               WLPE 2012 - CALL FOR PAPERS

            Workshop on Logic-based Methods in
                  Programming Environments

             (satellite workshop of ICLP 2012)

                     September 8, 2012
                     Budapest, Hungary

-----------------------------------------------------------

The workshop aims at providing an informal meeting for researchers
working on logic-based tools for development and analysis of programs.
In addition to papers describing more conceptual work on environmental
tools, we solicit papers describing the implementation of and
experimentation with such tools.

We hope to attain the same friendly atmosphere as in past workshops, which
enabled fruitful exchanges leading to joint research and subsequent
publications.

Areas particularly relevant to the workshop include:

  * static and dynamic analysis
  * debugging and testing
  * program verification and validation
  * code generation from specifications
  * termination and non-termination analysis
  * reasoning on occurs-check freeness and determinacy
  * frameworks and resources for sharing in the logic programming community
  * profiling and performance analysis
  * type- and mode analysis
  * shape, point-to and escape analysis
  * module systems
  * optimization tools
  * program understanding
  * refactoring
  * logical meta-languages

Note that this list is not exhaustive and, if you are interested in
taking part in the workshop but unsure if your work falls within its
scope, do contact the organisers who will be happy to advise.

The 22nd Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments
will take place in Budapest, Hungary, as a satellite workshop
of ICLP 2012, the 28the International Conference on Logic Programming.
This workshop will continue the series of successful international
workshops on logic programming environments held in Ohio, USA (1989),
Eilat, Israel (1990), Paris, France (1991), Washington, USA (1992),
Vancouver, Canada (1993), Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy (1994),
Portland, USA (1995), Leuven, Belgium and Port Jefferson, USA (1997),
Las Cruces, USA (1999), Paphos, Cyprus (2001), Copenhagen, Denmark
(2002), Mumbai, India (2003), Saint Malo, France (2004), Sitges,
Spain (2005), Seattle, Washington USA (2006), Porto, Portugal (2007),
Udine, Italy (2008), Pasadena, USA (2009), Edinburgh, UK (2010), and
Odense, Denmark (2011).

This year WLPE will be coordinated with CICLOPS. In particular, there will
be two special events organised: (a) SWI-25, a celebration and
retrospective of the open source SWI-Prolog engine on the occasion of
its 25th birthday, and (b) OpenPL, an event on (1) coordinating
efforts towards furthering cross-engine compatibility, with a focus on
libraries and add-on packages, and (2) the creation of a user-contributing
repository of Prolog code.

Submission guidelines
---------------------

We encourage the submission of original research in the area as well as
relevant results that have been submitted, rejected, or accepted elsewhere
as long as they are relevant for the WLPE community.

All papers must be written in English and should not exceed 15 pages. We
welcome also shorter submissions, e.g., extended abstracts and short
papers, of at least 3 pages.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission page:

     https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wlpe2012

An informal proceedings will be distributed electronically at the workshop.
After the workshop, the proceedings will be publicly available on-line in
the Computing Research Repository (CoRR).
