Prolog standardization discussion forums
by Paulo Moura 18 May '07

[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Hi! I'm setting up public Prolog standardization discussion forums at: http://prolog.logtalk.org/ The forums are open to all people willing to contribute to improve =20 the current Prolog standards and standardization proposals. My hope is that by making the current standardization process more =20 open and public we can attract more interested parties and more =20 feedback on the current proposals. The current model of using mailing =20= lists is too closed and restricted and only a few people are able to =20 attend and participate in the official ISO meetings. In the forums you will find links to the current standardization =20 proposals and to some of the earlier mailing list discussions. A wiki =20= is also planned in the near future to allow forum discussions to be =20 summarized, providing a more suitable collaboration tool to get the =20 text of the final standardization proposals in shape for balloting. All the best, Paulo P.S. I will be personally paying for the hosting costs, hence the =20 domain name used for the forums. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Paulo Jorge Lopes de Moura Dep. of Computer Science, University of Beira Interior 6201-001 Covilh=E3, Portugal Office 4.3 Ext. 3257 Phone: +351 275319891 Fax: +351 275319899 Email: <mailto:pmoura(a)di.ubi.pt> Home page: <http://www.di.ubi.pt/~pmoura> Research: <http://logtalk.org/> ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================== 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/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CFP: CICLOPS 2007
by Salvador Abreu 10 May '07

10 May '07

(apologies if you receive multiple copies) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers CICLOPS 2007 Colloquium on Implementation of Constraint LOgic Programming Systems http://www.di.uevora.pt/ciclops07/ October 8/13, 2007 To be held in conjunction with ICLP 2007 - 23nd International Conference on Logic Programming Porto, Portugal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview -------- 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, operating system support for cluster computing and the generalized use of mutiprocessor systems, including in particular multicore microprocessors. 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. CICLOPS 2007 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), Sitges (Spain, 2005), Seattle (USA, 2006), 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 design 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 --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: July 1st, 2007 (strict) Notifications to Authors: August 1st, 2007 Camera-ready Version Deadline: August 20th, 2007 CICLOPS 2007 Workshop: September 8 or 13, 2007 (TBA) Submission Guidelines --------------------- Participants should submit a paper (maximum 15 pages, PDF format), describing their work in topics relevant to the workshop. Accepted papers will be presented during the workshop. At least one author of an accepted contribution is expected to register for the workshop, and present the paper. All submissions should include the author's name(s), affiliation, complete mailing address, and email address. Authors are requested to prepare their submissions, following the LNCS/LNAI Springer format. Please see: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for further details. The submission should be submitted through the electronic submission site, accessible via the workshop web page. The deadline for receipt of submissions is July 1, 2007. Papers received after this date may not be reviewed. Eligible papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Authors will be notified via email of the results by August 1, 2007. Authors of accepted papers are expected to improve their paper based on reviewers' comments and to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts by August 20, 2007. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will be distributed to the participants.
