Declarative Amsterdam 2020

(FYI)

On 8 and 9 October 2020, The second Declarative Amsterdam conference will  
take place at CWI (Science Park, Amsterdam).

The conference focuses on the technologies and methods used for  
declarative programming and declarative data.

Declarative programming is a style of programming that expresses the logic  
of a computation without describing its control flow. It allows a software  
engineer to focus on the ‘what’ of a program, rather than the ‘how’.  
Declarative programs can be constructed in less time, using much less code  
than a traditional computer program. Declarative methods for programming  
and data modelling can help to avoid making the mistakes that have lead to  
failing software projects for several decades.

Declarative Amsterdam will have presentations on past experiences, current  
trends and future perspectives in fields such as functional programming,  
declarative data modelling, databases, XML and related technologies, JSON,  
CSS, data visualization, grammars, parsing, and domain-specific languages.

The first day will feature tutorials, combining presentations and hands-on  
labs to give an introduction to a specific topic. The second day is a  
symposium, and consist of shorter presentations. Speakers can discuss new  
ideas, frameworks, applications of declarative methods, and best practices.

This year, Declarative Amsterdam is being organized by Dutch XML  
enthusiasts, who share an interest in technologies for data modelling and  
representation, and declarative methods.

In the event that the current meeting restrictions are still in effect in  
October, the conference will be held remotely via video. More details will  
be made available if and when the need arises.

Call for Presentations

We invite practitioners, software architects and engineers, academic  
researchers and others to submit proposals for tutorials and presentations.

Tutorials can be between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, and preferably include  
hands-on labs for participants. Presentations on the second day can be  
between 20 and 45 minutes. Proposals should at least include a title,  
duration and summary (90‒200 words). Speakers have the option of  
submitting a full paper or slides, which may be published on the  
Declarative Amsterdam website. The organizers will select talks that are  
most interesting to the target audience.

Submission deadline for proposals: June 28, 2020 by midnight CET

Presentations decision will be made before August 15, 2020
