============================================================================

GENERAL

Multiparadigm programming languages combine different programming
paradigms, such as functional, logic, imperative, constraint or 
concurrent ones. The idea of a multiparadigm language is to increase 
expressiveness and problem-solving power such that the programmer 
can use a wide range of styles and language features from different 
paradigms.
	
While the integration of constraints into general-purpose programming
languages has been widely investigated for the case of logic programming, 
interesting solutions have been obtained as well by merging constraints 
and languages not based on a purely logic paradigm.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people interested 
in multiparadigm constraint programming, language design and
implementation to communicate and discuss recent developments, 
work in progress, and new research directions in combining constraints 
with languages that are not purely logic based, like imperative, 
object-oriented, functional, and functional-logic languages.

This workshop addresses all aspects of multiparadigm constraint 
programming. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Combining constraints with 
  - imperative,
  - object-oriented,
  - concurrent,
  - functional, or
  - functional logic languages, 
* Language Concepts,
* Implementation,
* Theory and Semantics,
* Applications.
