                           CALL FOR PAPERS

             22nd Workshop on (Constraint) Logic Programming
		             (WLP 2008)

         http://nirvana.informatik.uni-halle.de/~schwarz/wlp2008/

	                  Dresden, Germany
	           September 30 - October 1, 2008

	       Co-located with JELIA 2008 and CLIMA IX

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

The workshops on (constraint) logic programming are 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.

In this year the workshop will be jointly organized with JELIA 2008
(11th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence) and 
CLIMA IX (9th International Workshop on Computational Logic in
Multi-Agent Systems) in order to promote the cross-fertilizing
exchange of ideas and experiences among researches and students from
the different communities interested in the foundations, applications,
and combinations of high-level, declarative programming languages and
related areas.  The technical program of the workshop will include
invited talks, presentations of refereed papers, and demo
presentations.

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

 * Foundations of Constraint/Logic Programming
 * Constraint Solving and Optimization
 * Extensions: Functional Logic Programming, Objects
 * Deductive Databases, Data Mining
 * Nonmonotonic Reasoning
 * Dynamics, Updates, States, Transactions
 * Interaction of CP/LP with other formalisms like Agents, XML, JAVA
 * Program Analysis, Program Transformation, Program Verification,
   Meta Pogramming
 * Parallelism and Concurrency
 * Answer-set Programming
 * Implementation Techniques
 * Software Techniques (e.g., Types, Modularity, Design Patterns)
 * Applications (e.g., in Production, Environment, Education, Internet)
 * Constraint/Logic Programming for Semantic Web Systems and Applications
 * Reasoning on the Semantic Web
 * Data Modelling for the Web, Semistructured Data, and Web Query Languages

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.
