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 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'08 will be held in July in the convention centre of the University of Siena, Italy: http://www.unisi.it/santachiara/ The workshop will be co-located with WWV'08: http://wwv08.dimi.uniud.it/ WORKSHOP VENUE Siena is one of the nicest city in Italy. The historical centre is situated on top of a hill and is made of beautiful medieval buildings and churches, all surrounded by ancient walls. The countryside of Siena is worldwide famous for its beauty. The Palio of Siena is probably the most famous historical fair in Italy. The most important event of it is a horse race of medieval origins, which is held in the afternoon of July 2nd in 'Piazza del Campo' in the centre of Siena. For more information, please visit http://www.comune.siena.it/ TOPICS WFLP'08 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: 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. Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission site http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wflp2008 Preliminary proceedings will be available at the workshop. Selected authors will be invited to submit a full version of their papers after the workshop. These submissions will pass through a second round of reviewing. Accepted contributions are going to be published in the Elsevier series Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS).
