LOPSTR 2019 - 29th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2019)

The 29th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2019) will be held at the Porto, Portugal. Previous symposia were held in Namur, Edinburgh, Siena, Canterbury, Madrid, Leuven, Odense, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia, Lyngby, Venice, London, Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London, Venice, Manchester, Leuven, Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa, Louvain-la-Neuve, Manchester and Frankfurt. LOPSTR 2019 will be co-located with the Symposium on Formal Methods, FM'19 and a part of the FM Week.
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. This year LOPSTR extends its traditional topics to include also logic-based program development based on integration of sub-symbolic and symbolic models, on machine learning techniques and on differential semantics. Both full papers and extended abstracts describing applications in all these areas are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of logic-based program development, including, but not limited to: synthesis, transformation, specialization, composition, optimization, inversion, specification, analysis and verification, testing and certification, program and model manipulation, machine learning for program development, integration of sub-symbolic and symbolic models, differential semantics, transformational techniques in SE, applications and tools.
Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective, and application papers that describe experience with industrial applications are also welcome.
Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions).
