CfP: Workshop on Constraint Handling Rules

   CALL FOR PAPERS

*First Workshop on Constraint Handling Rules*

   http://www.informatik.uni-ulm.de/pm/veranstaltungen/chr2004/

   May 10 - May 14, 2004

   University of Ulm, Germany

  The Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) language has become a major
  specification and implementation language for constraint-based
  algorithms and applications. CHR is a concurrent committed-choice
  guarded rule language.  Algorithms are often specified using
  inference rules, rewrite rules, sequents, proof rules or
  logical axioms that can be directly written in CHR. Based on
  first order predicate logic, this clean semantics of CHR facilitates
  non-trivial program analysis and transformation.

  Several implementations of CHR exist in Prolog, Haskell and Java. A
  particular emphasis of this first workshop will be on the comparison,
  joint development, consolidation and common extension of the various CHR
  implementations. We expect the main implementors of CHR to be present at
  the workshop.

     Call for Papers

  This first CHR workshop calls for extended abstracts (must not
  exceed 5 pages) describing ongoing work on all aspects of CHR, including
  topics such as:

  - Implementations
  - Program Transformation
  - Program Analysis
  - Algorithms
  - Applications
  - Critical Assessment/Comparisons

  To submit, send an email to [email protected]
  containing three consecutive ASCII lines with title, author(s) and
  email(s) and the ps or pdf file attached.

  Authors of accepted submissions are expected to present their papers at
  the workshop.
