Declarative Amsterdam 2025 - Call for presentations

Following the success of the past six editions, the seventh edition of Declarative Amsterdam will once again take place at the Science Park, Amsterdam on Thursday/Friday 6/7 November 2024. As usual, it will be a hybrid conference with the opportunity to attend live or online, for both attendees and presenters.

Declarative techniques are a style of computing that expresses the purpose of computation without describing its control flow. It allows you to focus on the ‘what’, rather than the ‘how’.

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

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 and 2.5 hours, and preferably include hands-on sessions for participants. 

Presentations on the second day can be between 15 and 45 minutes. Speakers can present in person, or prepare a video, and be available online for the question and answer session afterwards.

A presentation can be about an established technology, a new idea, a product, or application, as long as it addresses the topic of the conference.

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

All presentations are made available for the wider audience after the conference on our website and on YouTube.. For papers and topics from previous years, see the website: https://declarative.amsterdam.
