Over the last few years, it has become a standard procedure in the area of Program Development not to have a separate area meeting. The area is sufficiently active in organising special events and workshops to allow for a good forum to present new work. In particular, the LOPSTR workshop and SAS, as well as more general conferences such as ICLP, ILPS, PLILP and ALP, and their post-conference workshops, have also this year provided a great number of talks on interesting new contributions to the area.

On the most specific of these meetings, you find a report in this section, as well as a preliminary call for papers for the next LOPSTR. You also find two project reports: one on the Esprit Basic Research project DiSCiPl and one on joint work of Leeds and Kent Universities. Futhermore, the section includes a group description for the Logic Programming group at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
