It promotes the cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers and students from the different communities interested in the foundations, applications, and combinations of high-level, declarative programming languages and related areas. The previous WFLP editions are: WFLP 2008 (Siena, Italy), WFLP 2007 (Paris, France), WFLP 2006 (Madrid, Spain), WCFLP 2005 (Tallinn, Estonia), WFLP 2004 (Aachen, Germany), WFLP 2003 (Valencia, Spain), WFLP 2002 (Grado, Italy), WFLP 2001 (Kiel, Germany), WFLP 2000 (Benicassim, Spain), WFLP'99 (Grenoble, France), WFLP'98 (Bad Honnef, Germany), WFLP'97 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'96 (Marburg, Germany), WFLP'95 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'94 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'93 (Rattenberg, Germany), and WFLP'92 (Karlsruhe, Germany). LOCATION WFLP'09 will be held in June 28, 2009 at Brasilia, Brazil, as part of the Federated Conference on Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming (RDP'09). WFLP'09 solicits papers in all areas of functional and (constraint) logic programming, including but not limited to: * Foundations: formal semantics, rewriting and narrowing, constraint solving, dynamics, type theory * Language Design: modules and type systems, multi-paradigm languages, concurrency and distribution, objects * Implementation: abstract machines, parallelism, compile-time and run-time optimizations, interfacing with external languages * Transformation and Analysis: abstract interpretation, specialization, partial evaluation, program transformation, meta-programming * Software Engineering: design patterns, specification, verification and validation, debugging, test generation * Integration of Paradigms: integration of declarative programming with other paradigms such as imperative, object-oriented, concurrent, and real-time programming * Applications: security, declarative programming in education and industry, domain-specific languages, visual/graphical user interfaces, embedded systems, WWW applications, knowledge representation and machine learning, deductive databases, advanced programming environments and tools SUBMISSIONS and PROCEEDINGS Authors are invited to submit papers of at most 15 pages (pdf or postscript formats) presenting original, not previously published works. Submission categories include regular research papers, short papers (not more than 8 pages) describing on-going work, and system descriptions. Submissions must be formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style (excluding well-marked appendices not intended for publication). Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission site http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wflp2009 Preliminary proceedings will be available at the workshop. Selected authors will be invited to submit a full version of their papers after the workshop. Contributions accepted for the post-workshop proceedings are planned to be published in a journal.
