------------------------------

*Declarative languages* is an umbrella term that include functional, logic,
and constraint programming languages. These languages have been
successfully applied to many different real-world situations, ranging from
database 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 challenging problems raise intriguing research questions, such as
scalable design and implementation, 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 well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to
present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation
techniques for all forms of declarative programming, including functional
and logic programming, database and constraint programming, and theorem
proving. Topics of interest 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 for software engineering
   - Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications
   - Practical experiences and industrial applications
   - Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom
   - Practical languages and extensions such as probabilistic and reactive
   languages

*PADL 2020* especially welcomes new ideas and approaches pertaining to
applications, design and implementation of declarative languages going
beyond the scope of the past PADL symposia, for example, advanced database
languages and contract languages, as well as verification and theorem
proving methods that rely on declarative languages.
Important Dates and Submission Guidelines:
<https://popl20.sigplan.org/home/PADL-2020#important-dates-and-submission-guidelines>

   - Abstracts due: 11 October 2019
   - Papers due: 18 October 2019
   - Notification to authors: 18 November 2019
   - Camera-ready: 29 November 2020
   - Symposium dates: 20 - 21 January 2020

Authors should submit an electronic copy of the full paper in PDF using the
Springer LNCS format. The submission will be done through EasyChair
conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=padl2020

All submissions must be original work written in English. Submissions must
be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that
already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops
proceedings may be submitted but the authors should notify the program
chair about the place on which it has previously appeared.

PADL 2020 will accept both technical and application papers:

*Technical papers* must describe original, previously unpublished research
results. Technical papers must not exceed 15 pages (plus one page of
references).

*Application papers* are a mechanism to present important practical
applications of declarative languages that occur in industry or in areas of
research other than Computer Science. Application papers are expected to
describe complex and/or real-world applications that rely on innovative use
of declarative languages. Application descriptions, engineering solutions
and real-world experiences (both positive and negative) are solicited. The
limit for application papers is 8 pages but such papers can also point to
sites with supplemental information about the application or the system
that they describe.

*The proceedings of PADL 2020 will appear in the LNCS series of Springer
Verlag: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs
<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs>.*
Journal Publication for Best Papers
<https://popl20.sigplan.org/home/PADL-2020#journal-publication-for-best-papers>

The best papers (as selected by the PC chairs) will be invited to submit a
longer version for journal publication after the symposium. For papers
related to logic programming, in the journal Theory and Practice of Logic
Programming (TPLP)
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-programming,
and for papers related to functional programming, in Journal of Functional
Programming (JFP)
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-functional-programming.

The authors of these papers will be invited to submit a journal version
containing at least 30% new material. This will be reviewed by the PC
and/or the respective journal editors for a swifter reviewing process of
the journal version.

Such extensions could be explanations for which there was no space,
illuminating examples and proofs, additional definitions and theorems,
further experimental results, implementational details and feedback from
practical/engineering use, extended discussion of related work and such
like.
