News: * Proceedings with selected papers will be published by Springer * Deadline for submissions extended to July 08, 2017 ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS WFLP 2017 25th International Workshop on Functional and Logic Programming 31st Workshop on (Constraint) Logic Programming part of Declare 2017 - Conference on Declarative Programming September 19-22, 2017, Wuerzburg, Germany http://www.declare17.de/wflp.html ====================================================================== GENERAL WFLP 2017 is the combination of two workshops of a successful series of annual workshops on declarative programming. The international workshops on functional and logic programming aim at bringing together researchers interested in functional programming, logic programming, as well as their integration. The workshops on (constraint) logic programming serve as the scientific forum of the annual meeting of the Society of Logic Programming (GLP e.V.) and bring together researchers interested in logic programming, constraint programming, and related areas like databases, artificial intelligence, and operations research. In this year both workshops will be jointly organized and collocated with the 21st International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management (INAP 2017) and the Summer School on Advanced Concepts for Databases and Logic Programming under the umbrella of the conference on Declarative Programming (Declare 2017) in order to promote the cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers and students from the different communities interested in the foundations, applications, and combinations of high-level, declarative programming languages and related areas. The technical program of the workshop will include invited talks, presentations of refereed papers and demo presentations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Functional programming * Logic programming * Constraint programming * Deductive databases, data mining * Extensions of declarative languages, objects * Multi-paradigm declarative programming * Foundations, semantics, nonmonotonic reasoning, dynamics * Parallelism, concurrency * Program analysis, abstract interpretation * Program transformation, partial evaluation, meta-programming * Specification, verification, declarative debugging * Knowledge representation, machine learning * Interaction of declarative programming with other formalisms (e.g., agents, XML, Java) * Implementation of declarative languages * Advanced programming environments and tools * Software technique for declarative programming * Applications The primary focus is on new and original research results but submissions describing innovative products, prototypes under development, application systems, or interesting experiments (e.g., benchmarks) are also encouraged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission of abstracts: July 05, 2017 Submission of papers: July 08, 2017 Notification of acceptance: July 24, 2017 Camera-ready papers: August 04, 2017 Workshop: September 19-22, 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). Papers can be submitted as technical papers or system descriptions. Technical papers should consist of up to 15 pages, system descriptions should be no longer than 6 pages. Formatting should follow the LNCS guidelines. The details about the procedure to submit papers electronically are described on the conference website. Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. They should include a clear identification of what has been accomplished and why it is significant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PROCEEDINGS All accepted papers will be published as a technical report. As for previous events, selected papers will be published as a volume in the Springer LNAI series. Previous proceedings appeared as Springer LNCS volumes 8439 (WFLP 2013), 6816 (WFLP 2011), 6559 (WFLP 2010), 5979 (WFLP 2009), 5437 (WLP 2007), and 3392 (WLP 2004). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Slim Abdennadher German University in Cairo, Egypt Sergio Antoy Portland State University, USA Olaf Chitil University of Kent, UK Juergen Dix Clausthal University of Technology, Germany Moreno Falaschi Universita di Siena, Italy Michael Hanus University of Kiel, Germany (Chair) Sebastiaan Joosten University of Innsbruck, Austria Oleg Kiselyov Tohoku University, Japan Herbert Kuchen University of Muenster, Germany Sibylle Schwarz HTWK Leipzig, Germany Dietmar Seipel University of Wuerzburg, Germany Tom Schrijvers KU Leuven, Belgium Martin Sulzmann Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Germany Hans Tompits Vienna University of Technology, Austria German Vidal Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain Janis Voigtlaender University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Johannes Waldmann HTWK Leipzig, Germany ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT Michael Hanus University of Kiel, Germany Email: mh@informatik.uni-kiel.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------
