Objectives:
The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote
international
research and collaboration on logic-based program development.
LOPSTR is open
to contributions in logic-based program development in any language
paradigm.
LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively, friendly forum for
presenting and
discussing work in progress. Formal proceedings are produced only
after the
symposium, so authors can incorporate this feedback in the published
papers.
Topics:
Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program
development, all
stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both programming-in-
the-small
and programming-in-the-large. Papers describing applications in these
areas are
especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of
logic-based
program development, including, but not limited to:
specification synthesis
verification transformation
analysis optimisation
composition security
reuse applications and tools
component-based software development software architectures
agent-based software development program refinement
Survey papers, that present some aspect of the above topics
from a new
perspective, and application papers, that describe experience with
industrial
applications, are also welcome. 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 or a
conference with refereed proceedings.
Submission information and Special Issue:
Submissions can either be (short) extended abstracts or (full)
papers whose
length should not exceed 9 and 15 pages respectively.
Submissions must be
formatted in LNCS style (excluding bibliography and well-marked
appendices not
intended for publication). Referees are not required to read the
appendices, and
thus papers should be intelligible without them.
After the symposium, the programme committee will select those
papers to be
considered for formal publication. These authors will be invited to
revise their
submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the meeting.
Then after
another round of reviewing, these revised papers will be published by
Springer-
Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
The very best papers will additionally be invited to submit for a
special issue
or special track of the journal Higher-Order and Symbolic
Computation, provided
there are sufficient high-quality submissions.
Papers should be submitted either in PostScript or PDF format and they
should be
interpretable by Ghostscript or Acrobat Reader.
