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 chairs will be happy to advise on the appropriateness of a topic.

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

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unpublished and not submitted elsewhere.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
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that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop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.

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.

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 a clearly marked
appendix beyond the above-mentioned page limits. Reviewers are not
required to study extended versions or any material beyond the
respective page limit.

Format of a submission:
For each paper category, you must follow the instructions of the new
ACM Primary Article Templates. 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.
