                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                               PPDP 2011
               13th International ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on
            Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming
             http://www-ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/ppdp11/
                  July 20-22, 2011, Odense, Denmark

     (in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN, co-located with LOPSTR 2011)
======================================================================

PPDP 2011 aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers
from the declarative programming communities, including those working
in the logic, constraint and functional programming paradigms, but
also embracing a variety of other paradigms such as visual
programming, executable specification languages, database languages,
AI languages and knowledge representation languages used, for example,
in the semantic web. The goal is to stimulate research in the use of
logical formalisms and methods for specifying, performing, and
analyzing computations, including mechanisms for mobility, modularity,
concurrency, object-orientation, security, and static analysis. Papers
related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools in industry and
education are especially solicited.

The conference will held in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN
and take place in July 2011 in Odense, Denmark, co-located
with the 21st International Symposium on Logic-Based Program
Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2011).

TOPICS:
- Logic, Constraint, and Functional Programming
- Database, AI and Knowledge Representation Languages
- Visual Programming
- Executable Specification Languages
- Applications of Declarative Programming
- Methodologies: Program Design and Development
- Declarative Aspects of Object-Oriented Programming
- Concurrent Extensions to Declarative Languages
- Declarative Mobile Computing
- Integration of Paradigms
- Proof Theoretic and Semantic Foundations
- Type and Module Systems
- Program Analysis and Verification
- Program Transformation
- Abstract Machines and Compilation
- Programming Environments
This list is not exhaustive - submissions describing  new and
interesting ideas relating broadly to declarative programming are
encouraged.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract submission:   March 8, 2011
Paper submission:      March 15, 2011
Notification:          April 19, 2011
Camera-ready version:  May 12, 2011
Symposium:             July 20-22, 2011

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Papers should be submitted via the submission website for PPDP 2011:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ppdp11
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,
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already
appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings
may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions).
Papers should consist of the equivalent of 12 pages under the
ACM formatting guidelines. These guidelines are available online,
along with formatting templates or style files.
Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance,
relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. They should include
a clear identification of what has been accomplished and why it is
significant. Authors who wish to provide additional material to the
reviewers beyond the 12-page limit can do so in clearly marked
appendices: reviewers are not required to read such appendices.

PROCEEDINGS:
The proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted
papers will be required to sign a copyright form.
