CALL FOR PAPERS

FLOPS 2004

The Seventh International Symposium on
Functional and Logic Programming


Nara, Japan
April 7-9, 2004


The symposium is a forum for research on all issues concerning functional programming and logic programming. In particular, it wants to stimulate the cross-fertilization as well as integration of the two paradigms. The symposium takes place about every 1.5 years in Japan. Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji Susuno (1995), Shonan Village (1996), Kyoto (1998), Tsukuba (1999), Tokyo (2001), and Aizu (2002).
 

Topics

The Seventh International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming solicits original papers in all areas of functional and logic programming, including (but not limited to):
  • Declarative Pearls: new and excellent declarative programs with illustrative applications

  • Language issues: language design and constructs, programming methodology, integration of paradigms, interfacing with other languages, type systems, constraints, concurrency and distributed computing

  • Foundations: logic and semantics, rewrite systems and narrowing, type theory, proof systems

  • Implementation issues: compilation techniques, memory management, program analysis and transformation, partial evaluation, parallelism

  • Applications: case studies, real-world applications, graphical user interfaces, internet applications, database connection, formal methods and model checking

Submission

Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:

  1. Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be judged on originality, correctness and significance.
  2. System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness and design.
All submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 proceedings pages long. Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e and the Springer llncs class file, available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

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).

Submission is Web-based. In order to submit a paper, authors should fill in the submission form available at http://logic.is.tsukuba.ac.jp/FLOPS2004/submission.html where more detailed instructions are given.

Publication and presentation of accepted contributions

The Proceedings of FLOPS 2004 will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. LNCS is published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic version and final versions of the papers will need to be provided electronically including the source files. Proceedings will be available at the conference. One author of each accepted contribution is expected to attend the Symposium in order to present it.
