Call for Papers and Demos ========================= ****** Abstract deadline: Oct. 17, 2007 ****** Paper deadline: Oct. 22, 2007 PLAN-X 2008 --- Programming Language Techniques for XML ACM SIGPLAN Workshop colocated with POPL 2008 San Francisco, California, USA - 9 January 2008 http://gemo.futurs.inria.fr/events/PLANX2008/ The PLAN-X 2008 workshop is the forum to present and discuss bleeding-edge research at the intersection of programming language and data base technology with an emphasis on tree-shaped data structures and their XML representation. Topics of interest are all aspects of XML processing and querying: theories, methodologies, paradigms, language designs, types, analyses, runtime aspects, implementations, tools, applications. This edition of PLAN-X is particularly interested in blending the XML processing approaches developed by the programming languages and data management communities. Expressive power and high performance are among the common goals that these communities pursue. We encourage the submission of crosscutting contributions that apply techniques from one community to problems from the other. The primary criteria for paper selection are originality, relevance, and timeliness to ensure that we can enjoy reports on ongoing and unfinished work with high potential in the workshop. Submissions =========== We seek submissions in two categories * regular papers (10 pages, 30 minutes presentation) * demo papers (4 pages, 10 minutes plenary presentation + 30 minutes slot for individual discussions shared with other demos) For details see the submission instructions on http://gemo.futurs.inria.fr/events/PLANX2008/?page=subm Important Dates =============== Abstract deadline *** 17 October 2007 Submission deadline *** 22 October 2007 Notification 30 November 2007 Final papers due 14 December 2007 Program Committee ================= Veronique Benzaken Université de Paris-Sud 11, France Alin Deutsch University of California, San Diego, USA Wenfei Fan University of Edinburgh, UK Mary Fernandez ATT Research, USA Haruo Hosoya University of Tokyo, Japan Ralf Lämmel Universität Koblenz, Germany Sebastian Maneth National ICT and UNSW, Sydney, Australia Jim Melton Oracle Corporation, USA Michael Schwartzbach University of Aarhus, Denmark Jérôme Vouillon CNRS, France Ioana Manolescu (general chair) Gemo group, INRIA Futurs, France Peter Thiemann (program chair) University of Freiburg, Germany
