LOPSTR 2023 - First Call for Papers - Paper Deadline: May 26, 2023
by Bishoksan Kafle 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

** Apologies for my previous posting about LOPSTR (please ignore)** ---------------------------------------------------------------- 33rd International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2023) Co-located with PPDP 2023 as part of SPLASH 2023 October 23-24, 2023 - Cascais, Lisbon, Portugal https://lopstr.github.io/2023/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: - Abstract submission: May 19, 2023 (AoE) - Paper submission: May 26, 2023 (AoE) - Author notification: July 24, 2023 (AoE) - Camera-ready: August 18, 2023 - Symposium: October 23-24, 2023 OVERVIEW 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. LOPSTR 2023 will be held in-person at Hotel Cascais Miragem in Cascais, Lisbon, Portugal and will be co-located with PPDP 2023 as part of SPLASH 2023. At least one of the authors of the accepted paper is expected to attend the conference and present the paper. Information about venue and travel is available on the SPLASH 2023 website. 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, including, but not limited to: - synthesis - transformation - specialization - inversion - composition - optimisation - specification - analysis and verification - testing and certification - program and model manipulation - AI-methods for program development - verification and testing of AI-based systems - transformational techniques in software engineering - logic-based methods for security, cyber-physical and distributed system - applications, tools and industrial practice Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective and papers that describe experience with industrial applications and case studies are also welcome. PAPER SUBMISSION Submissions can be made in two categories: - Regular Papers (15 pages max.) - Short Papers (8 pages max.) References do NOT count towards the page limit. Additional pages may be used for appendices not intended for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be written in English. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers/tools that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Submissions of Regular Papers must describe the original work. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). Submissions of Short Papers may include presentations of exciting if not fully polished research and tool demonstrations that are of academic and industrial interest. Tool demonstrations should describe the relevant system, usability, and implementation aspects of a tool. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume. After the symposium, a selection of a few best papers will be invited for submission to rapid publication in the Journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP). Authors of selected papers will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions to be considered for publication. The papers submitted to TPLP will be subject to the standard reviewing process of the journal. 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. Authors should consult Springer's authors' instructions at the author's page, and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX (available also in overleaf) or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, upon acceptance, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made. Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use: \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{lineno} \linenumbers Papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr2023 BEST PAPER AWARD Thanks to Springer's sponsorship, two best paper awards (one for each submission category), with a 500 EUR prize, will be given at LOPSTR 2023. The program committee will select the winning papers based on relevance, originality and technical quality but may also take authorship into account (e.g. a student paper). PROGRAM CHAIRS Robert Glück, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Bishoksan Kafle, IMDEA Software Institute, Spain PUBLICITY CHAIR Daniel Jurjo Rivas, IMDEA Software Institute, Spain PROGRAM COMMITTEE MEMBERS Slim Abdennadher, German International University, Egypt José Júlio Alferes, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal Roberto Amadini, University of Bologna, Italy William Byrd, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA Michael Codish, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel Gregory Duck, National University of Singapore, Singapore Isabel García-Contreras, University of Waterloo, Canada Ashutosh Gupta, IIT Bombay, India Gopal Gupta, The University of Texas at Dallas, USA Michael Hanus, University of Kiel, Germany Temesghen Kahsai, Amazon, USA Maja Hanne Kirkeby, Roskilde University, Denmark Michael Leuschel, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany Nai-Wei Lin, National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan Fred Mesnard, University of Reunion, France José F.

The first meeting was held in Manchester, UK in 1991. Information about previous symposia: http://lopstr.webs.upv.es/. You might have a look at the contents of past LOPSTR symposia at DBLP (https://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/conf/lopstr/index.html) and past LNCS proceedings at Springer (https://link.springer.com/conference/lopstr). -- Self-knowing is not achieved by the fastest unconscious runner, but by those who just keep running consciously.

Call for Nominations: 2023 Alain Colmerauer Prize
by Gupta, Gopal 07 Mar '23

07 Mar '23

[Apologies for multiple cross postings] *** Call for Nominations *** The 2023 Alain Colmerauer Prize ------------------------------- Organized by the Association for Logic Programming<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.logicp…> In the summer of 1972, Alain Colmerauer and his team in Marseille developed and implemented the first version of the logic programming language Prolog. Together with both earlier and later collaborations with Robert Kowalski and his colleagues in Edinburgh, this work laid the practical and theoretical foundations for the Prolog and logic programming of today. Prolog and its related technologies soon became key tools of symbolic programming and Artificial Intelligence. 2022 was celebrated as the Year of Prolog<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprologyea…> to recognize the 50th anniversary of these events and highlight the continuing significance of Prolog and Logic Programming both for symbolic, explainable AI, and for computing more generally. The celebration culminated with the award of the inaugural edition of the ALP Alain Colmerauer Prolog Heritage Prize (in short: the Alain Colmerauer Prize) for recent practical accomplishments that highlight the benefits of Prolog-inspired computing for the future. The Alain Colmerauer Prize and the Year of Prolog were organized by the Association for Logic Programming (ALP) and the Prolog Heritage Association (PHA). Details of the 2022 Alain Colmerauer Prize can be found at https://prologyear.logicprogramming.org/ColmerauerPrize.html. The 2023 Award -------------- The Alain Colmerauer Prize will continue to be awarded in 2023 and beyond. Nominations are sought for the 2023 edition of the Alain Colmerauer Prize.

This series of workshops aims to bring together researchers working in the two communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP), Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated Deduction (e.g., CADE, IJCAR), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification, and synthesis. Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by these communities in different times and from different perspectives and HCVS is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences. The workshop follows previous meetings: HCVS 2022 in Munich, Germany (ETAPS 2022), HCVS 2021, online (ETAPS 2021), HCVS 2020, online (ETAPS 2020), HCVS 2019 in Prague, Czech Republic (ETAPS 2019), HCVS 2018 in Oxford, UK (CAV, ICLP and IJCAR at FLoC 2018), HCVS 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden (CADE 2017), HCVS 2016 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands (ETAPS 2016), HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA, USA (CAV 2015), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, Austria (VSL). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas: - Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds (e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order, concurrent, transition systems, petri-nets, smart contracts) - Program synthesis - Program testing - Program transformation - Constraint solving - Type systems - Machine learning and automated reasoning - CHC encoding of analysis and verification problems - Resource analysis - Case studies and tools - Challenging problems We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as presentations covering previously published results, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, and overviews of research projects that are of interest to the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution. CHC Competition: HCVS 2023 will host the 6th competition on constraint Horn clauses (CHC-COMP https://chc-comp.github.io/ ), which will compare state-of-the-art tools for CHC solving for performance and effectiveness on a set of publicly available benchmarks. A report on CHC-COMP will be part of the workshop's proceedings. The report also contains tool descriptions of the participating solvers. Program Chairs: David Monniaux, VERIMAG, CNRS, Grenoble, France José F. Morales, IMDEA Software, Madrid, Spain Program Committee: Nikolaj Bjørner, Microsoft, USA Evelyne Contejean, LRI, CNRS, Univ Paris-Sud, France Stefania Dumbrava, ENSIIE Paris-Evry, France Fabio Fioravanti, University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy Pierre-Loic Garoche, ENAC, France Dejan Jovanović, Amazon Web Services, USA Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Heriot-Watt University, UK Jorge A. Navas, Certora, USA Philipp Rüemmer, Uppsala University, Sweden Hiroshi Unno, University of Tsukuba, Japan Submission has to be done in one of the following formats: - Regular papers (up to 12 pages plus bibliography in EPTCS (http://www.eptcs.org/) format), which should present previously unpublished work (completed or in progress), including descriptions of research, tools, and applications. - Tool papers (up to 4 pages in EPTCS format), including the papers written by the CHC-COMP participants, which can outline the theoretical framework, the architecture, the usage, and experiments of the tool. - Extended abstracts (up to 3 pages in EPTCS format), which describe work in progress or aim to initiate discussions. - **Presentation-only papers**, i.e., papers already submitted or presented at a conference or another workshop. Such papers can be submitted in any format, and will not be included in the workshop post-proceedings. - Posters that are of interest to the workshop All submitted papers will be refereed by the program committee and will be selected for inclusion in accordance with the referee reports. Accepted regular papers and extended abstracts will be published electronically as a volume in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series, see http://www.eptcs.org/ (provided that enough regular papers are accepted). The publication of a paper is not intended to preclude later publication. Full versions of extended abstracts published in EPTCS, or substantial revisions, may later be published elsewhere. Papers must be submitted through the EasyChair system using the web page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcvs2023
