The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively, friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress.
LOPSTR 2024 will be held in-person at Politecnico Milano in Milan, Italy and, as part of FM 2024, will be co-located with PPDP 2024, TAP 2024, FACS 2024, and FMICS 2024. At least one of the authors of an accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present the paper. Information about venue and travel will be made available later.
Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large, including, but not limited to:
Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective and papers that describe experience with industrial applications and case studies are also welcome.
LOPSTR is a renowned symposium that has been held for more than 30 years. The first meeting was held in Manchester, UK in 1991. Information about previous symposia can be found here. You can have a look at the contents of past LOPSTR symposia at DBLP and past LNCS proceedings at the Springer repository.
The important conference dates are as follows. All deadlines are AoE.
The call for papers can be found here.
Submissions can be made in two categories:
Submissions of Regular Papers must describe the original work. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chairs in case of questions).
Submissions of Short Papers may include presentations of exciting if not fully polished research and tool demonstrations that are of academic and industrial interest. Tool demonstrations should describe the relevant system, usability, and implementation aspects of a tool.
All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume.
After the symposium, a selection of a few best papers will be invited for submission to rapid publication in the Journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP). Authors of selected papers will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions to be considered for publication. The papers submitted to TPLP will be subject to the standard reviewing process of the journal.
Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in English) in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; authors and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract; and three to four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper.
Authors should consult Springer's author instructions at the author's page, and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX (available also in overleaf) or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCID identifiers in their papers.
In addition, upon acceptance, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use:
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage{lineno}
\linenumbers
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr2024
