LOPSTR 2018: Second Final Call for Papers
======================================================================
28th International Symposium on
Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation
LOPSTR 2018
http://ppdp-lopstr-18.cs.uni-frankfurt.de/index.html
Frankfurt, Germany, September 4-6, 2018
(co-located with PPDP 2018 and WFLP 2018)
######### New: submission deadline extended to April 15, 2018
The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote
international
research and collaboration on logic-based program development.
LOPSTR
is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any
language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively,
friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress.
Formal
proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors
can
incorporate this feedback in the published papers.
The 28th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis
and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2018) will be held at the Goethe-University
Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Previous symposia were held in Siena,
Canterbury, Madrid, Leuven, Odense, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia,
Lyngby, Venice, London, Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London,
Venice, Manchester, Leuven, Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa,
Louvain-la-Neuve,
Manchester, Edinburgh, and Namur. LOPSTR 2018 will be co-located
with PPDP 2018 (International Symposium on Principles and Practice
of Declarative Programming) and WFLP 2018 (International Workshop
on Functional and Logic Programming).
Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program
development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of
both
programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large. Both full
papers and extended abstracts describing applications in these
areas
are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects
of
logic-based program development, including, but not limited to:
* synthesis * transformation * specialization * composition *
optimization * inversion * specification * analysis and
verification * testing and certification * program and model
manipulation * transformational techniques in SE * applications
and tools
Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a
new
perspective, and application papers that describe experience with
industrial applications are also welcome.
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 chairs in case of
questions).
Important Dates
Abstract submission: April 8, 2018
Paper/Extended abstract submission: April 15, 2018
Notification: June 1, 2018
Camera-ready (for electronic pre-proceedings): June 17, 2018
Symposium: September 4-6, 2018
Submission Guidelines
Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in
English) in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science
style. Each submission must include on its first page the paper
title;
authors and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract;
and
three to four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in
selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Page numbers (and,
if
possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help
the
reviewers in writing their report. Submissions cannot exceed 15
pages
including references but excluding well-marked appendices not
intended
for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the
appendices,
and thus papers should be intelligible without them. Papers should
be
submitted via the Easychair submission website for LOPSTR 2018.
Best Paper Award and Prize
A best paper award will be granted, which will include a 500 EUR
prize
provided by Springer. This award will be given to the best paper
submitted to the conference, based on the relevance, originality,
and
technical quality. The program committee may split the award among
two
or more papers, also considering authorship (e.g., student paper).
Invited Talks
LOPSTR/PPDP: Philippa Gardner, Imperial College - formal methods
for JavaScript
LOPSTR/PPDP: Jorge Navas, SRI International - SeaHorn and
constrained horn clauses for verification
LOPSTR: Laure Gonnord, University of Lyon - experiences in
designing scalable static analyses
PPDP: Chung-Chieh Shan, Indiana University - probabilistic
programming
Proceedings
The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by
Springer
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full papers can
be
directly accepted for publication in the formal proceedings, or
accepted only for presentation at the symposium and inclusion in
informal proceedings. After the symposium, all authors of extended
abstracts and full papers accepted only for presentation will be
invited to revise and/or extend their submissions in the light of
the
feedback solicited at the symposium. Then, after another round of
reviewing, these revised papers may also be published in the
formal
proceedings.
