SPECIAL ISSUE OF THEORY AND PRACTICE OF LOGIC PROGRAMMING ON
COMPUTATIONAL LOGIC FOR VERIFICATION

http://tplp-clv.webs.upv.es/
------------------------------------------------------------------

The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in the use of 
computational logic methods for program validation and 
verification. For instance, verification problems for imperative 
and object oriented languages can be expressed using Constraint 
Logic Programming (CLP) and related formalisms like Constraint 
Horn Clauses (CHC). Both CLP and CHC have been recently proposed 
as appropriate intermediate languages where program analysis and 
verification techniques for different programming languages can 
be defined, proved correct, and implemented. Furthermore, a 
translation from several programming languages to either CLP or 
CHC already exist, together with efficient methods for solving 
verification problems expressed in these formalisms.

The aim of this special issue is to attract high-quality research 
papers on the interplay between verification techniques and 
computational logic. Topics of interest include, but are not 
limited, to the use of CLP, CHC, and related formalisms for 
program validation and verification. Case studies, system tools 
and challenging problems in this area are also welcome.
