[Apologies for multiple postings] ======================================================================= Call For Papers CICLOPS 2006 Colloquium on Implementation of Constraint LOgic Programming Systems http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/lldap/CICLOPS06 August 21, 2006 To be held in conjunction with 22nd International Conference on Logic Programming Seattle, Washington ======================================================================= Workshop Motivation ==================== The last years have witnessed continuous progress in the technology available both for academic and commercial computing environments. Examples include more processor performance, increased memory capacity and bandwidth, faster networking technology, and operating system support for cluster computing. These improvements, combined with recent advances in compilation and implementation technologies, are causing high-level languages to be regarded as good candidates for programming complex, real world applications. Techniques aiming at achieving flexibility in the language design make powerful extensions easier to implement; on the other hand, implementations which reach good performance in terms of speed and memory consumption make declarative languages and systems amenable to develop non-trivial applications. Logic Programming and Constraint Programming, in particular, seem to offer one of the best options, as they couple a high level of abstraction and a declarative nature with an extreme flexibility in the design of their implementations and extensions and of their execution model. This adaptability is key to, for example, the implicit exploitation of alternative execution strategies tailored for different applications (e.g., for domain-specific languages) without unnecessarily jeopardizing efficiency. This workshop continues a tradition of successful workshops on Implementations of Logic Programming Systems, previously held with in Budapest (1993) and Ithaca (1994), the Compulog Net workshops on Parallelism and Implementation Technologies held in Madrid (1993 and 1994), Utrecht (1995) and Bonn (1996), the Workshop on Parallelism and Implementation Technology for (Constraint) Logic Programming Languages (ParImp) held in Port Jefferson (1997), Manchester (1998), Las Cruces (1999), and London (2000), and more recently the Colloquium on Implementation of Constraint and LOgic Programming Systems (CICLOPS) in Paphos (Cyprus, 2001), Copenhagen (2002), Mumbai (2003), Saint-Malo (France, 2004), and Sitges (Spain, 2005), and the CoLogNet Workshops on Implementation Technology for Computational Logic Systems held in Madrid (2002), Pisa (2003) and Saint-Malo (France, 2004). Workshop Description ==================== The workshop aims at discussing and exchanging experience on the design, implementation, and optimization of logic and constraint (logic) programming systems, or systems intimately related to logic as a means to express computations. Preference will be given to the analysis and description of implemented (or under implementation) systems and their associated techniques, problems found in their development or design, and steps taken towards the solutions. The workshop topics include, but are not limited to: - Implementation of standard/alternative sequential models (generalization and modification of the WAM, translation to lower-level and/or general-purpose languages, etc.); - Implementation of parallel/concurrent models; - Interaction between high-level optimizations/transformations and lower- level issues; - Compile-time analysis and its application to code generation; - Balance between compile-time effort and run-time machinery; - Memory management, indexing, and garbage collection issues; - Profiling tools and performance evaluation; - Implementation techniques for declarative programming paradigms with basis on, or extending, logic and constraint programming, such as non-monotonic reasoning, inductive logic programming, natural language processing systems, etc; - Software desing with and for (C)LP systems: components, patterns, etc.; - Design and implementation of programming environments; - Experiences from using systems in real-life applications. Workshop Format =============== The workshop will emphasize discussion and cross-fertilization, so presentations will be balanced with discussion time. In this direction, the workshop is seeking high quality papers that address cutting-edge research in this field, and that can contribute to the discussion. The agenda will include paper presentations, a panel discussion, and possibly an invited speaker. At least one author of each accepted submission is expected to attend the workshop. Important Dates =============== Submission Deadline: June 1st, 2006 (strict) Notifications to Authors: July 1st, 2006 Final Version Deadline: July 20th, 2006 CICLOPS 2006 Workshop: August 21st, 2006 Submission Guidelines ===================== Participants should submit a paper (maximum 15 pages, PDF format), describing their work in topics relevant to the workshop.

11 May '06

[Apologies for multiple postings] ----------------------------------------------------------- WLPE' 06 - 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Logic-based Methods in Programming Environments (satellite workshop of ICLP’06) August 16, 2006 Seattle (Washington), USA http://lml.ls.fi.upm.es/~susana/Conferences/WLPE06/ ----------------------------------------------------------- Aim and Scope ------------- The 16th Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments will take place in Seattle (Washington), USA, as a satellite workshop of ICLP'06, the 22th 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, USA (1992), Vancouver, Canada (1993), Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy (1994), Portland, USA (1995), Leuven, Belgium and Port Jefferson, USA (1997), Las Cruces, USA (1999), Paphos, Cyprus (2001), Copenhagen, Denmark (2002), Mumbai, India (2003), Saint Malo, France (2004) and Sitges, Spain (2005). The workshop aims at providing an informal meeting for the researchers working on logic-based tools for development and analysis of programs. This year we want to emphasize two aspects: on one hand we want to discuss the presentation, pragmatics and experiences of such tools; on the other one, we want to shift the traditional focus on environment tools for logic programming to logic-based environmental tools for programming in general. Specific topic areas relevant to the workshop include, but are not limited to: * tools for debugging and testing * tools for static and dynamic analysis * systems for program verification and validation * code generation from specifications * termination and non-termination analyzers * reasoners on occurs-check freeness and determinacy * profilers and performance analyzers * systems for types and modes analyzes * module systems * optimization tools. In addition to papers describing more conceptual work on environmental tools, we solicit papers describing the implementation of and experimentation with such tools. Submission guidelines --------------------- Length of papers can range from 2 to 17 pages, preferably in LNCS format. Authors are requested to submit their paper using the submission webpage at http://vampire.cs.man.ac.uk/WLPE-06/ Alternatively, authors can send a copy of their paper (in pdf or ps format) to the workshop coordinator (wva(a)info.fundp.ac.be). An informal proceedings will be published as a technical report of the University of Namur and distributed at the workshop. After the workshop, the proceedings will be publicly available on-line in the Computing Research Repository (CoRR).

I've tried to compile ciao-1.10p7 on an Intel Mac. The compilation fails as there is no definition for the environment variable CIAOARCH. I don't recall defining this variable by hand in previous Ciao versions. There is also no mention of this variable in the SETTINGS file. Your help is appreciated.

New patch for Ciao Prolog 1.10
by ciao＠clip.dia.fi.upm.es 08 May '06

08 May '06

Dear ciao-users, we have put in the Ciao webpage (http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Software/Ciao/) a new patch (patch 7) to Ciao 1.10. This corrects the behavior of Ciao in some modern Linux kernels, where memory management has changed somewhat, affecting Ciao (and also other applications). Some users may have experienced "segmentation violation" messages on startup due to this. We hope these problems are solved with the update. Please let us know of any problem you may find. We would like to take this opportunity to let you all know that, although we have chosen to keep the 1.10 distribution stable for a while, publising only bug fixes, in the meantime there has been continued and very intense activity on many parts of the system, adding a long list of features and libraries, which we hope will be of interest, as well a number of bug fixes. We will be releasing a beta version (probably a beta for 1.13) so that those interested can try things out ahead of the next stable release. ============================================================================== Message: Address: Action: help majordomo(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Info. on useful commands subscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Subscribe to this list unsubscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Unsubscribe from this list <whatever> ciao-users(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Send message to list ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Mail/ciao-users/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
