Preface
This volume contains the proceedings of the Joint International Symposium
PLILP/ALP '98, which has united the Tenth PLILP (Programming Languages,
Implementations, Logics and Programs) and the Seventh ALP (Algebraic and
Logic Programming) conferences. This symposium was held in Pisa, Italy, during
September 16-18, in cooperation with the Fifth Static Analysis Symposium (SAS
'98), chaired by Giorgio Levi, and in conjunction with a number of satellite
events.
The previous PLILP meetings took place in Orldans, France (1988), Linkbping,
Sweden (1990), Passan, Germany (1991), Leuven, Belgium (1992), Tallinn, Es-
tonia (1993), Madrid, Spain (1994), Utrecht, The Netherlands (1995), Aachen,
Germany(1996), and Southampton, UK (1997). All proceedings have been pub-
lished by Springer-Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science, volumes 348,
456, 528, 631, 714, 844, 982, 1140, and 1292, respectively.
The previous ALP meetings took place in Gaussig, Germany (1988), Nancy,
France (1990), Volterra, Italy (1992), Madrid, Spain (1994), Aachen, Germany
(1996), and Southampton, UK (1997). All proceedings have been published by
Springer Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science, volumes 343, 463, 632,
850, 1139, and 1298, respectively.
The PLILP symposia traditionally aim at stimulating research in declara-
tive programming languages, and seek to disseminate insights in the relation
between the logics of those languages, implementation techniques, and the use
of these languages in constructing real programs. The ALP conferences tradi-
tionally promote the exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers from
the declarative programming communities. In addition to the standard topics,
the 98 Joint Symposium encouraged contributions also from other programming
areas, in particular from the concurrent and object-oriented fields.
The program committee met electronically during the second and third week
of May, 1998, and selected 26 papers out of 68 submissions (38%). Besides the
selected contributions, the scientific program included three invited talks, by
Charles Consel (University of Rennes/Irisa, France), Amir Pnueli (Weizmann
Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel), and Scott A. Smolka (SUNY Stony Brook,
USA). The last two presentations were shared with SAS '98. In addition, the
program included three tutorials, by Andrea Asperti (University of Bologna,
Italy), John Hannah (The Pennsylvania State University, USA), and Andrew
Pitts (University of Cambridge, UK). This volume contains all the selected pa-
pers, and the contributions (either in form of a short abstract or a full paper) of
the invited speakers and tutorialists, except for the contribution of Amir Pnueli,
which is included in the proceedings of SAS '98.
We would like to thank all those who submitted papers, for their interest in
PLILP/ALP '98, the Program Committee members and their referees, for their
careful work in the reviewing and the selection process, and the invited speakers
and tutorialists, for their contribution to the success of the symposium.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the members of the local
committee, for the effort they have invested in organizing this event.
