DEADLINE EXTENSION Due to several requests we have decided to extend the deadline for submission to PADL'00 (see call for papers enclosed below) to August 20th, 1999. - Vitor Santos Costa and Enrico Pontelli. ____________________________________________________ Our Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Second International Workshop on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL'00) Boston, Massachusets Jan. 17-18, 2000, http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~complog/conferences/padl00 (Co-located with POPL 2000) Sponsored by COMPULOG AMERICAS _______________ Declarative languages build on sound theoretical basis to provide attractive frameworks for application development. Indeed, these languages have been successfully applied to vastly different real-world situations, ranging from data base management to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems, to mention a few examples. The major strength of declarative languages lies in the way work on efficient implementation has allowed programmers to take advantage of their strong theorical foundations. In fact, new developments in theory and implementation often open up new application areas. On the other hand, as declarative languages are applied to novel problems, a number of interesting research issues arise. Well-known such questions include designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications are both a cause for and benefit from progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems. The PADL series of workshops aims at providing a forum where researchers, practitioners, and implementors of declarative languages may exchange ideas on current and novel application areas and on the requirements for effective deployment of declarative systems. Thus, we invite papers dealing with practical applications of newly discovered results and techniques in logic, constraint, and functional programming. Papers dealing with practical applications of theoretical results, new implementation techniques, or innovative applications are particularly welcome. Position papers as well as papers that present work-in-progress are also welcome. PADL'00 builds on the success of PADL'99, held in San Antonio, TX (the proceedings appeared as Springer Verlag LNCS 1551). Scope of PADL includes, but is not limited to: 1. Innovative Applications 2. Practical Applications of Theoretical Results 3. Declarative Languages and the Internet 4. Declarative Languages and Software Engineering 5. Declarative Languages and Software Enabled Control 6. Deductive Database Systems 7. Specification and Verification 8. Practical Experiences 9. Innovative Implementation/Compilation Techniques (especially to support applications) Submission of Papers: Authors may submit an electronic copy of the full paper, in English, to the email address below (preferred), or submit six copies of the paper to the postal address below. The paper should reach by Aug 9th. Papers must be no longer than 15 pages, written in 12 point font and with single spacing. Each copy of the submission must include on an extra sheet: 1. the paper title and the names and affiliations of all authors as they should appear in the advance program, should the paper be accepted; 2. an abstract; 3. three to four keywords 4. contact information: postal address(es), telephone number(s), fax number(s) (if available), email address(es). Each paper will be reviewed. Authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection by September 15th. Camera ready copies will be due by October 1st. Proceedings will be published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer Verlag.
