Call for papers
International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation
LOPSTR 2007
22-24 August 2007, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark
(co-located with SAS 2007)

Objectives:
The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international
research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR is
open to contributions in logic-based program development in any language
paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively, friendly forum for
presenting and discussing work in progress. Formal proceedings are produced
only after the symposium, so authors can incorporate this feedback in the
published papers.
Topics:
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. Papers describing applications in these areas
are
especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of
logic-based
program development, including, but not limited to:
specification synthesis
verification transformation
analysis optimisation
composition security
reuse applications and tools
component-based software development software architectures
agent-based software development program refinement
Survey papers, that present some aspect of the above topics from a new
perspective, and application papers, that describe experience with
industrial applications, are also welcome. Papers must describe original work,
be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with
papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with refereed proceedings.
Submission information and Special Issue:
Submissions can either be (short) extended abstracts or (full) papers whose
length should not exceed 9 and 15 pages respectively. Submissions must be
formatted in LNCS style (excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices
not intended for publication). Referees are not required to read the
appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them.
After the symposium, the programme committee will select those papers to
be considered for formal publication. These authors will be invited to revise
their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the meeting.
Then after another round of reviewing, these revised papers will be published
by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
The very best papers will additionally be invited to submit for a special
issue or special track of the journal Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation,
provided there are sufficient high-quality submissions.
Papers should be submitted either in PostScript or PDF format and they should
be interpretable by Ghostscript or Acrobat Reader.
