of the best papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the Fundamenta Informaticae journal (https://fi.episciences.org/). Authors of selected original papers will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions to be considered for publication in the special issue. The papers submitted to the special issue will be subject to the standard reviewing process of the journal. Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large, including, but not limited to: * synthesis; transformation; specialization; composition; optimisation * specification; analysis; verification; testing; certification * program and model manipulation; inversion * artificial intelligence methods for program development; verification and testing of AI-based systems * transformational techniques in SE * applications and tools Both full papers and extended abstracts describing foundations and applications in these areas are welcome. Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective and papers that describe experience with industrial applications are also welcome. Important Dates ====================================================================== * Abstract submission: May 16, 2022 (extended) * Paper submission: May 23, 2022 (extended) * Notification to authors: June 24, 2022 (extended) * Final version: July 11, 2022 * Conference: September 21-23, 2022 Submission Guidelines ====================================================================== Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in English) in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; authors and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract; and three to four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Authors should consult Springer's authors' instructions at the author's page (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…), and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX (available also in Overleaf) or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, upon acceptance, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made. Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use: \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{lineno} \linenumbers Full papers cannot exceed 15 pages excluding references. Extended abstracts cannot exceed 8 pages excluding references. Additional pages may be used for appendices not intended for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them. Papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr2022 Accepted Full Papers will be published in the formal LNCS proceedings. Accepted Extended Abstracts will be included in the informal proceedings if enough papers are accepted. The program committee may recommend some full papers to be accepted only for presentation at the symposium and to be included in the informal proceedings. Best paper awards ====================================================================== Thanks to Springer's sponsorship, a best paper award, which will include a 1000 EUR prize, will be given at LOPSTR 2022. The program committee will select the winning paper based on relevance, originality and technical quality but may also take authorship into account (e.g. a student paper).
