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.
