CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming on
Multiparadigm Languages and Constraint Programming

Guest Editors: Moreno Falaschi and Michael Maher

Following up on a series of 11 workshops (WFLP) on multiparadigm
languages and constraint programming, the journal on Theory and
Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) is planning a special issue on
multiparadigm languages and constraint programming to
appear in 2005.

TOPICS

In recent years much research and implementation efforts have been
devoted both to multiparadigm languages and constraint programming languages.
The aim of this special issue is to attract high-quality research
papers on all aspects related to multi-paradigm languages and
constraint programming, such as semantics, analysis, extensions,
implementations and applications.  Papers addressing how to use
constraints for integrating different paradigms, or extensions of
multiparadigm languages with constraints would be particularly
welcome, although papers solely on multiparadigm programming or
constraint programming are also of interest.  Surveys and
comparisons of constraint techniques and multiparadigm languages are
also solicited.  This special issue should hence stimulate the
cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers
from the different communities interested in the foundations,
applications, and combinations of high-level, multiparadigm and
constraint programming languages and related areas.


Submissions

Revised and enhanced versions of papers published at conferences that
have not appeared in archival journals are eligible for
submission. Papers describing important past research in this area
which have not been published in archival journal papers are also
solicited.

For any doubt regarding the appropriateness of the topic of a paper
for this special issue please email either to Moreno Falaschi
(falaschi@dimi.uniud.it)
or to Michael Maher (mjm@math.luc.edu)

Papers should be written in English, and formatted using the LaTeX
style files developed by Cambridge University Press for TPLP.
