****************************************************************************


The aim of the summer school is to familiarize the participants with
state-of-the-art high-level declarative programming with rules and
constraints as well as providing insights into the analysis of programs
based on these concepts. The courses cover a wide range from theory to
practice.

The summer school will be based on the advanced high-level rule-based
formalism and programming language Constraint Handling Rules (CHR)
http://constraint-handling-rules.org/



Intended Audience:

The summer school provides courses at various levels. It is open to anyone 
interested. It aims at Phd. students, but also post-docs, interested 
researchers and master students as well as interested parties from 
industry. Besides a working knowledge of English, there are no 
prerequisites. A basic knowledge of logic and Prolog that is usually 
covered in undergraduate classes could be helpful.


Lectures and Courses:

The programming language CHR will be introduced by several lecturers on the 
first day of the summer school.

- Slim Abdennadher, GUC, Egypt
         Analysis of CHR Solvers
- Henning Christiansen, U. Roskilde, Denmark
         Abduction and language processing with CHR
- Thom Fruehwirth, University Ulm, Germany
         CHR - a common platform for rule-based approaches
- Jon Sneyers, K.U.Leuven, Belgium
         Computability and Complexity of CHR
- Peter Van Weert, K.U.Leuven, Belgium
         Implementation of CHR Systems

A final evaluation for each course is possible through a final exam or 
project as determined by the instructor. The daily schedule admits 
laboratory, recitation or working group activities to be organized in 
addition to lectures.
