                         CALL FOR PAPERS!!!

                   Eighth International Symposium on
            Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages 2006
                            (PADL '06)

             http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/pvh/PADL06.html

                      Charleston Place Hotel
                    Charleston, South Carolina
                          January 9-10

                    Co-located with ACM POPL'06

Declarative languages build on sound theoretical bases to provide 
attractive
frameworks for application development. These languages have been 
successfully
applied to vastly different real-world situations, ranging from data 
base management
to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems.

New developments in theory and implementation have opened up new 
application areas.
At the same time, applications of declarative languages to novel 
problems raises
numerous interesting research issues. Well-known questions include 
designing for
scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and 
programming
environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and 
implementation
of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well.

PADL is a forum for researchers and practioners to present original work 
emphasizing
novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of 
declarative concepts,
including, functional, logic, constraints, etc. Topics of interest include:

* innovative applications of declarative languages;
* declarative domain-specific languages and applications;
* practical applications of theoretical results;
* new language developments & their impact on applications;
* evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications;
* novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom; and
* practical experiences

PADL 06 welcomes new ideas and approaches pertaining to applications and 
implementation
of declarative languages, and is not limited to the scope of the past 
five PADL symposia.

PADL 06 will be co-located with the ACM POPL.

IMPORTANT DATES AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

     Paper Submission:      August 20, 2005
     Notification:          September 30, 2005
     Final Manuscript:      October 20, 2005
     Symposium:             January 9-10, 2005

     Authors should submit an electronic copy of the full paper (written in
     English) in Postscript (Level 2) or PDF. Papers must be no longer 
than 15
     pages, written in 11-point font and with single spacing. Since the 
final
     proceedings will be published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
by Springer
     Verlag, authors are strongly encouraged to use the LNCS paper 
formatting
     guidelines for their submission.

     Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; 
authors and
     their affiliations; contact author's email and postal addresses, 
telephone and
     fax numbers, abstract, and three to four keywords. The keywords 
will be used to
     assist us in selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. If 
electronic submission
     is impossible, please contact the program chair for information on 
how to submit
     hard copies.



MOST PRACTICAL PAPER AWARD

         The Most Practical Paper award will be given to the submission 
that is judged
         by the programm committee to be the best in terms of 
practicality, originality,
         and clarity of presentation. The program committee may choose 
not to make an
         award; or may make multiple awards.
