----------------------------------------------------------- WLPE' 06 - CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Logic-based Methods in Programming Environments (satellite workshop of ICLP’06) August 16, 2006 Seattle (Washington), USA http://lml.ls.fi.upm.es/~susana/Conferences/WLPE06/ ----------------------------------------------------------- Aim and Scope ------------- The 16th Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments will take place in Seattle (Washington), USA, as a satellite workshop of ICLP'06, the 22th International Conference on Logic Programming. This workshop will continue the series of successful international workshops on logic programming environments held in Ohio, USA (1989), Eilat, Israel (1990), Paris, France (1991), Washington, USA (1992), Vancouver, Canada (1993), Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy (1994), Portland, USA (1995), Leuven, Belgium and Port Jefferson, USA (1997), Las Cruces, USA (1999), Paphos, Cyprus (2001), Copenhagen, Denmark (2002), Mumbai, India (2003), Saint Malo, France (2004) and Sitges, Spain (2005). The workshop aims at providing an informal meeting for the researchers working on logic-based tools for development and analysis of programs. This year we want to emphasize two aspects: on one hand we want to discuss the presentation, pragmatics and experiences of such tools; on the other one, we want to shift the traditional focus on environment tools for logic programming to logic-based environmental tools for programming in general. Specific topic areas relevant to the workshop include, but are not limited to: * tools for debugging and testing * tools for static and dynamic analysis * systems for program verification and validation * code generation from specifications * termination and non-termination analyzers * reasoners on occurs-check freeness and determinacy * profilers and performance analyzers * systems for types and modes analyzes * module systems * optimization tools. In addition to papers describing more conceptual work on environmental tools, we solicit papers describing the implementation of and experimentation with such tools. Submission guidelines --------------------- Length of papers can range from 2 to 17 pages, preferably in LNCS format. Authors are requested to submit their paper using the submission webpage at http://vampire.cs.man.ac.uk/WLPE-06/ Alternatively, authors can send a copy of their paper (in pdf or ps format) to the workshop coordinator (wva@info.fundp.ac.be). An informal proceedings will be published as a technical report of the University of Namur and distributed at the workshop. After the workshop, the proceedings will be publicly available on-line in the Computing Research Repository (CoRR).
