CALL FOR PAPERS 4th International Workshop on Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming AAIP 2011 July 19, 2011, Odense, Denmark http://www.cogsys.wiai.uni-bamberg.de/aaip11/ co-located with the International ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming (PPDP 2011) and the International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2011). AIMS AND SCOPE Inductive program synthesis or inductive programming (IP) is concerned with the automated generation of general computer programs from incomplete specifications such as input/output examples. IP particularly includes the synthesis of programs that contain loops or recursive calls. This inductive type of automated program synthesis is addressed by researchers in different fields such as artificial intelligence, inductive logic programming, evolutionary computation, symbolic computation, grammar inference, formal methods, and functional programming. The aim of the AAIP workshop is to have a common place to present and discuss research on all aspects of inductive programming - including, but not limited to: Inductive programming algorithms, techniques, and systems, heuristics, inductive biases, analysis of the learnability of particular program classes, and the combination of generate-and-test based and analytical techniques. We especially encourage submissions on inductive programming challenge problems and real-world applications of inductive programming in, e.g., computer-assisted software engineering, end-user programming, and intelligent agents. This is the fourth workshop on "Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming" and takes place for the first time in conjunction with PPDP and LOPSTR. We invite authors to submit papers reporting on original work in either of two categories: full technical papers and short papers. Full papers should present mature work. Short papers may be work in progress reports, descriptions of system demonstrations, or position statements. INVITED TALKS TBA PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION All accepted papers will be presented orally. Workshop (pre-)proceedings will be published online and as a technical report. Furthermore, we plan to publish selected and revised papers as a post-proceedings volume and sent a corresponding request to Springer LNCS. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submitted papers must describe original work, be written in English and should be formatted in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science style: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Submissions can either be full papers describing mature work or short papers describing work in progress, a system demonstration, or make a position statement. Full and short papers should not exceed 16 and 8 pages, respectively, including bibliography and appendices. Papers should be submitted as PDF via the AAIP 2011 submission webpage: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aaip2011 IMPORTANT DATES April 3, 2011 Paper submission May 16, 2011 Author notification June 12, 2011 Camera-ready July 19, 2011 Workshop ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE * Emanuel Kitzelmann, International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, USA * Ute Schmid, University of Bamberg, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Ricardo Aler Mur, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain * Pierre Flener, Uppsala University, Sweden * Lutz Hamel, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, USA * Jose Hernandez-Orallo, Technical University of Valencia, Spain * Martin Hofmann, SAP Research & Development, Germany * Johan Jeuring, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands * Susumu Katayama, University of Miyazaki, Japan * Pieter Koopman, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands * Maria Jose Ramirez Quintana, Technical University of Valencia, Spain CONTACT aaip2011@easychair.org -- Dr. Emanuel Kitzelmann International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) 1947 Center Street, Suite 600 Berkeley, CA 94704, USA e-mail: emanuel AT icsi DOT berkeley DOT edu phone: +1 510 666 2883
