The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively, friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress. Formal proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers.
The 29th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2019) will be held at the Porto, Portugal, and will be co-located with the Symposium on Formal Methods, FM'19 and a part of the FM Week.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in English) in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; authors and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract; and three to four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use:
\pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{lineno} \linenumbers
Submissions cannot exceed 15 pages including references but excluding well-marked appendices not intended for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them. Papers should be submitted via the Easychair submission website for LOPSTR 2019 at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr19
List of Topics
Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large. This year LOPSTR extends its traditional topics to include also logic-based program development based on integration of sub-symbolic and symbolic models, on machine learning techniques and on differential semantics. Both full papers and extended abstracts describing applications in all these areas are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of logic-based program development, including, but not limited to: synthesis, transformation, specialization, composition, optimization, inversion, specification, analysis and verification, testing and certification, program and model manipulation, machine learning for program development, integration of sub-symbolic and symbolic models, differential semantics, transformational techniques in SE, applications and tools.
Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective, and application papers that describe experience with industrial applications are also welcome.
