Apologies for Multiple Copies of this Message _______________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS [please circulate!] 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.
