LAST CALL FOR PAPERS

Ninth International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages 2007 (PADL '07)

http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~mh/padl07

Nice, France January 14-15, 2007

Co-located with ACM POPL'07

======================================================================

Declarative languages build on sound theoretical foundations to provide attractive frameworks for application development. These languages have been successfully applied to a wide array of different real-world situations, including database management, active networks, software engineering, web applications, decision support systems, or music composition.

New developments in theory and implementation have opened up new application areas. At the same time, the application of declarative languages to novel problems raises numerous interesting research issues. Well-known questions include designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications often drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well.

PADL is a forum for researchers and practioners to present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative concepts, including, functional, logic, constraints, etc. Topics of interest include:

* innovative applications of declarative languages; * declarative domain-specific languages and applications; * practical applications of theoretical results; * new language developments and their impact on applications; * evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications; * novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom; and * practical experiences

PADL 07 welcomes new ideas and approaches pertaining to applications and implementation of declarative languages, and is not limited to the scope of the past eight PADL symposia.

PADL 07 will be co-located with the ACM POPL.

Papers must be no longer than 15 pages, written in 11-point font and with single spacing. Since the final proceedings will be published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer Verlag, submissions should adhere to the LNCS paper formatting guidelines.

Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; authors and their affiliations; contact author's email and postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers, abstract, and three to four keywords. The keywords will be used to assist us in selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. If electronic submission is impossible, please contact the program chair for information on how to submit hard copies.
