CALL FOR PAPERS

CLPSE 2009 4th International Workshop on (Constraint) Logic Programming and Software Engineering July, 2009 Satellite event of ICLP 2009, Pasadena, California, USA

http://logtalk.org/workshops/clpse2009/

Topics of interest ==================

This workshop aims at discussing and exchanging experience in software engineering topics related to developing, documenting, testing, porting, evaluating, and maintaining large-scale (constraint) logic programming applications. Experience backed up by industrial applications and their evaluation will be given preference, as well as descriptions of work in progress in that direction.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

* Experiences in developing and maintaining large-scale logic programming applications. * Experiences in porting applications. * Development of portable libraries and code reuse. * Integrated development environments for logic programming. * Multi-paradigm applications. * Embedded logic programming applications. * Security issues in logic programming applications. * Processes and software design methodologies. * Design patterns in logic programming development. * Metrics for logic programming development and applications. * Implementation of domain specific languages. * Software specification and automatic software generation. * Rapid industrial prototyping using logic programming. * Logic programming in network and infrastructure services. * Logic programming based service oriented architectures. * Logic programming in enterprise architectures. * Integrating logic programming and databases. * Systems interoperability using logic programming. * Legacy re-engineering using logic programming. * Implementing complex business rules using logic programming.

Authors who are interested in taking part in the workshop, but are unsure if their work falls within its scope, are invited to contact the workshop coordinators.

Workshop Goals ==============

Our intent is to bring together, in an informal setting, people involved both in research and in industrial work. We hope that the workshop will provide a meeting point for people working on software engineering topics in the context of large-scale (constraint) logic programming applications.

History =======

This workshop continues a tradition of successful workshops on (Constraint) Logic Programming and Software Engineering, previously held in London (2000), Paphos (2001), and Copenhagen (2002).

Submission Information ======================

Authors are invited to submit regular papers, position papers, or short papers written in English and formatted using the LNCS LaTeX style (http://www.springeronline.com/lncs/). Regular papers should not exceed 15 pages. Position papers and short papers should not exceed 5 pages.

Regular papers should describe original unpublished research or industrial work relevant to the topics of the workshop. Position papers should present new ideas, vision statements, new research directions, or advocate out-of-the-box approaches to know problems. Short papers can be used to describe ongoing work, research project overviews, talk abstracts, or application notes.

Paper submission is performed through EasyChair using the URL http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clpse2009.

At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and attend the workshop to present the paper. Regular papers and position papers will be presented and discussed in time slots of 20+10 minutes. Short papers will be presented and discussed in time slots of 10+5 minutes.

Important Dates ===============

Submission deadline: April 6 Notification of authors: May 18 Camera-ready copy due: June 1 Workshop: TBA
