CFP. MultiCPL'04: Multiparadigm Constraint Programming Languages

========================================
==============================

CALL FOR PAPERS

MultiCPL 2004

3rd International Workshop on
Multiparadigm Constraint Programming Languages

http://uebb.cs.tu-berlin.de/MultiCPL04/

Held in conjunction with the

20th International Conference on Logic Programming, ICLP'04

http://www.irisa.fr/manifestations/2004/ICLP04/

Saint-Malo, France, 6-10 September, 2004

 ========================================
==============================

GENERAL

Multiparadigm programming languages combine different programming
paradigms, such as functional, logic, imperative, constraint or
concurrent ones. The idea of a multiparadigm language is to increase
expressiveness and problem-solving power such that the programmer can
use a wide range of styles and language features from different
paradigms.

While the integration of constraints into general-purpose programming
languages has been widely investigated for the case of logic
programming, interesting solutions have been obtained as well by
merging constraints and languages not based on a purely logic
paradigm.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people interested in
multiparadigm constraint programming, language design and
implementation to communicate and discuss recent developments, work in
progress, and new research directions in combining constraints with
languages that are not purely logic based, like functional logic,
functional, imperative and object-oriented languages.

The first and second MultiCPL-Workshops have been held at the Eighth
and Ninth International Conferences on Principles and Practice of
Constraint Programming - CP2002 (Ithaca, NY, USA) and CP 2003
(Kinsale, Ireland), respectively.

This workshop will address all aspects of multiparadigm constraint
programming. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Combining constraints and logic languages with
- imperative,
- object-oriented,
- concurrent,
- functional, or
- functional logic languages,
* Language Concepts,
* Implementation,
* Theory and Semantics,
* Applications.
