WFLP 2009

SCOPE

The Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming aims at bringing together researchers interested in functional programming, (constraint) logic programming, as well as the integration of the two paradigms. It promotes the cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers and students from the different communities interested in the foundations, applications and combinations of high-level, declarative programming languages and related areas.
The previous WFLP editions are: WFLP 2008 (Siena, Italy), WFLP 2007 (Paris, France), WFLP 2006 (Madrid, Spain), WCFLP 2005 (Tallinn, Estonia), WFLP 2004 (Aachen, Germany), WFLP 2003 (Valencia, Spain), WFLP 2002 (Grado, Italy), WFLP 2001 (Kiel, Germany), WFLP 2000 (Benicassim, Spain), WFLP'99 (Grenoble, France), WFLP'98 (Bad Honnef, Germany), WFLP'97 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'96 (Marburg, Germany), WFLP'95 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'94 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'93 (Rattenberg, Germany), and WFLP'92 (Karlsruhe, Germany).

TOPICS

WFLP'09 solicits papers in all areas of functional and (constraint) logic programming, including but not limited to:

Foundations: formal semantics, rewriting and narrowing, non-monotonic reasoning, dynamics, type theory
Language Design: modules and type systems, multi-paradigm languages, concurrency and distribution, objects
Implementation: abstract machines, parallelism, compile-time and run-time optimizations, interfacing with external languages
Transformation and Analysis: abstract interpretation, specialization, partial evaluation, program transformation, meta-programming
Software Engineering: design patterns, specification, verification and validation, debugging, test generation
Integration of Paradigms: integration of declarative programming with other paradigms such as imperative, object-oriented, concurrent, and real-time programming
Applications: declarative programming in education and industry, domain-specific languages, visual/graphical user interfaces, embedded systems, WWW applications, knowledge representation and machine learning, deductive databases, advanced programming environments and tools

SUBMISSION and PROCEEDINGS

Authors are invited to submit papers of at most 15 pages (pdf or postscript formats) presenting original, not previously published works. Submission categories include regular research papers, short papers (not more than 8 pages) describing on-going work, and system descriptions. Submissions must be formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style (excluding well-marked appendices not intended for publication). Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission site here.

Preliminary proceedings will be available at the workshop. Selected authors will be invited to submit another version of their papers after the workshop. Contributions accepted for the post-workshop proceedings will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
