In particular, it wants to stimulate the cross-fertilization as well as integration of the two paradigms. The symposium takes place about every 1.5 years in Japan. Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji Susuno (1995), Shonan Village (1996), Kyoto(1998), Tsukuba (1999), and Tokyo (2001). Topics ====== The Sixth International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming (FLOPS 2002) solicits original papers in all areas of functional and logic programming, including (but not limited to): * Language issues: language design and constructs, programming methodology, integration of paradigms, interfacing with other languages, type systems, constraints, concurrency and distributed computing * Foundations: semantics, rewrite systems and narrowing, type theory, proof systems * Implementation: compilation techniques, memory management, program analysis and transformation, partial evaluation, parallelism * Applications: case studies, real-world applications, graphical user interfaces, internet applications, database connection, formal methods and model checking Submissions =========== Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should fall into one of the following two categories: 1. Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be judged on originality, correctness and significance. 2. System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness and design. All submissions must be written in English. Regular research papers can be up to 15 proceedings pages long, system descriptions will be up to 4 pages long. Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e and the Springer llncs class file, available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The title page should indicate the submission category. Regular research papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made accesible otherwise (e.g. a link to a web page, or an appendix). Submission is Web-based. In order to submit a paper, authors should fill in the submission form available at http://www.ucm.es/info/flops2002/www/submit.html where more detailed instructions are given. If submission through the Web is not possible, five hard copies may be sent to Mario Rodriguez-Artalejo Universidad Complutense de Madrid Departamento de Sistemas Informaticos y Programacion Edificio Fac. Matematicas Av. Complutense s/n 28040 Madrid, Spain Publication and presentation of accepted contributions ====================================================== The Proceedings of FLOPS 2002 will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. They will be available at the conference. One author of each accepted contribution is expected to attend the Symposium in order to present it. Presentations of regular research papers will be scheduled for 30 minutes, including questions from the audience. System presentations will be scheduled for 15 minutes. Important Dates =============== Submission Deadline: March 1, 2002 Notification: May 21, 2002 Final Version: June 25, 2002 Symposium: September 15--17, 2002 Program Co-Chairs ================= Zhenjiang Hu University of Tokyo, Japan Mario Rodriguez-Artalejo Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain E-Mail: flops2002@ucm.es Program Committee ================= Maria Alpuente Technical University of Valencia, Spain Wei-Ngan Chin National University of Singapore, Singapore Pierre Deransart INRIA-Rocquencourt, France Moreno Falaschi University of Udine, Italy Michael Hanus University of Kiel, Germany Zhenjiang Hu (Co-Chair) University of Tokyo, Japan Jan Maluszynski Linkoeping University, Sweden Aart Middeldorp University of Tsukuba, Japan Gopalan Nadathur University of Minnesota, USA Susumu Nishimura Kyoto University, Japan Catuscia Palamidessi The Pennsylvania State University, USA Mario Rodriguez-Artalejo (Co-Chair) Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain Francesca Rossi University of Padova, Italy Harald Sondergaard The University of Melbourne, Australia Kazunori Ueda Waseda University, Japan Kwangkeun Yi KAIST, Korea Local Arrangements Chair ======================== Taro Suzuki University of Aizu, Japan Sponsors ======== Sponsored by: Japan Society of Software Science and Technology (JSSST), Special Interest Group on Principles of Programming.
