              WLPE 2013 - CALL FOR PAPERS

           Workshop on Logic-based Methods in
                 Programming Environments

            (satellite workshop of ICLP 2013)

                   24-25 August 2013
                    Istanbul, Turkey

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

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 23rd Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments
will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, as a satellite workshop of ICLP
2013, the 29th 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), Lexington,
USA (2011), and Budapest, Hungary (2012).

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. 

Submissions must be made in Springer's LNCS format via the page:

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).
