CALL FOR PAPERS
WCFLP 2005
International Workshop on Curry and Functional Logic Programming
An ACM SIGPLAN sponsored workshop at ICFP 2005
Tallinn, Estonia September 29, 2005
WWW:
http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~mh/wcflp2005
======================================================================
The integration of functional and logic programming has been
extensively studied during the last years. The declarative
multi-paradigm language Curry is one of the important results of this
work since it combines in a seamless way the most relevant features
of functional, logic, and concurrent programming. The development of
Curry is an international initiative intended to provide a common
platform for the research, teaching, and application of integrated
functional logic languages. Various implementations of Curry are
available and they have been used in a number of different
applications.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested
in Curry, related functional logic languages, and general aspects of
integrating declarative programming paradigms. It promotes the
cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among researches
and students from the different communities interested in the
foundations, applications, and combinations of high-level, declarative
programming languages and related areas.
WCFLP 2005 includes the annual Workshop on Functional and Logic Programming
(WFLP). Previous WFLP editions were: WFLP 2004 (Aachen, Germany),
WFLP 2003 (Valencia, Spain), WFLP 2002 (Grado, Italy), WFLP 2001
(Kiel, Germany), WFLP 2000 (Benicassim, Spain), WFLP'99 (Grenoble, France),

ICLP 2005: Call for Workshops
[The Types Forum, http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-list]
*** CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ***
ICLP'05
Twenty First International Conference
on Logic Programming
October 2-5, 2005
Sitges (Barcelona) Spain
URL: http://www.iiia.csic.es/iclp2005/
ICLP'05, the 21st International Conference on Logic Programming, will
be held in Sitges(Barcelona), Spain, from October 2 to October 5, 2005.
We plan to have several workshops in parallel with the conference.
Workshops have a key role in Logic Programming Conferences. They
provide an ideal platform for the presentation of preliminary work or
novel ideas in a less formal way than the conference itself. They also
are an opportunity to disseminate work in progress, particularly for
new researchers. Workshops also provide a venue for presenting more
specialized topics and opportunities for more intensive discussions,
exchange of ideas, and project collaboration. The topics of the
workshops can cover any areas related to logic programming, including
cross-disciplinary areas.
To encourage active participation and exchange of ideas, the
workshops will be kept small, preferably under 40 participants.
The format of the workshop will be determined by the organizer(s)
proposing the workshop, but ample time must be allowed for general
discussion. Workshops can vary in length, but the optimal duration
will be half a day or a full day. Having two or three co-organizers
for a workshop is strongly advised.
Workshop Proposal:
==================
The persons intending to organize a workshop at ICLP'05 are invited
to submit a workshop proposal. Proposals should be in English and
about two pages in length. They should contain:
* The title of the workshop.
* A brief technical description of the topics covered by the workshop.
* A discussion of the timeliness and relevance of the workshop.
* The names, affiliation and contact details (email, web page, phone,
fax) of the workshop organizing committee together with a
designated contact person as the workshop coordinator.
* A preliminary plan/schedule for organizing the workshop, including
the required number of half-days allotted to the workshop.
* A list of previously-organized related workshops by any of the
workshop organizing committee. Although previous experience with
organizing similar workshops is not required, this information will
be helpful to the Workshop Chair.
* An estimate of the number of expected attendees.
Proposals are expected in ASCII or LaTeX format. All proposals should be
submitted to the Workshop Chair by email by March 31, 2005.
Workshop Organizers' Tasks:
===========================
* Producing a "Call for Papers" for the workshop and posting it
on the net and/or other means. Please provide a web page URL which
can be linked into the ICLP'05 home page by May 5, 2005.
* Providing a brief description of the workshop for the conference
program.
* Reviewing/accepting submitted papers.
* Scheduling workshop activities in collaboration with the local
organizers and the workshop chair.
* Sending workshop proceedings in LaTeX format to the workshop
chair for printing, by August 31, 2005 (if the proceedings are to be
printed by the local organizers)
Reviewing Process:
==================
Each submitted proposal is reviewed by the Workshops Chair and the
Conference Program Chairs. Proposals that appear well-organized and
that fit the goals and scope of ICLP will be selected. The decision
will be notified by email to the responsible organizer by April 13,
2005.
The definitive length of the workshop will be planned according to the
number of submissions received by the different workshops. For every
accepted workshop, the ICLP local organizers will prepare a meeting
place and can print the workshop proceedings, whose LaTeX preparation
is however in charge to the workshop organizers. The workshop
registration fees will be handled together with the conference fees.
Workshop Date and Location:
===========================
All workshops will take place on October 5th, 2005 at the site of the
main conference. ICLP'05 will be held in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain.
Sitges is a town 15 minutes away from the Barcelona international
airport and 30 minutes from the center of Barcelona. The town of Sitges
is situated in the Catalan region of Spain, and it is a well-established
tourist resort and residential area thanks to its warm climate and fantastic
natural panoramic views. The conference will be held at Melia Sitges Hotel,
located on the sea-front facing the Mediterranean and is within five-minute
walking distance from the city center.
Important Dates:
================
March 31, 2005: Proposal submission deadline
April 13, 2005: Acceptance notification
May 5, 2005: Deadline for receipt of CFP and URL for workshop web page
August 31, 2005: Deadline for preliminary proceedings
October 5, 2005: ICLP'05 workshops

Structures and Deduction Workshop 2nd cfp - ICALP'05 Satellite

STRUCTURES AND DEDUCTION
The quest for the essence of proofs
http://www.prooftheory.org/sd05
Submissions page is now open!
http://www.easychair.org/SD05/submit/
This meeting is about new algebraic and geometric methods in proof
theory, with the aim of expanding our ability to manipulate proofs,
eliminate bureaucracy from deductive systems, and ultimately provide:
1) a satisfying answer to the problem of identity of proofs and 2)
tools for improving our ability to implement logics.
Stimulated by computer science, proof theory is progressing at fast
pace. However, it is becoming very technical, and runs the risk of
splitting into esoteric specialties. The history of science tells us
that this has happened several times before, and that these
centrifugal tendencies are very often countered by conceptual
reunifications, which occur when one is looking at a field after
having taken a few steps back.
Some emerging ideas are showing their unifying potential. Deep
inference's atomization of deductions simplifies and unifies the
design of deduction systems; it provides unprecedented plasticity to
proofs and has injected new impetus into the theory of proof nets.
New proof nets, and new associated semantics, are giving surprising
insight about the very subtle relationship between categories and
proofs, for example in the formerly intractable case of classical
logic. The field of deduction modulo, which turns out to be very much
in the spirit of deep inference, decreases our dependency on the
syntactic presentation of functional objects, and brings us closer to
their intrinsic nature, even from the computational point of view.
After studying all those trees for years we at last have the
impression of looking at the forest.
The core topics are organised along the axis:
algebraic semantics deduction
of proofs deep inference modulo
game semantics operads and specification
<--> structads <-->
proof nets proof search
calculus of
deductive structures implementations
proof nets
This workshop aims at being a meeting point for all those who are
interested in decreasing the dependency of logic from low-level
syntax. The list of topics above is not exhaustive: if you feel you
can contribute to the discussion along the broad lines outlined above,
please submit your contribution.
SUBMISSION, IMPORTANT DATES AND PUBLICATION
Contributions such as work in progress, programmatic/position papers,
tutorials, as well as regular papers are more than welcome. We will
favor the former over regular papers that seem to us to be minor
contributions, although we will definitely not reject major
contributions!
Submissions should be formatted with the LNCS LaTeX style, and should
take between two and fifteen pages, to allow the committee to assess
their merits with reasonable effort. This limit can be relaxed for the
versions that will be presented at the workshop, depending on the
total bulk of the accepted contributions. We want to make clear that
contributions from members of the PC are allowed.
Contributions should be submitted electronically at the following site

submission: 15.4.2005
notification: 22.5.2005

authors to keep their copyrights. The issue of printed proceedings is
still under discussion.
