ACM PPDP 2008 -  Call For Participation

            10th ACM-SIGPLAN International Symposium on
        Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming

               Valencia, Spain, July 15-17, 2008

         ****  EARLY REGISTRATION: June 10 2008  ****

               http://www.dsic.upv.es/~slp2008
................................................................

SCOPE:  PPDP   2008  is  a  forum  for   the  declarative  programming
communities,  gathering researchers working  on logic,  constraint and
functional  programming,  but   also  on  other  programming  language
paradigms like visual programming, executable specification languages,
database languages, AI and  knowledge representation languages for the
"semantic web".

RELATED  EVENTS:   PPDP  2008  will   be  co-located  with   the  15th
International   Static  Analysis  Symposium   (SAS  2008),   the  18th
International   Symposium  on   Logic-Based   Program  Synthesis   and
Transformation  (LOPSTR 2008)  and the  4th International  Workshop on
Programming Language Interference and Dependence (PLID 2008).
