THE WORKSHOP
============

The series of workshops on (constraint) logic programming serve 
as the annual meeting of the Society of Logic Programming (GLP e.V.) 
and bring together researchers interested in logic programming, 
constraint programming, and related areas like databases and artificial 
intelligence. Previous workshops have been held in Germany, Austria and 
Switzerland. The workshops provide a forum for exchanging ideas on 
declarative logic programming, nonmonotonic reasoning and knowledge 
representation, and facilitate interactions between research in theoretical 
foundations and in the design and implementation of logic-based programming 
systems. The technical program of the workshop will include invited talks, 
presentations of refereed papers, and system demonstrations.


TOPICS
======

Contributions are welcome on all theoretical, experimental, 
and application aspects of constraint and logic programming, 
including, but not limited to the following areas (the order 
does not reflect any priorities):

* Theoretical aspects:
  o foundations of constraint programming (CP) and logic programming (LP);
  o constraint solving and optimization;
  o extensions: functional logic programming, objects;
  o deductive databases, data mining;
  o nonmonotonic reasoning;
  o dynamics, updates, states, transactions;
  o interaction of CP/LP with other formalisms like agents, XML, JAVA;
  o program analysis, program transformation, program verification, 
    meta pogramming;
  o parallelism and concurrency;
  o rule-based systems;
  o abductive and inductive logic programming;
  o answer-set programming;
  o complexity and expressive power. 

* Implementation of systems:
  o system descriptions, comparisons, evaluations;
  o benchmarks;
  o implementation techniques;
  o software techniques (e.g., types, modularity, design patterns, debugging). 

* Application of logic programming:
  o logic programming in production, management, environment, 
    education, medicine, internet, etc.;
  o CP/LP for Semantic Web applications and reasoning on the Semantic Web;
  o data modelling for the Web, semistructured data, and Web query languages;
  o knowledge representation and reasoning. 

The primary focus is on new and original research results but 
submissions describing innovative products, prototypes under 
development, or interesting experiments (e.g., benchmarks) are 
also encouraged.
