Call For Participation

Tenth International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming
FLOPS 2010

April 19-21, 2010
Sendai, JAPAN

http://www.kb.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp/flops2010/


** Early registration ends on April 2, 2010 **


FLOPS is a forum for research on all issues concerning declarative
programming, including functional programming and logic programming,
and aims to promote cross-fertilization between the two paradigms.
Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji Susono (1995), Shonan
Village (1996), Kyoto (1998), Tsukuba (1999), Tokyo (2001), Aizu
(2002), Nara (2004), Fuji Susono (2006), and Ise (2008).

VENUE

The meeting will be held at the Aoba Memorial Hall, in the Aoba-yama
Campus of the Tohoku University.

REGISTRATION

The registration is now open at the Symposium home page:
http://www.kb.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp/flops2010/wiki/index.php?Registration

PROCEEDINGS

The proceedings will be published as volume 6009 of Lecture Notes in
Computer Science, Springer, and distributed at the Symposium.
