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 Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions).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

FINAL Call For Papers and DEADLINE EXTENSION: FLOPS 2018: 14th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming
by John Patrick Gallagher 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

FINAL Call For Papers ========================= NOTE: DEADLINE EXTENSION ========================= FLOPS 2018: 14th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming In-Cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN =============================== 9-11 May, 2018, Nagoya, Japan http://www.sqlab.jp/FLOPS2018/ Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of programming. The alternative, being used increasingly in practice, is to start by writing down the desired properties of the result. The computational steps are then (semi-)automatically derived from these higher-level specifications. Examples of this declarative style include functional and logic programming, program transformation and re-writing, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness. FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and implementors of the declarative programming, to discuss mutually interesting results and common problems: theoretical advances, their implementations in language systems and tools, and applications of these systems in practice. The scope includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and teaching of declarative programming. FLOPS specifically aims to promote cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among different styles of declarative programming. Scope FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of the declarative programming: * functional, logic, functional-logic programming, re-writing systems, formal methods and model checking, program transformations and program refinements, developing programs with the help of theorem provers or SAT/SMT solvers; * foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation techniques, memory management, run-time systems), applications and case studies. FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of declarative programming. Therefore, submissions must be written to be understandable by the wide audience of declarative programmers and researchers. Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls are especially encouraged. Submissions should fall into one of the following categories: * Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be judged on originality, correctness, and significance. * System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design. * Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or theories with illustrative applications. System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked as such in the title. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. See also ACM SIGPLAN Republication Policy. Proceedings The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, as a printed volume as well as online in the digital library SpringerLink. Post-proceedings: The authors of 4-7 best papers will be invited to submit the extended version of their FLOPS paper to a special issue of the journal Science of Computer Programming (SCP). Important dates 29 November 2017 (any time zone): Abstract Submission (extended) 4 December 2017 (any time zone): Submission deadline (extended) 29 January 2018: Author notification 9-11 May 2018: FLOPS Symposium Invited Speakers William E. Byrd, University of Utah, USA Zhenjiang Hu, National Institute of Informatics, SOKENDAI, Japan + 3rd speaker to be announced Submission Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages long including references, though pearls are typically shorter. The formatting has to conform to Springer's guidelines. Regular research papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made accessible otherwise (e.g., a link to a Web page, or an appendix). Papers should be submitted electronically at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flops2018 Springer Guidelines https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… Program Committee Andreas Rossberg Google, Germany Atsushi Ohori Tohoku University, Japan Bruno C.
