Last Call for Participation P L A N - X 2 0 0 7 Programming Language Technologies for XML An ACM SIGPLAN Workshop collocated with POPL 2007 Nice, France -- January 20, 2007 www.plan-x-2007.org Please join us for PLAN-X 2007, the fifth workshop in the PLAN-X series, dedicated to the interaction and integration of programming language technology and the world of XML. The XML data model and its associated languages add interesting twists to programming language practice as well as theory. Just like its four predecessors, the PLAN-X 2007 workshop turns the spotlight on how programming language technology can embrace and explain streaming XML transformations, types for XPath and XML updates, web service contracts, tree patterns in XQuery, LINQ and XML Schema, and more. PLAN-X 2007 will feature eight talks, four system demonstrations, extensive opportunity for discussion, and a keynote address by Christoph Koch (U Saarland, Germany). PLAN-X 2007 will be held in the Plaza Hotel (Nice, France) all-day on Saturday, January 20, 2007, just after and collocated with POPL 2007, the ACM SIGPLAN - SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (January 17-19, 2007). -- PROGRAM (Saturday, January 20, 2007) 09:00--10:00 Welcome Invited Talk by Christoph Koch (U Saarland, Germany) XPath Leashed 10:00--10:30 Coffee break 10:30--12:00 Session 1: Research Papers Streaming XML Transformations Using Term Rewriting (Alain Frisch, Keisuke Nakano) How to Recognise Different Kinds of Tree Patterns From Quite a Long Way Away (Jan Hidders, Philippe Michiels, Jerome Simeon, Roel Vercammen) Lux: A Lightweight, Statically Typed XML Update Language (James Cheney) 12:00--01:30 Workshop lunch (provided) 01:30--03:10 Session 2: Research Papers and Demo Presentations A Theory of Contracts for Web Services (Giuseppe Castagna, Nils Gesbert, Luca Padovani) XML Transformation Language Based on Monadic Second Order Logic (Kazuhiro Inaba, Haruo Hosoya) Demo: MTran: An XML Transformation Language Bases on Monadic Second Order Logic (Kazuhiro Inaba, Haruo Hosoya) Demo: XCentric: A Logic-Programming Language for XML Processing (Jorge Coelho, Mário Florido) Demo: LINQ to XSD (Ralf Lämmel) Demo: GeLaBa: A Framework to Define Classes of XML Documents and to Automatically Derive Specialized Infrastructures (Benoit Pin, Georges André Silber) 03:10--04:00 Interactive Demos and Coffee break 04:00--05:30 Session 3: Research Papers XPath Typing Using a Modal Logic with Converse for Finite Trees (Pierre Geneves, Nabil Layaida, Alan Schmitt) Deciding Equivalence of Top-Down XML Transformations in Polynomial Time (Sebastian Maneth, Helmut Seidl) A Logic Your Typechecker Can Count On: Unordered Tree Types in Practice (Nate Foster, Benjamin C.
