Dear Gabriel, thanks for your email, consideration to send 2 (!) papers to PPDP, and ofcourse for raising this question about the open access fees. I am about to finalise all paperwork required for the ACM ICPS proceedings for PPDP'19. This includes a decision whether to opt in or opt out of the Open Access fees for PPDP'19 proceedings. I was told that traditionally, PPDP does not pay for open access, in order to reduce the registration fees for its participants. However, following your email, I have now initiated a discussion with the Steering and PC committees about this issue. I will update the CAML-list about this shortly, and certainly before the submission deadline. In the meantime, please do not give up on PPDP'19! :-) Best regards, Katya On Fri, 12 Apr 2019 at 13:00, Gabriel Scherer wrote: > Dear Ekaterina (and caml-list), > > I am considering PPDP for a submission¹ but, for me personally, the > ability to retain my author rights and have the paper published as > open-access at a reasonable price (cost of operation) is a deciding factor. > There is little information on the PPDP website or in the CFP besides the > fact that it's ACM-published; do I correctly understand that authors > wishing to retain their full rights over their work would have to pay the > standard ACM author-processing charge of $900? > > ¹: actually two submissions. > > Best > > > > On Fri, Apr 12, 2019 at 12:38 PM Ekaterina Komendantskaya < > komendantskaya@gmail.com> wrote: > >> FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS -- PPDP 2019 >> >> 21st International Symposium on >> >> Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming >> >> 7–9 October 2019, Porto, Portugal >> >> Collocated with FM'19 >> >> http://ppdp2019.macs.hw.ac.uk >> >> ====================================================================== >> >> Important Dates >> >> --------------- >> >> Title and abstract registration 26 April 2019 (AoE) >> >> Paper submission 3 May 2019 (AoE) >> >> Rebuttal period (48 hours) 3 June 2019 (AoE) >> >> Author notification 14 June 2019 >> >> Final paper version 15 July 2019 >> >> Conference 7–9 October 2019 >> >> About PPDP >> >> ---------- >> >> The PPDP 2019 symposium brings together researchers from the declarative >> >> programming communities, including those working in the functional, >> logic, >> >> answer-set, and constraint handling programming paradigms.
