They must not exceed 12 pages ACM sigconf style, 2-column (including figures, but excluding bibliography). See below for further formatting instructions. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions).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.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Submission of System Descriptions must describe a working system whose description has not been published or submitted elsewhere. They must not exceed 10 pages 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.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">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.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Supplementary material may be provided via a link to an extended version of the submission (recommended), or in a clearly marked appendix beyond the above-mentioned page limits.

You must use the LaTeX sigconf proceedings template as the conference organizers are unable to process final submissions in other formats. In case of problems with the templates, please contact ACM's TeX support team at Aptara. Authors should note ACM's statement on author's rights which apply to final papers. Submitted papers should meet the requirements of ACM's plagiarism policy. Final publication will follow the new ACM Primary Article TAPS Publication Workflow.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Invited Speakers</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">----------------</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Niki Vazou, IMDEA</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Florian Zuleger, Technische Universität Wien</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Program Committee</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">-----------------</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Beniamino Accattoli, Inria & LIX École Polytechnique, France (co-chair)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Manuel Hermenegildo, IMDEA Software Institute and Technical U. of Madrid, Spain (co-chair)</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Salvador Abreu, NOVA LINCS / University of Evora, Portugal</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">David Baelde, ENS Rennes, IRISA, France</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Pierre-Evariste Dagand, IRIF -
