3rd Workshop on Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming (AAIP 2009) associated with the 14th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2009) 4 September 2009, Edinburgh, Scotland *** Submission Deadline 11 May 2009 *** http://www.cogsys.wiai.uni-bamberg.de/aaip09/ CALL FOR PAPERS Inductive Programming is concerned with the automated construction of declarative (often functional) programs from incomplete specifications such as input/output examples. This inductive type of automated program synthesis has been originally addressed by researchers in artificial intelligence and machine learning. During the last years, some work on exploiting induction techniques has been started also in the functional programming community. This is the third workshop on "Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming" and takes place for the first time in conjunction with ICFP. AAIP'09 aims to bring together researchers from the field of inductive functional programming and present and compare the different approaches with respect to their scope and efficiency. Furthermore, challenge problems for inductive programming which can be of interest to the functional programming community will be discussed. Finally, potential applications of inductive programming, especially the potential of such approaches for their use as programming assistants shall be discussed. We hope that this workshop advances fruitful interactions between the functional programming and the inductive functional programming communities. We invite authors to submit papers in either of two categories: technical papers and work in progress reports. Topics of interest are theoretical approaches to and algorithms or applications of inductive programming. Technical papers should present mature work on up to 12 pages. Additionally, extended abstracts (up to two pages) can be submitted to report work in progress. INVITED TALKS It is our pleasure to announce the following invited speakers: * Lennart Augustsson (Chalmers University of Technology) * Pieter Koopman and Rinus Plasmeijer (University of Nijmegen) * Neil Mitchell (Standard Chartered) PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION Accepted technical papers will be presented orally (20 min. talk and 10 min. discussion). Accepted work in progress reports will be presented as posters. Workshop proceedings will be published online and as technical report. Furthermore, we plan to publish revised and selected papers as post-proceedings volume at Springer LNCS/LNAI. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES * Submissions of technical papers should be no longer than 12 pages, including bibliography and appendices. Submissions of work in progress reports should not be longer than 2 pages. Both paper types should follow the ICFP submission policy. The document template for LaTeX available from SIGPLAN should be used to prepare the document: http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm * Submission should be sent as EMail attachment as PDF to the workshop organizers using the following address martin.hofmann@uni-bamberg.de * Submitted papers must have content that has not previously been published in other conferences or refereed venues, and simultaneous submission to other conferences or refereed venues is unacceptable.
