Post-Conference Workshop
CICLOPS 2001 Colloquium on Implementation of Constraint and LOgic Programming Systems
held in conjunction with the International Conference on Logic Programming
Paphos, Cyprus
December 1, 2001 ======================================================================== see also: http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~complog/conferences/iclp01 ========================================================================
This workshop is a continuation of the series of workshops on Implementations of Logic Programming Systems, previously held with considerable success in Budapest (1993), Santa Margherita (1994) and Ithaca (1994), as well as the Compulog Net workshops on Parallelism and Implementation Technologies held in Madrid (1993-4), Utrecht (1995), Bonn (1996), Port Jefferson (1997), Manchester (1998), Las Cruces (1999), and London (2000). This year, the event will join forces with TRICS (Techniques for Implementing Constraint Programming Systems), previously held in Singapore (2000), thus providing coverage to implementation technology for both Logic and Constraint Programming.
The last years have seen continuous progress in the computing technology available both for the academic and commercial computing environments. Examples include improved processor performance, increased memory capacity and bandwidth, faster networking technology, and Operating System support for cluster computing. Combined with recent advances in compilation technologies, these improvements are causing high-level languages to be regarded as good candidates for programming complex, real world applications.
Logic Programming and Constraint Programming, in particular, seem to offer one of the best alternatives, as they couple a very high level of abstraction and a declarative nature with an extreme flexibility in the design of its execution model.
The main intent of this workshop is to bring together, in an informal and friendly setting, key researchers on implementation technologies for logic and constraint-based languages and systems, in order to promote a much needed exchange of ideas and feedback on recent developments.
The workshop is focused on design and implementation of logic and constraint programming systems whether sequential, parallel, or concurrent. Preference will be given to the analysis and description of implemented systems (or systems currently under implementation) and their associated techniques, problems found in their development or design, and steps taken towards the solution of these problems.
Suggested topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- standard and non-standard implementation schemes e.g. modification of WAM, translation to C, native-code generation etc. - optimizing compilers and static analysis - parallelism and concurrency - techniques for the implementation of different extensions of logic and constraint programming, e.g., multi-paradigm languages and systems, non-monotonic reasoning systems, inductive logic programming - benchmarking and performance evaluation - Software design aspects of LP/CP systems: components, patterns, etc. - memory management and garbage collection - programming environments - tools for internet applications - experiences from using systems in real-life applications
Contributions: -------------- Authors are invited to submit papers written in English and not exceeding 12 pages (10pts Font, letter-size paper, 1 inch margin). To speed up the process of refereeing, authors are requested to submit their paper in Postscript or PDF form by electronic mail to the workshop coordinator (e-mail address below). Conventional paper copies may be sent to the contact address below only if access to electronic media is not available. Submissions should contain full return mail and email address (if applicable), and FAX number (if applicable) of the contact author. Prospective authors are kindly requested to first send an indication of interest together with a paper title to the organizers. Deadline for submissions is September 5, 2001. Authors submitting by electronic mail will receive an acknowledgement (also by electronic mail) within 2-3 days.
Accepted papers: ---------------- Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two referees. Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by September 23, 2001. To be included in the workshop proceedings (to be distributed to the workshop participants), revised versions of the accepted papers must be sent no later than October 5, 2001. Electronic versions of the accepted papers will be also made available through the workshop's homepage.
