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 Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chairs in case of questions).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.

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.

Consultation on self-explanatory example of Active Modules in Ciao Prolog
by JAEL YAÑEZ 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

Question, has someone worked with active modules? and with the agent module? Ciao prolog has some self-explanatory examples to follow, but I have not managed to make them work for webbased and platformbased protocols. If you can tell me your experience I would be very grateful. Greetings. Jael

WFLP has a reputation for being a lively and friendly forum, and it is open for presenting and discussing work in progress, technical contributions, experience reports, experiments, reviews, and system descriptions. The 26th International Workshop on Functional and (constraint) Logic Programming (WFLP 2018) will be held at the Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Previous WFLP editions were WFLP 2017 (Würzburg, Germany), WFLP 2016 (Leipzig, Germany), WFLP 2014 (Wittenberg, Germany), WFLP 2013 (Kiel, Germany), WFLP 2012 (Nagoya, Japan), WFLP 2011 (Odense, Denmark), WFLP 2010 (Madrid, Spain), WFLP 2009 (Brasilia, Brazil), WFLP 2008 (Siena, Italy), WFLP 2007 (Paris, France), WFLP 2006 (Madrid, Spain), WCFLP 2005 (Tallinn, Estonia), WFLP 2004 (Aachen, Germany), WFLP 2003 (Valencia, Spain), WFLP 2002 (Grado, Italy), WFLP 2001 (Kiel, Germany), WFLP 2000 (Benicassim, Spain), WFLP'99 (Grenoble, France), WFLP'98 (Bad Honnef, Germany), WFLP'97 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'96 (Marburg, Germany), WFLP'95 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'94 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'93 (Rattenberg, Germany), and WFLP'92 (Karlsruhe, Germany). WFLP 2018 will be co-located with PPDP 2018 (International Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming) and LOPSTR 2018 (International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation. *Topics* The topics of interest cover all aspects of functional and logic programming. They include (but are not limited to): * Functional programming * Logic programming * Constraint programming * Deductive databases, data mining * Extensions of declarative languages, objects * Multi-paradigm declarative programming * Foundations, semantics, non-monotonic reasoning, dynamics * Parallelism, concurrency * Program analysis, abstract interpretation * program and model manipulation * Program transformation, partial evaluation, meta-programming * Specification, verification * Debugging, testing * Knowledge representation, machine learning * Interaction of declarative programming with other formalisms * Implementation of declarative languages * Advanced programming environments and tools * Software techniques for declarative programming * Applications The primary focus is on new and original research results, but submissions describing innovative products, prototypes under development, application systems, or interesting experiments (e.g., benchmarks) are also encouraged. Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective, and experience reports are also welcome. Papers must be written and presented in English. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). *Submission Guidelines* Submission is via Easychair submission website for WFLP 2018: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wflp2018 Authors are invited to submit papers in the following categories: + Regular research paper + Work-in-progress report + System description Regular research papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been formally published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with formal proceedings. They will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. For work-in-progress reports and system descriptions, less formal rules apply, and presentation-only submissions (talk and discussion, but no paper in the formal proceedings) are possible. Please contact the PC chair with any questions. All submissions must be formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. 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. However, all submissions (especially work-in-progress reports and system descriptions) may be considerably shorter than 15 pages. *Proceedings* All papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be published in informal proceedings publicly available at the Computing Research Repository. According to the program committee reviews, submissions can be directly accepted for publication in the formal post-conference proceedings. The formal post-conference proceedings will be published in both electronic and paper formats by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. After the conference, all authors accepted only for presentation will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the conference. Then, after another round of reviewing, these revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings. Therefore, all accepted papers will be published in open-access, and the authors can also decide to publish their work in the Springer LNCS formal proceedings. *Program Committee* + Slim Abdennadher, German University in Cairo, Egypt + Maria Alpuente, Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain + Sergio Antoy, Portland State University, USA + Olaf Chitil, University of Kent, UK + Maria del Mar Gallardo, Universidad de Málaga, Spain + Michael Hanus, University of Kiel, Germany + Herbert Kuchen, University of Münster, Germany + Kostis Sagonas, Uppsala University, Sweden + Tom Schrijvers, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium + Sibylle Schwarz, HTWK Leipzig, Germany + Martina Seidl, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria + Dietmar Seipel, University of Würzburg, Germany + Josep Silva, Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain (Program Chair) + Salvador Tamarit, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain + Janis Voigtländer, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany + Johannes Waldmann, HTWK Leipzig, Germany *Organizing Committee* David Sabel (General Chair), Computer Science Institute Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Germany
