		       (C)LP TEACHING  session

At the the 19th International Conference on Logic Programming, to be
held in Mumbai (Bombay), India, from Dec. 9 to Dec. 13, 2003, a
session dedicated to the teaching of (Constraint) Logic Programming is
scheduled on Saturday 13th December.

(Constraint) Logic Programming is a very powerful programming
paradigm, but hard to learn without any help. If we want to spread the
technology, we must teach it at least to computer science
students. The session will investigate what is currently taught and
how. It will also discuss what we believe should be taught and why.

The panel will be divided into two parts. The first hour, the 6
panelists will present possible motivations, objectives, curriculae
related to (C)LP teaching. The second hour, questions, remarks and
suggestions will be taken from the audience.

Any person from the audience will be able to contribute to the
discussion. If possible this contribution should be summarized on a
slide (only one per contributor).

It would help the organization of the panel if contributors could
notify the panel chair about their intention to contribute by an email
with name, affiliation and if possible the intended (draft) slide.

An ultimate goal would be that interested people write a paper on the
topic. This paper could be sent to ACM, with the backing of ALP, and
try to get (C)LP permanently into the official ACM curriculum.
