SCOPE
The Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming aims
at bringing together researchers interested in functional
programming, (constraint) logic programming, as well as the
integration of the two paradigms. 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.

(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.
