About PPDP
----------

The PPDP symposium brings together researchers from the declarative 
programming communities, including those working in the functional, 
logic, answer-set, and constraint handling programming paradigms. The 
goal is to stimulate research in the use of logical formalisms and 
methods for analyzing, performing, specifying, and reasoning about 
computations, including mechanisms for concurrency, security, static 
analysis, and verification.


Scope
-----

Submissions are invited on all topics related to declarative 
programming, from principles to practice, from foundations to 
applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

- Language Design: domain-specific languages; interoperability; 
concurrency, parallelism and distribution; modules; functional 
languages; reactive languages; languages with objects; languages for 
quantum computing; languages inspired by biological and chemical 
computation; metaprogramming.

- Declarative languages in artificial intelligence: logic programming; 
database languages; knowledge representation languages; probabilistic 
languages; differentiable languages.

- Implementations: abstract machines; interpreters; compilation; 
compile-time and run-time optimization; memory management.

- Foundations: types; logical frameworks; monads and effects; semantics.

- Analysis and Transformation: partial evaluation; abstract 
interpretation; control flow; data flow; information flow; termination 
analysis; resource analysis; type inference and type checking; 
verification; validation; debugging; testing.

- Tools and Applications: programming and proof environments; 
verification tools; case studies in proof assistants or interactive 
theorem provers; certification; novel applications of declarative 
programming inside and outside of CS; declarative programming pearls; 
practical experience reports and industrial application; education.

The PC chair will be happy to advise on the appropriateness of a topic.

Submission Categories
---------------------

For the moment, PPDP 2023 has received ACM In-Cooperation Status. The 
exact form of the proceedings will be communicated in the forthcoming 
call for papers.

Submissions can be made in three categories:

- Research Papers,
- System Descriptions,
- Experience Reports.

Submissions of Research Papers must present original research which is 
unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. They must not exceed 12 pages 
(including figures, but excluding bibliography). Work that already 
appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may 
be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). 
Research papers will be judged on originality, significance, 
correctness, clarity, and readability.

Submission of System Descriptions must describe a working system whose 
description has not been published or submitted elsewhere. They must not 
exceed 10 pages (including figures, but excluding bibliography) and 
should contain a link to a working system. System Descriptions must be 
marked as such at the time of submission and will be judged on 
originality, significance, usefulness, clarity, and readability.

Submissions of Experience Reports are meant to help create a body of 
published, refereed, citable evidence where declarative programming such 
as functional, logic, answer-set, constraint programming, etc., is used 
in practice. They must not exceed 5 pages including references. 
Experience Reports must be marked as such at the time of submission and 
need not report original research results. They will be judged on 
significance, usefulness, clarity, and readability.

Supplementary material may be provided via a link to an extended version 
of the submission (recommended), or in clearly marked appendices beyond 
the above-mentioned page limits. Reviewers are not required to read 
extended versions or any material beyond the respective page limit.
