                         Call for Papers

  26th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative 
Languages
                           (PADL 2024)

               https://popl24.sigplan.org/home/PADL-2024

              London, United Kingdom, January 15-16, 2024

                    Co-located with ACM POPL 2024

Conference Description
----------------------

Declarative languages comprise several well-established classes of
formalisms, namely, functional, logic, and constraint programming.
Such formalisms enjoy both sound theoretical bases and the
availability of attractive frameworks for application development.
Indeed, they have been already successfully applied to many different
real-world situations, ranging from database management to active
networks to software engineering to decision support systems.

New developments in theory and implementation fostered applications in
new areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages to
novel and challenging problems raise many interesting research issues,
including designing for scalability, language extensions for
application deployment, and programming environments. Thus,
applications drive the progress in the theory and implementation of
declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well.

PADL is a well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to
present original work emphasizing novel applications and
implementation techniques for all forms of declarative programming,
including functional and logic programming, database and constraint
programming, and theorem proving.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Innovative applications of declarative languages
- Declarative domain-specific languages and applications
- Practical applications of theoretical results
- New language developments and their impact on applications
- Declarative languages and software engineering
- Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications
- Practical experiences and industrial applications
- Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom
- Practical extensions such as constraint-based, probabilistic,
  and reactive languages

PADL 2024 especially welcomes new ideas and approaches related to
applications, design and implementation of declarative languages going
beyond the scope of the past PADL symposia, for example, advanced
database languages and contract languages, as well as verification and
theorem proving methods that rely on declarative languages.


Submissions
-----------

PADL 2024 welcomes three kinds of submission:

* Technical papers (max. 15 pages):
  Technical papers must describe original, previously unpublished
  research results.

* Application papers (max. 8 pages):
  Application papers are a mechanism to present important practical
  applications of declarative languages that occur in industry or in
  areas of research other than Computer Science. Application papers
  are expected to describe complex and/or real-world applications that
  rely on an innovative use of declarative languages. Application
  descriptions, engineering solutions and real-world experiences (both
  positive and negative) are solicited.

* Extended abstracts (max. 3 pages):
  Describing new ideas, a new perspective on already published work,
  or work-in-progress that is not yet ready for a full
  publication. Extended abstracts will be posted on the symposium
  website but will not be published in the formal proceedings.

All page limits exclude references. Submissions must be written in English
and formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style, see
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the
manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their reports. So, for
LaTeX, we recommend that authors use:

  \pagestyle{plain}
  \usepackage{lineno}
  \linenumbers

The conference proceedings of PADL 2024 will be published by
Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published
workshops proceedings may be submitted but the authors should notify
the program chairs where it has previously appeared.

Papers should be submitted electronically at
https://padl2024.hotcrp.com


Important Dates
---------------

Paper submission:    October 5, 2023 (AoE)
Notification:        November 9, 2023
Symposium:           January 15-16, 2024


Distinguished Papers
--------------------

The authors of a small number of distinguished papers will be invited
to submit a longer version for journal publication after the
symposium. For papers related to logic programming, that will be in
the journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP)
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-programming,
and for papers related to functional programming, in Journal of
Functional Programming (JFP)
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-functional-programming.
The extended journal submissions should be substantially (roughly 30%)
extended: explanations for which there was no space, illuminating examples
and proofs, additional definitions and theorems, further experimental
results, implementational details and feedback from
practical/engineering use, extended discussion of related work, and so
on. These submissions will then be subject to the usual peer review
process by the journal, although with the aim of a swifter review
process by reusing original reviews from PADL.
