			PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

   Tenth International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming
			     (FLOPS 2010)
			  April 19-21, 2010
			    Sendai, Japan

               http://www.kb.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp/flops2010

		Submission deadline: October 16, 2009

   FLOPS is a forum for research on all issues concerning declarative
   programming, including functional programming and logic programming,
   and aims to promote cross-fertilization and integration between the
   two paradigms.  Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji Susono
   (1995), Shonan Village (1996), Kyoto (1998), Tsukuba (1999), Tokyo
   (2001), Aizu (2002), Nara (2004), Fuji Susono (2006), and Ise
   (2008).

TOPICS

   FLOPS 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, XML, databases, formal
     methods and model checking.

   The proceedings are expected to be published as an LNCS volume.  The
   proceedings of the previous meeting (FLOPS 2008) were published as
   LNCS 4989.

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   Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication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 Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally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:

     Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will
     be judged on originality, correctness, and significance.

     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). Papers should be submitted electronically
   at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flops2010
