About

FLOPS is a forum for research on all issues concerning declarative programming, including functional programming and logic programming, and aims to promote cross-fertilization and integration between the two paradigms. Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji Susono (1995), Shonan Village (1996), Kyoto (1998), Tsukuba (1999), Tokyo (2001), Aizu (2002), Nara (2004), and Fuji Susono (2006).

Topics

FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of functional and logic programming, including (but not limited to):

Declarative Pearls: new and excellent declarative programs with illustrative applications;
Language issues: language design and constructs, programming methodology, integration of paradigms, interfacing with other languages, type systems, constraints, concurrency and distributed computing;
Foundations: logic and semantics, rewrite systems and narrowing, type theory, proof systems;
Implementation issues: compilation techniques, memory management, program analysis and transformation, partial evaluation, parallelism;
Applications: case studies, real-world applications, graphical user interfaces, Internet applications, XML, databases, formal methods and model checking.

The proceedings will be published as volume 4989 of the LNCS series. The proceedings of the previous meeting (FLOPS2006) were published as LNCS 3945.

Submission

Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:

Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be judged on originality, correctness, and significance.
System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design.

All submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 proceedings pages long. Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e and the Springer llncs class file, available from Springer's author information site.

Regular research papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made accessible otherwise (e.g. a link to a web page, or an appendix).

Submission is Web-based, through the EasyChair system. Please follow this link to FLOPS 2008 submissions.

Here is a call for papers in PDF format.
