=================================================
2003 JOINT CONFERENCE ON DECLARATIVE PROGRAMMING
APPIA-GULP-PRODE 2003
Preliminary Call for Papers
Reggio Calabria, Italy
September 3 - 5, 2003
http://www.informatica.ing.unirc.it/gulp03/
=================================================
Following the last three APPIA-GULP-PRODE events held, respectively, in La
Habana, Cuba (2000), in Évora, Portugal (2001) and Madrid, Spain (2002)
(Portugal), the next joint APPIA, GULP, and PRODE conference will be held
in Reggio Calabria (Italy), in September 3-5, 2003. The conference is being
organized by the DIMET Department of Universitą Mediterranea" di Reggio
Calabria and by the Mathematics Department of Universita' della Calabria of
Cosenza.
The aim of the Conference is to foster scientific cooperation between
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Latin America researchers -- although
submissions are open to the whole declarative programming community -- to
improve the knowledge of the state of the art of declarative programming
(through the invited talks) and to show ongoing research done
(through presentations of papers).
Topics
Submissions of papers are welcome on all aspects of declarative programming,
including, but not limited to:
- Theoretical Foundations: languages, semantics, procedures for declarative
programming
- Deductive databases: query and update languages, rewriting techniques,
constraints, view maintenance
- Implementation: running systems, parallelism, systems performance,
web-based tools
- Program Development Tools and Environments: abstract interpretation
techniques, debugging
- Logic Programming and Non-monotonic reasoning: semantics of new and
existing languages, relationship between various formalisms, complexity and
expressive power
- Extensions and Integration with other Paradigms: imperative,
functional-logic languages, concurrency, constraint solving and constraint
logic programming
- Specification Languages: executability, expressiveness, development
techniques
- Real World Experiences with Declarative Technologies: applications and
evaluation
Invited speakers:

Tutorials:
- Disjunctive Logic Programming: Knowledge Representation Techniques,
Computation and Applications - Wolfgang Faber, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
