Final Call for Papers

------------------------------------------------------------
Fifth Workshop on Constraint Handling Rules
CHR 2008

July 14, 2008
Hagenberg, Austria

Co-located with the International Conference on
Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA 2008)
------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.uni-ulm.de/in/pm/research/events/chr2008

Introduction
------------

The Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) language has become a
major declarative specification and implementation language for
constraint reasoning algorithms and applications. Algorithms
are often specified using inference rules, rewrite rules,
sequents, proof rules or logical axioms that can be directly
written in CHR. Its clean semantics facilitates program
design, analysis and transformation. See the CHR website
(http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dtai/projects/CHR/) for more
information.

Previous Workshops on Constraint Handling Rules were organized in
May 2004 in Ulm (Germany), in October 2005 in Sitges (Spain) at
ICLP, in July 2006 in Venice (Italy) at ICALP, and in September
2007 in Porto (Portgual) at ICLP.


Topics of Interest
------------------

The workshop calls for full papers and short papers describing
ongoing work, on all aspects of CHR, including topics such as:

- (Logical) Algorithms
- Applications
- Comparisons with Related Approaches
- Constraint Solvers
- Critical Assessment
- Expressivity and Complexity
- Implementations and Optimization
- Language Extensions (Types, Modules)
- Program Analysis
- Program Transformation and Generation
- Programming Environments (Debugging)
- Programming Pearls
- Retractable Constraints
- Semantics
- Programming Tools
- Language Extensions (Debugging)


Submission Information
----------------------

All papers must be written in English and not exceed 15 pages
in Springer LNCS format. The authors are encouraged, although
not obliged, to submit their papers already in Springer LNCS
format. General information about the Springer LNCS series and
the LNCS authors' instructions are available at the Springer
LNCS/LNAI home page.

Submissions should be sent to chr2008@xxxxxxxxxx and mention
'CHR 2008 Submission' in the subject. Every submission should
include the names and e-mail addresses of the authors (with the
corresponding author indicated), the paper abstract in ASCII format
and the actual paper in postscript or PDF format. The submission
should also indicate whether it is a full paper or a short paper.

Accepted papers will be published in a technical report.
