Scope of the Conference

PPDP 2003 aims to stimulate research in the use of logical formalisms and methods for analyzing, specifying, and performing computations. Of general interest are all aspects surrounding declarative programming languages such as logic programming, functional logic programming, and constraint programming. Topics of more specific interest are enhancements to such formalisms with mechanisms for concurrency, mobility, modularity, object-orientation, and static analysis, as well as the fuller exploitation of the programming-as-proof-search framework through new designs and improved implementation methods. At the level of methodology, the use of logic based principles in the design of tools for program development, analysis, and verification relative to all programming paradigms is of interest. Papers related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools in industry and education are especially solicited.

Conference Venue and Related Events

PPDP 2003 is part of a federation meeting known as Principles, Logics and Implementations of high-level programming languages (PLI 2003) which includes the ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2003). PLI will take place at the main university building of Uppsala University.
