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.

The previous WFLP editions are:

(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.
