OVERVIEW<br>
<br>
The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote
international<br>
research and collaboration on logic-based program development.
LOPSTR<br>
is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any<br>
programming language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a
<br>
lively, friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in
progress.<br>
<br>
LOPSTR 2024 will be held at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy
and,<br>
as part of FM 2024, will be co-located with PPDP 2024, FACS 2024,
<br>
FMICS 2024, and TAP 2024. At least one of the authors of an
accepted <br>
paper is expected to attend the conference and present the paper.
<br>
Information about venue and travel will be available on the FM
2024 <br>
website.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest include all aspects of logic-based program <br>
development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of
both <br>
programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large, including,
but<br>
not limited to:<br>
<br>
- synthesis<br>
- transformation<br>
- specialization<br>
- inversion<br>
- composition<br>
- optimisation<br>
- specification<br>
- analysis and verification<br>
- testing and certification<br>
- program and model manipulation<br>
- AI methods for program development<br>
- verification and testing of AI-based systems<br>
- transformational techniques in software engineering<br>
- logic-based methods for security <br>
- logic-based methods for cyber-physical and distributed systems<br>
- applications, tools and industrial practice<br>
<br>
Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a
new<br>
perspective and papers that describe experience with industrial<br>
applications and case studies are also welcome.<br>
<br>
PAPER SUBMISSION<br>
<br>
Submissions can be made in two categories:<br>
<br>
- Regular Papers (15 pages max.)<br>
- Short Papers (8 pages max.)<br>
<br>
References will NOT count towards the page limit. Additional pages
may<br>
be used for appendices not intended for publication. Reviewers are
not<br>
required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be
intelligible<br>
without them. All submissions must be written in English.<br>
<br>
Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers/tools that
have<br>
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,<br>
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings.<br>
<br>
Submissions of Regular Papers must describe original work. Work
that <br>
already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop<br>
proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC Chairs in case
of<br>
questions). <br>
<br>
Submissions of Short Papers may include presentations of exciting
if<br>
not fully polished research and tool demonstrations that are of<br>
academic and industrial interest. Tool demonstrations should
describe<br>
the relevant system, usability, and implementation aspects of a
tool.<br>
<br>
All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings
and<br>
published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS)<br>
volume.<br>
<br>
After the symposium, a selection of a few best papers will be
invited<br>
for submission to rapid publication in the Journal of Theory and<br>
Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP). Authors of selected papers
will<br>
be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions to be
considered<br>
for publication. The papers submitted to TPLP will be subject to
the<br>
standard reviewing process of the journal.<br>
<br>
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES<br>
<br>
Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in<br>
English) in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science<br>
style. Each submission must include on its first page the paper
title;<br>
authors and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract;
and<br>
three to four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in<br>
selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Authors should
consult<br>
Springer's authors' instructions at the author's page, and use
their<br>
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX (available also in
overleaf)<br>
or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer
encourages<br>
authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, upon<br>
acceptance, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on
behalf<br>
of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a<br>
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the<br>
copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the<br>
paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating
to<br>
the authorship of the papers cannot be made.<br>
<br>
Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the<br>
manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. So, for<br>
LaTeX, we recommend that authors use:<br>
<br>
\pagestyle{plain}<br>
\usepackage{lineno}<br>
\linenumbers<br>
<br>
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair:<br>
