Proceedings of DIPLCL'99

International Workshop on Distributed and Internet Programming with Logic and Constraint Languages

Las Cruces, New Mexico USA
This workshop has been held in conjunction with ICLP99 - the International Conference on Logic Programming http://www.CS.NMSU.Edu/~complog/conferences/iclp99/


With the paradigm shift to highly interconnected computers and programming tools, logic and constraint languages have a unique opportunity to contribute to practical distributed and Internetapplication development.  Simplicity, robustness, and automatic memory management are among the features logic and constraint languages share with emerging tools like Java.  Competitive advantages of logic and constraint languages include:

There are many ways declarative programming research can be quickly integrated into mainstream software.  These include: Extending the scope of its predecessors held at JICSLP'96 and ICLP'97, the workshop has explored the use of declarative programming tools for developing practical distributed and Internet applications as well as theoretical work based on logic and constraint programming techniques giving new insights on understanding emerging technologies.
