2nd International Workshop on Logic Programming Tools for Internet
Applications
in conjunction with ICLP'97, Leuven, Belgium July 8--12, 1997
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the paradigm shift to highly inter-connected computers and programming
tools, logic programming languages have a unique opportunity to contribute
to practical Internet application development. Simplicity, remote
executability, robustness, automatic memory management, are among the
features some LP languages share with emerging tools like Java. Superior
meta-programming and high-level distributed programming facilities, built-in
grammars and dynamic databases, declarative semantics are among their
competitive advantages. Embedding of LP components in Internet applications
as well as recent Java-based implementations of LP languages are promising a
quick integration of LP research in widely used mainstream software systems.
As its popular predecessor held at JICSLP'96 in Bonn, the workshop explores
the use of logic programming tools for developing practical Internet
applications as well as theoretical work based on declarative techniques
giving new insights on understanding emerging net technologies.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* LP-based groupware, collaborative work technologies, virtual worlds
* LP-based distributed objects, coordination languages
* LP-languages with remote processing abilities, mobile code, Internet
agents
* LP-based HTML, VRML generators and parsers, HTTP daemons/browsers
* LP-based scripting languages, SSIs and CGIs
* embedding of logic engines in Internet applications
* Java-based Prolog systems and embeddable components
* LP-based Internet content analyzers and natural language tools
* LP-based hyper-text and electronic publishing systems
* interfaces between logic languages and conventional Web tools
* LP-based net search tools and spiders, net indexing tools and
techniques
* LP-originated theoretical work on foundations of Internet technologies
The workshop is intended to show the potential of logic programming as a
competitive technology for Internet application development and bring logic
programming closer to be recognized as a mainstream programming technology.
The main focus is on new and original research, but we also encourage the
submission of papers describing products, and prototypes in development.
Vision papers discussing the potential of LP for Internet programming are
also welcome. Expected duration of the workshop is one day.
