CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Workshop on Reasoning about Declarative Programs

The first workshop on Reasoning about Declarative Programs (RDP) will be held in conjunction with the ACM SIGPLAN Symp. on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL 2017). It aims to bring together researchers from programming languages, distributed computing, declarative networking, and databases, to stimulate cross-fertilization among these areas.

The technical program consists of the following invited talks:

Adam Chlipala         Fiat: A New Take on Domain-Specific Languages by Programming with Specifications
Alin Deutsch            Automatic Verification of Database-Centric Workflows
Kathleen Fisher       Programming Language Ideas Escape the Lab:  Declarative Data Description Languages for Managing Ad-hoc Data                                                                
Rick Hull                  Verification Challenges in Applications of Blockchain for Business Collaboration
Christoph Koch       Building performance-sensitive systems in high-level languages
Frank Neven            Parallel-Correctness and Transferability for Conjunctive Queries
