IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract submission: May 3, 2009
Paper submission: May 7, 2009
Notification:  June 14, 2009
Final version: June 31, 2009
Conference:  September 7-9, 2009

SCOPE:
PPDP 2009 is a forum for researchers and practitioners in the
declarative programming communities. It solicits papers on all aspects
of logic, constraint and functional programming, as well as on related
paradigms such as visual programming, executable specification
languages, database languages,  AI and knowledge representation
languages for the semantic web.

MAIN TOPICS:
Logic, Constraint, and Functional Programming; Database, AI and
Knowledge Representation Languages; Visual Programming; Executable
Specification for Languages; Applications of Declarative Programming;
Methodologies for Program Design and Development; Declarative Aspects of
Object-Oriented Programming; Concurrent Extensions to Declarative
Languages; Declarative Mobile Computing; Paradigm Integration; Proof
Theoretic and Semantic Foundations; Type and Module Systems; Program
Analysis and Verification; Program Transformation; Abstract
Machines and Compilation; Programming Environments.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
Ralf Laemmel (Univ. Koblenz-Landau, Germany)
Vasco T. Vasconcelos (Univ. Lisbon, Portugal)

SUBMISSIONS:
Papers should be submitted to the submission website for PPDP'09
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ppdp2009).

Papers should consist of the equivalent of 12 pages under the ACM
formatting guidelines
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).

Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance,
relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. They should
include a clear identification of what has been accomplished and why
it is significant. They must describe original, previously
unpublished work that has not been simultaneously submitted for
publication elsewhere. Authors who wish to provide additional
material to the reviewers beyond the 12-page limit can do so in
clearly marked appendices: reviewers are not required to read such
appendices.

No simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (either a
conference or a journal) is allowed.

PROCEEDINGS:
The proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted
papers will be required to sign the ACM copyright form.

Camera ready papers for accepted papers should be prepared and
submitted according to the final instructions that will be sent by
the publisher after notification of acceptance. Authors are warned
about the strict deadline for camera ready versions imposed by the
publisher.

RELATED EVENTS:
PPDP 2009 will be co-located with the 18th EACSL Annual Conference on
Computer Science Logic (CSL 09) and the 19th International Symposium on
Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2009).
