WLPE'08 -- Call for Papers The 18th Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Conferences/WLPE08/ December 9th-13th 2008, Udine, Italy (Satellite Workshop of ICLP 2008) The 18th Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments will take place in Udine (Italy), as a satellite workshop of ICLP 2008, the 24th International Conference on Logic Programming. This workshop will continue the series of successful international workshops on logic programming environments held in Ohio, USA (1989), Eilat, Israel (1990), Paris, France (1991), Washington D.C., USA (1992), Vancouver, Canada (1993), Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy (1994), Portland, USA (1995), Leuven, Belgium (1997), Las Cruces, USA (1999), Paphos, Cyprus (2001), Copenhagen, Denmark (2002), Mumbai, India (2003), Saint Malo, France (2004), Sitges (Barcelona), Spain (2005), Seattle, USA (2006) and Porto, Portugal (2007). More information about the series of WLPE workshops can be found at http://www.cs.usask.ca/projects/envlop/WLPE/ The workshop aims at providing an informal meeting for researchers working on logic-based methods and tools which support program development and analysis. This year, we plan to continue and consolidate the shift in focus from environmental tools for logic programming to logic-based environmental tools for programming in general, so that this workshop can be possibly interesting for a wider scientific community. In addition to papers describing more conceptual and theoretical work, the call for papers will solicit papers describing the implementation of, and the experience with, such tools. Areas particularly relevant to the workshop include (but are not limited to): - static and dynamic analysis - debugging and testing - program verification and validation - code generation from specifications - termination and non-termination analysis - reasoning on occurs-check freeness and determinacy - profiling and performance analysis - type- and mode analysis - module systems - optimization tools Authors who are interested in taking part in the workshop, but are unsure if their work falls within its scope, are invited to contact the organizers and will be given suitable advice.
