Call for Papers and Participation and Relevant Information
COLOGNET Joint Workshop on
Component-based Software Development
and
Implementation Technology for Computational Logic Systems
Affiliated with LOPSTR 2002
19 - 20 September 2002, Madrid, Spain
COLOGNET, the European Network of Excellence in
Computational Logic
is organizing a
workshop on two of its workpackages: Component-based Software
Development (CBD) and Implementation Technology for Computational
Logic Systems (ITCLS). This joint workshop will be collocated with
SAS/LOPSTR/AGP.
The aim of the workshop is to present and discuss current research
issues, both in academia and industry. The joint workshop will be
organized in two tracks:
The goal of this session is to examine the process of component-based
software development in all phases of the development life-cycle
(i.e., specification, design, composition, testing, deployment).
Special emphasis will be placed on the use of Computational Logic
throughout the process. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes:
- Methodological foundation of component-based software development.
- Modeling of component-based systems.
- Tools supporting component-based development.
- Integration of the component paradigm into existing environments.
- Component testing, verification, distribution, maintenance.
- Combination of heterogeneous component technologies.
- The role of Computational Logic in all the above.
- Industrial experience reports.
This session is intended to be a continuation of the series of
workshops on Implementations of Logic Programming Systems held in the
context of COMPULOG NET, the former Network of Excellence in
Computational Logic. But, in contrast to the COMPULOG area meetings
on implementation, which were rather centered toward logic and
constraint logic programming systems, the target of this workshop is
broader: it includes implementation technology for other areas which
are part of the COLOGNET network. The aim is to bring together
researchers from fields such as automated reasoning, natural language
processing, constraint logic programming, model checking, etc., in
order to share common problems and solutions regarding implementation
issues which arise in the logic-based systems arena.
Suggested topics of interest for the implementation workshop include,
but are not limited to:
- Implementation of resolution and model elimination theorem provers.
- Implementation for non-monotonic reasoning systems and semantics.
- Implementation of higher-order, linear, etc. logics.
- Implementation techniques for natural language processing.
- Standard and non-standard sequential implementation schemes for
constraint logic programing languages (e.g., generalization /
modification of WAM, translation to C, etc.)
- Memory management and garbage collection issues.
- Implementation of concurrency and parallelism in logic-based
languages.
- Extensions to the Warren Abstract Machine. Term indexing.
The workshop programme will consist of invited talks and accepted
papers. Invited talks include the following:
Robert Hall, AT &
T: Open Modeling in
Multi-stakeholder Distributed Systems: Research and Tool Challenges
for Requirements Engineering, Formal Methods, and Automated Software
Engineering.
Robert Hall does research on Automated Software Engineering,
particularly in making networked services and components secure,
reliable, and scalable.
