The Journal of Logic Programming
Special Issue on
``Logic Programming and the INTERNET''
Call for Submissions
The paradigm shift to highly interconnected computers and distributed
programming tools has attracted attention to the fact that
(constraint) logic programming languages may offer a unique
opportunity to contribute to practical Internet application
development. Simplicity, remote executability, robustness, and automatic
memory management, are among the features some LP languages share with
emerging tools like Java. Superior meta-programming and high-level
distributed programming programming facilities, built-in grammars and
dynamic databases, and declarative semantics are among their competitive
advantages.
This special issue invites papers which explore new insights on
emerging net technologies provided by logic and constraint logic
programming, as well as novel aspects of the use of these programming
paradigms and their associated tools for developing practical
Internet applications.
