PADL 2018 - 20th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages

PADL is a well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative concepts, including, functional, logic, constraints, etc.
Declarative languages build on sound theoretical bases to provide attractive frameworks for application development. These languages have been successfully applied to many 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 raise 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.
Topic of interest for PADL 2018 include, but are not limited to:
Innovative applications of declarative languages
Declarative domain-specific languages and applications
Practical applications of theoretical results
New language developments and their impact on applications
Declarative languages and software engineering
Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications
Practical experiences and industrial applications
Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom
Practical extensions such as constraint-based, probabilistic, and reactive languages.
