Practical Aspects Of Declarative Languages: 4th International Symposium, Padl 2002, Portland, Or, Usa, January 19-20, 2002 : Proceedings Padl 2002 Padl 2002

Declarative Languages Build On Sound Theoretical Bases To Provide Attractive Frameworks For Application Development. These Languages Have Been Succe- Fully Applied To A Wide Variety Of Real-world Situations Including Database M- Agement, Active Networks, Software Engineering, And Decision-support Systems. New Developments In Theory And Implementation Expose Fresh Opportunities. At The Same Time, The Application Of Declarative Languages To Novel Problems Raises Numerous Interesting Research Issues. These Well-known Questions Include Scalability, Language Extensions For Application Deployment, And Programming Environments. Thus, Applications Drive The Progress In The Theory And Imp- Mentation Of Declarative Systems, And In Turn Bene?t From This Progress. The International Symposium On Practical Applications Of Declarative L- Guages (padl) Provides A Forum For Researchers, Practitioners, And Implementors Of Declarative Languages To Exchange Ideas On Current And Novel Application - Eas And On The Requirements For E?ective Use Of Declarative Systems. The Fourth Padl Symposium Was Held In Portland, Oregon, On January 19 And 20, 2002.
