********************************************************************** NEW: The deadline for submissions to WFLP 2003 has been extended to April 2, 2003 ********************************************************************** ====================================================================== SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS WFLP 2003 12th Int'l Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming June 12-13, 2003, Valencia (Spain) http://www.dsic.upv.es/~rdp03/wflp/ ====================================================================== WFLP is the International Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming. WFLP'03, the twelfth in the series, will be held in Valencia, Spain, June 12-13, 2003, at the Federated Conference on Rewriting, Deduction and Programming (RDP'03) http://www.dsic.upv.es/~rdp03/ The WFLP workshops aim at bringing together researchers interested in functional programming, (constraint) logic programming, as well as their integration. It promotes the cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among researches and students from the different communities interested in the foundations, applications, and combina- tions 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. Previous editions of the workshop have been held in Grado (Italy), Kiel (Germany), Benicassim (Spain), Grenoble (France), Bad Honnef (Germany), Schwarzenberg (Germany), Marburg (Germany), Rattenberg (Germany), and Karlsruhe (Germany). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST WFLP'03 solicits papers in all areas of functional and (constraint) logic programming, including (but not limited to): * Language Design: modules and type systems, multi-paradigm languages, concurrency and distribution, objects * Foundations: formal semantics, rewriting and narrowing, nonmonotonic reasoning, dynamics, type theory * Implementation: abstract machines, parallelism, compile-time and run-time optimizations, interfacing with external languages * Transformation and Analysis: abstract interpretation, specialization, partial evaluation, program transformation, meta-programming * Software Engineering: design patterns, specification, verification and validation, debugging, test generation * Applications: declarative programming in education and industry, domain-specific languages, visual/graphical user interfaces,embedded systems, WWW applications, knowledge representation and machine learning, deductive databases, advanced programming environments and tools The main focus is on new and original research results but submissions describing innovative products, prototypes under development or interesting experiments (e.g., benchmarks) are also encouraged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission of papers: Wednesday, April 2, 2003 Notification of acceptance: Friday, April 25, 2003 Camera-ready papers: Sunday, May 11, 2003 Workshop: June 12 - 13, 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract (no longer than 12 pages including figures and references) or a system description (no longer than 4 pages) in Postscript or PDF format (Springer LNCS style) via email to gvidal@dsic.upv.es before April 2, 2003. Submissions should include the title, authors' names, affiliations, addresses, and e-mail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PUBLICATION Accepted papers will be included in the preliminary proceedings that will be available at the workshop. After the workshop, authors of the best abstracts will be invited to submit full papers.These full papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEST NEWCOMER AWARD An award will be given to the best paper exclusively written by one or several young researchers who have not yet obtained their PhD degrees. Papers written in this category should be clearly marked "Student papers" in the submission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Maria Alpuente (Technical University of Valencia, Spain) Sergio Antoy (Portland State University, USA) Annalisa Bossi (Universita Ca' Foscari di Venezia, Italy) Olaf Chitil (University of York, UK) Rachid Echahed (Institut IMAG, France) Sandro Etalle (University of Twente, The Netherlands) Moreno Falaschi (Universita di Udine, Italy) Michael Hanus (CAU Kiel, Germany) Yukiyoshi Kameyama (University of Tsukuba, Japan) Herbert Kuchen (University of Muenster, Germany) Michael Leuschel (University of Southampton, UK) Juan Jose Moreno-Navarro (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain) Ernesto Pimentel (University of Malaga, Spain) Mario Rodriguez-Artalejo (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain) German Vidal (Technical University of Valencia, Spain) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Elvira Albert Santiago Escobar Cesar Ferri Jose Hernandez Carlos Herrero Pascual Julian Marisa Llorens Gines Moreno Javier Oliver German Vidal Alicia Villanueva ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FURTHER INFORMATION WFLP 2003: http://www.dsic.upv.es/~rdp03/wflp Workshop contact: gvidal@dsic.upv.es RDP 2003: http://www.dsic.upv.es/~rdp03
