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. Formal proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers. The 26th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2016) will be held at the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; previous symposia were held in 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. LOPSTR 2016 will be co-located with PPDP 2016 (International Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming) and SAS 2016 (Static Analysis Symposium). 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. Both full papers and extended abstracts describing applications in these areas are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of logic-based program development, including, but not limited to: * synthesis * transformation * specialization * composition * optimization * inversion * specification * analysis and verification * testing and certification * program and model manipulation * transformational techniques in SE * applications and tools Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective, and application papers that describe experience with industrial applications are also welcome. Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, 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. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). Important Dates Abstract submission: June 7, 2016 Paper/Extended abstract submission: June 14, 2016 Notification: August 3, 2016 Camera-ready (for electronic pre-proceedings): August 19, 2016 Symposium: September 6-8, 2016 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. Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. Submissions cannot exceed 15 pages including references but excluding well-marked 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 the Easychair submission website for LOPSTR 2016: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr2016 (can be accessed also through the LOPSTR 2016 web site). Best Paper Award and Prize A best paper award will be granted, which will include a 500 EUR prize provided by Springer. This award will be given to the best paper submitted to the conference, based on the relevance, originality, and technical quality. The program committee may split the award among two or more papers, also considering authorship (e.g., student paper). Proceedings The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full papers can be directly accepted for publication in the formal proceedings, or accepted only for presentation at the symposium and inclusion in informal proceedings. After the symposium, all authors of extended abstracts and full papers accepted only for presentation will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the symposium. Then, after another round of reviewing, these revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings.

On behalf of the Haskell Platform team, I'm happy to announce the release of Haskell Platform 8.0.1 Now available at https://www.haskell.org/platform/ This platform includes features initially planned in the "Improving the 'Get Haskell Experience'" proposal of June 2015. [1] * Minimal as well as Full distributions. The minimal distribution only includes GHC core libraries as well as additional tools. This is now the recommended distribution. The Full distribution remains an option for those who want a one-step installer with the broader set of platform libraries preinstalled. * Inclusion of the Stack tool for developing Haskell projects [2] Other highlights of this release include the following * The new cabal 1.24 including the great "new-build" tech preview of nix-like build dependency management [3] * On windows, a cabal/msys setup that allows packages such as "network" to build "out of the box". (almost*) * At long last, prebuilt Linux 32 bit platform installers Changes to Contents: * Some packages have been removed from the installed packages set (both minimal and full) including old-locale, old-time, cgi, and the transitive cgi dependencies: transformers-compat, multipart, and exceptions. * fixed has been added to the platform as a transitive dependency of GLUT. A full list of contents is available at https://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html Thanks to all the contributors to this release, thanks to all the package and tool maintainers and authors, and a big thanks to the GHC team for putting together such an exciting new compiler release!
