 Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming

NEWS

 * Due date for paper submission approaching: April 3, 2011
 * Invited speaker announced: Ras Bodik, UC Berkeley, USA


AAIP 2011 is co-located with the
 * the International ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of
   Declarative Programming (PPDP 2011),
 * the International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and
   Transformation (LOPSTR 2011), and
 * the Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming (WFLP 2011)


AIMS AND SCOPE

Inductive program synthesis or inductive programming (IP) is concerned with the
automated generation of (parts of) computer programs from incomplete
specifications such as input/output examples. IP particularly includes the
synthesis of programs that contain loops or recursive calls. This inductive
type of automated program synthesis is addressed by researchers in different
fields such as artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, inductive
inference, formal methods, functional programming, and inductive logic
programming. The aim of the AAIP workshop is to have a common place to present
and discuss research on all aspects of inductive programming - including, but
not limited to: Inductive programming algorithms, techniques, and systems,
heuristics, inductive biases, analysis of the learnability of particular
program classes, and the integration of different techniques. We especially
encourage submissions on relevant challenge problems and on real-world
applications of inductive programming in, e.g., computer-assisted software
development, end-user programming, and intelligent agents.

This is the fourth workshop on "Approaches and Applications of Inductive
Programming" and takes place for the first time in conjunction with PPDP and
LOPSTR.

We invite authors to submit papers reporting on original work in either of two
categories: full technical papers and short papers. Full papers should present
mature work. Short papers may be work in progress reports, descriptions of
system demonstrations, or position statements.

INVITED SPEAKER

Ras Bodik, University of California, Berkeley, USA

PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION

All accepted papers will be presented orally. Workshop (pre-)proceedings will
be published online and as a technical report. Furthermore, we plan to publish
selected and revised papers as a formal post-proceedings volume, most likely
in the Springer LNCS series.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submitted papers must describe original work, be written in English and should
be formatted in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science style:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Submissions can either be full papers describing mature work or short papers
describing work in progress, a system demonstration, or make a position
statement. Full and short papers should not exceed 16 and 8 pages,
respectively, including bibliography and appendices. Papers should be submitted
as PDF via the AAIP 2011 submission webpage:
