The colloquium on Principles, Logics, and Implementations of high-level
programming languages is a collection of conferences and workshops aimed at
the advancement of high-level programming languages. The first edition of
PLI will be held in September 1999 in Paris and will bring together two
popular conferences ICFP and PPDP (previously known as PLILP/ALP) focused on
functional and declarative programming languages, and a collection of
related satellite events.


PLI 99 comprises the following conferences and workshops: 

   ICFP    International Conference on Functional Programming 
   PPDP    Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming


Two-day workshops: 

   HOOTS   Higher-Order Operational Techniques in Semantics 
   IDL     Implementation of Declarative Languages 


One-day workshops: 

   COCL     Component-based Software Development in Computational Logic 
   DPS      Declarative Programming with Sets 
   FDPE     Functional and Declarative Programming in Education 
   HASKELL  workshop 
   LFM      Logical Frameworks and Meta-languages 
   OOSDS    Object-oriented Specification Techniques for
            Distributed Systems and Behaviours 
   WAAAPL   Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Advanced Programming Languages 


                              ----------------


A detailed presentation of the conference including a preliminary program,
registration and accomodation information and forms are all avalaible at the
