This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Logic Programming, ICLP 2008, held in Udine, Italy, in December 2008. The 35 revised full papers together with 2 invited talks, 2 invited tutorials, 11 papers of the co-located first Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2008), as well as 26 poster presentations and the abstracts of 11 doctoral consortium articles were carefully reviewed and selected from 177 initial submissions. The papers cover all issues of current research in logic programming - they are organized in topical sections on applications, algorithms, systems, and implementations, semantics and foundations, analysis and transformations, CHRs and extensions, implementations and systems, answer set programming and extensions, as well as constraints and optimizations.

Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages

This volume contains the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2008). The conference took place in Udine, Italy during December 9–13, 2008. The conference focuses on the foundations, dev- opments, and applications in the area of logic programming. The ICLP series of conferences is aimed at providing a technical forum for presenting and d- seminating innovative research results in the ?eld of logic programming. The conference features technical presentations, tutorials, invited speakers, and a number of co-located events, including: – The First Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2008) – The Annual Meeting of the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG17 working group on the standardization of Prolog – The Third International Workshop on Applications of Logic Programming to (Semantic) Web and Web Services (ALPSWS'08) – The18thWorkshoponLogic-basedMethodsin ProgrammingEnvironments (WLPE 2008) – The 8th Colloquium on Implementation of Constraint Logic Programming Systems (CICLOPS 2008) – The 15th RCRA Workshop on Experimental Evaluation of Algorithms for Solving Problems with Combinatorial Explosion ICLP 2008 also featured two special events. The ?rst was the 4th ICLP Doctoral Student Consortium, an event speci?cally organized to encourage p- ticipation and interaction between doctoralstudents working in the area of logic programming. The second event was a special session celebrating 20 years of Stable Model Semantics.

This book celebratesthe 25th anniversaryof GULP—the Italian Associationfor LogicProgramming.Authored by Italian researchersat the leading edge of their ?elds, it presents an up-to-date survey of a broad collection of topics in logic programming, making it a useful reference for both researchers and students. During its 25-year existence, GULP has organised a wide range of national and international activities, including both conferences and summer schools. It has been especially active in supporting and encouraging young researchers, by providing scholarships for GULP events and awarding distinguished disser- tions. WeintheinternationallogicprogrammingcommunitylookuponGULPwith a combination of envy, admiration and gratitude. We are pleased to attend its conferences and summer schools, where we can learn about scienti?c advances, catch up with old friends and meet young students. It is an honour for me to acknowledge our appreciation to GULP for its outstanding contributions to our ?eld and to express our best wishes for its continuing prosperity in the future. March 2010 Robert Kowalski Imperial College London Preface On June 18, 1985, a group of pioneering researchers, including representatives from industry, national research labs, and academia, attended the constituent assembly of the Group of researchers and Users of Logic Programming (GULP) association. That was the starting point of a long adventure in science, that 1 we are still experiencing 25 years later. This volume celebrates this important event.

A 25-Year Perspective on Logic Programming

Ines de Castro Dutra

Inês Dutra

One of the main areas of research in logic programming is the design and implementation of sequential and parallel (constraint) logic programming systems. This research goes broadly from the design and specification of novel implementation technology to its actual evaluation in real life situations. This book includes topics such as the analysis and description of implemented systems (or currently under implementation) and their associated techniques, problems found in their development or design, and steps taken towards the solution of these problems.
