Some users have been reporting problems with the download script. We have detected that it happens when you provide an email address and it is already in the mailing list (i.e., you have asked before to be added to the ciao-users mailing list). You can just select for now "no" for the mailing list on the form while we fix this. Cheers, --Manuel > I can not download a newer version of the CIAO system from the WEB > site.

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). In order to more closely follow previous LOPSTR timelines, we have added an additional round of paper submission at a more usual time for LOPSTR. Papers submitted in the first round may already be accepted before this round, while rejected papers from the first round can be resubmitted. Important Dates Abstract submission: June 26, 2018 Paper/Extended abstract submission: June 30, 2018 Notification: July 30, 2018 Camera-ready (for electronic pre-proceedings): August 15, 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.

CiaoPP
by Gavin Mendel-Gleason 09 Jun '18

09 Jun '18

Hello all, I saw a similar message about a missing CiaoPP earlier in the mailing list archive, but haven't seen a solution to it. I've installed through a few different pathways, including using the debian package: ciaode_1.15-1781.g328b907_i386.deb And attempting to build from source off of the github repository. In either case I'm able to get ciao running in emacs but I get the error: "no such file or directory, ciaopp" in emacs. Sure enough, there is no file named ciaopp in the package whatsoever. The other files in /usr/bin/ciao* appear to be calls to the ciaoengine with some byte code, so perhaps somehow the file just didn't make it into the debian installation? But that still doesn't explain how it didn't show up in my git build from source... Your truly confused, Gavin Mendel-Gleason

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.

Calling into Ciao from C main function
by James Keefe 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

I am interested in calling into Ciao code from a C main() function (NOT calling into C from ciao code). I looked through documentation but could not find clear instructions on how to do this. This would need to involve probably initializing ciao VM from C and using Ciao VM C API to evaluate code from a C string, and calling into Ciao's namespace with symbol names using C API .
