Call For Participation ICLP'91 Preconference Workshop on CONSTRUCTING LOGIC PROGRAMS June 24, 1991, Paris, France The construction of programs is in general a quite complicated task. Despite their declarative appeal, logic programming languages do not allow a complete declarative style of programming. Among the reasons are the introduction of extra-logical features and the use of efficient search rules. The situation is even considered to be worse when concurrent languages are used since then problems of interference, synchronization, deadlock and starvation are to be feared. The workshop is intended to bring together researchers interested in the construction of logic programs (either sequential or concurrent; based on pure Horn clauses or on their extensions). More precisely, the emphasis will be on the following topics: - constructive methods of logic programs, - proof methods of logic program properties, - logic program transformation, derivation and refinement schemes, - semantical characterizations of logic programs. Reports on related topics are also invited. If you are interested in giving a presentation of your current research in one of these topics, send a 3-5 page abstract or, better, a full paper before May 15th. All the material related to the above topics and received before that date will be published in informal proceedings and distributed to the participants. A selection of the submitted papers will be made for presentation; acceptance will be notified by June 5th. Those who are only interested in attending the workshop are welcome too. They are kindly requested to send their postal and (if available) electronic addresses as soon as possible. All submissions and information requests should be sent to: J.-M.
