[pept:98] LOPSTR'02 - Call For Papers



---------------------------------------------------
             International Workshop on
Logic Based Program Development and Transformation
                    LOPSTR'02
             18 - 20 September 2002
---------------------------------------------------
               CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------------------------
       http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/LOPSTR02/
---------------------------------------------------
     Deadline for full papers:  16 June 2002
     Deadline for short papers: 30 June 2002
---------------------------------------------------

  The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international
  research and collaboration on logic-based program development, and the
  workshop is open to contributions in logic-based program development in
  any language paradigm.

  LOPSTR'02 will be held at the Technical University of Madrid,
  co-located with International Static Analysis Symposium" (SAS'02) and
  APPIA-GULP-PRODE Joint Conference on Declarative Programming (AGP'02).
  Past workshops were held in Manchester, UK (1991, 1992, 1998),
  Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium (1993), Pisa, Italy (1994), Arnhem, the
  Netherlands (1995), Stockholm, Sweden (1996), Leuven, Belgium (1997),
  Venice, Italy (1999), London, UK (2000), Paphos, Cyprus (2001). Since
  1994 the proceedings have been published in the LNCS series of
  Springer-Verlag.

  LOPSTR also aims to be a lively, friendly forum for presenting and
  discussing work in progress, so it is a real workshop in the sense that
  it is also intended to provide useful feedback to authors on their
  preliminary research. Formal proceedings of the workshop are produced
  only after the workshop, so that authors can incorporate this feedback
  in the published papers.


  Scope of the Workshop

  We solicit full papers as well as extended abstracts describing work in
  progress. 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.

  The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics:
  *    specification
  *    synthesis
  *    verification
  *    transformation
  *    specialisation
  *    analysis
  *    composition
  *    reuse
  *    optimisation
  *    applications and tools
  *    component-based software development
  *    agent-based software development
  *    software architectures
  *    design patterns and frameworks
  *    program refinement and logics for refinement
  *    proofs as programs


  Submission Guidelines

  *    Authors can either submit extended abstracts describing work
  in progress or they can choose to submit full papers.

  Contributions should be written in English and should be submitted
  electronically in Postscript or PDF format to the program chairman
  at the following email address:  mal@ecs.soton.ac.uk.
  Prospective authors who have difficulties for the electronic submission
  may contact the chairman.

  *    Extended abstracts should not exceed 6 pages in llncs format and
  may describe work in progress. Promising abstracts relevant to the
  scope of LOPSTR will be selected for presentation at the workshop. The
  submission deadline for extended abstracts is
              June 30, 2002.
  *    Full papers should not exceed 16 pages (including references) in
  llncs format. The submission deadline is
              June 16, 2002.
  These papers will be judged using ordinary conference quality criteria
  and accepted papers will have to be presented at the workshop and will
  automatically appear in the pre-proceedings as well as in the final
  collection of papers.

  *    In both cases the notification of acceptance or rejection will be
  sent by  July 15, 2002. Accepted papers and abstracts will be
  collected in informal pre-proceedings which will be available at
  the workshop.

  *    After the workshop, authors of extended abstract which are judged
  mature for publication will be invited to submit full papers. These
  will be reviewed according to the usual refereeing procedures, and
  accepted papers will be published in a final collection of papers
  which are expected to be published in the
        Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer-Verlag.
  All the full papers accepted before the workshop will automatically
  appear in that book as well; there will be no additional refereeing
  (although authors will be given a chance to revise their paper, if
  they so wish, based upon the feedback from the LOPSTR event).
