LPNET'97

2nd International Workshop on Logic Programming Tools for Internet Applications
Leuven, Belgium, 12/07/1997

This workshop is the second in a series intended to explore the elective affinities between Logic Programming and Internet technologies with emphasis on enhancing the World Wide Web with knowledge, deductive abilities and superior forms of interactive behavior. 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.
