You are cordially invited to the Fifth International Symposium on
Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages that will be held on Jan 13-14,
2003 right before ACM POPL. PADL received a record number of submissions (57)
this year, out of which 23 papers were selected for presentation at the
conference. Accepted papers also include "declarative pearls" and "Application
Letters." The program includes invited talks by three
distinguished speakers: Gerard Huet (INRIA, France), Shriram Krishnamurthi
(Brown University) and David Page (U. of Wisconsin, USA).
Registration rates ($175 regular and $125 student) have been kept very
low to make the event affordable.  If you are attending ACM POPL, we encourage
you to stay for a whole week in New Orleans and attend PADL as well.
