Call For Papers
FLOPS 2024: 17th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming
============================================================

May 15-17, 2024, Kumamoto, Japan
https://conf.researchr.org/home/flops-2024


FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and implementers of 
declarative programming, to discuss mutually interesting results and common 
problems: theoretical advances, their implementations in language systems and 
tools, and applications of these systems in practice. The scope includes all 
aspects of the design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and 
teaching of declarative programming. FLOPS specifically aims to promote 
cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among different styles of 
declarative programming.

Previous FLOPS meetings were held at Fuji Susono (1995), Shonan Village 
(1996), Kyoto (1998), Tsukuba (1999), Tokyo (2001), Aizu (2002), Nara (2004), 
Fuji Susono (2006), Ise (2008), Sendai (2010), Kobe (2012), Kanazawa (2014), 
Kochi (2016), Nagoya (2018), Akita (2020, online), and Kyoto (2022, online).


*** Scope ***

FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of declarative programming:

* functional, logic, functional-logic programming, rewriting systems, formal 
methods and model checking, program transformations and program refinements, 
developing programs with the help of theorem provers or SAT/SMT solvers, 
verifying properties of programs using declarative programming techniques;

* foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation 
techniques, memory management, run-time systems, etc.), applications and case 
studies.

FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of declarative 
programming. Therefore, research papers must be written to be understandable 
by a wide audience of declarative programmers and researchers. In particular, 
each submission should explain its contributions in both general and 
technical terms, clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining 
why it is significant for its area, and comparing it with previous work. 
Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls are especially 
encouraged.


*** Submission ***

Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:

* Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be 
judged on originality, correctness, and significance.

* System descriptions: they should describe a working system and will be 
judged on originality, usefulness, and design.

* Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or theories with 
illustrative applications.

System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked as such 
in the title. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for 
publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or 
informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. Submissions must 
be written in English and can be up to 15 pages excluding references, though 
system descriptions and pearls are typically shorter. The formatting has to 
conform to Springer’s LNCS guidelines. FLOPS 2024 will employ a lightweight 
double-blind reviewing process.

*** Publication ***

The proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. We expect 
to invite the authors of a selection of the best papers to submit an extended 
version of their FLOPS paper to a special issue which will appear in the 
journal Science of Computer Programming.


*** Important Dates ***

All deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (AoE = UTC-12).

* Abstract due: Wed 6th Dec 2023
* Submission deadline: Wed 13th Dec 2023
* Notifications: Wed 31st Jan 2024
* Final versions due: Wed 28th Feb 2024
