Overview

Multiparadigm programming languages combine different programming paradigms, such as functional, logic, imperative, constraint or concurrent ones. The idea of a multiparadigm language is to increase expressiveness and problem-solving power such that the programmer can use a wide range of styles and language features from different paradigms. While the integration of constraints into general-purpose programming languages has been widely investigated for the case of logic programming, interesting solutions have been obtained as well by merging constraints and languages not based on a purely logic paradigm.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people interested in multiparadigm constraint programming, language design and implementation to communicate and discuss recent developments, work in progress, and new research directions in combining constraints with languages that are not purely logic based, like imperative, object-oriented, functional, and functional-logic languages.

This workshop addresses all aspects of multiparadigm constraint programming. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Submission

Authors are invited to submit a paper up to 15 pages in length. We encourage authors to submit papers electronically as postscript file or pdf-file (possibly compressed using gzip/winzip). Papers should be formatted using the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style.

Please send your submissions by email to multicpl02@cs.tu-berlin.de. Submissions should include the title of the paper, an abstract, authors' names, addresses, and e-mail. If you have any problems with submitting papers, please send an email to multicpl02@cs.tu-berlin.de.

Accepted papers will be available electronically from this web-page and in hard-copy proceedings (available at the workshop).

At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop. All workshop participants must pay the CP workshop registration fee.
