[jats-list] [ANN] Declarative Amsterdam 2021, Call for Presentations

["Pieter Lamers pieter.lamers@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On 4 and 5 November 2021, the third Declarative Amsterdam conference
will take place at CWI, Science Park, Amsterdam.

The conference focuses on the technologies and methods used for
declarative programming and declarative data.

Declarative programming 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming) is a style of
programming that expresses the logic of computation without describing
its control flow. It allows you to focus on the 'what' of a program,
rather than the 'how'. Declarative programs can be constructed in a
fraction of the time, using much less code than a traditional computer
program. Declarative methods for programming and data modelling can
help avoid making the mistakes that have lead to failing software
projects for several decades.

Declarative Amsterdam will have presentations on past experiences,
current trends and future perspectives in fields such as functional
programming, declarative data modelling, databases, XML and related
technologies, JSON, CSS, semantic web, data science, data
visualization, grammars, parsing, and domain-specific languages.

We anticipate by November that we will be able to hold the conference
face-to-face, but either way, we are planning to broadcast live as
well.

The first day will feature tutorials, combining presentations and
hands-on sessions to give an introduction to specific topics.

The second day is a symposium, and will consist of shorter
presentations. Speakers can discuss new ideas, frameworks,
applications of declarative methods, and best practices.

*Call for Presentations *

We invite practitioners, software architects and engineers, academic
researchers and others to submit a proposal for a tutorial or a
presentation.

Tutorials can be between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, and preferably include
hands-on sessions for participants. Presentations on the second day
can be between 20 and 45 minutes. We plan to create the possibility of
online presentation via video.

Proposals should at least include a title, duration and summary (90 -
200 words), but may also be a full paper. Speakers have the option of
submitting a full paper or slides, to be published on the Declarative
Amsterdam website.
