This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Formal Methods in Macro-Biology, FMMB 2014, held in Nouméa, New Caledonia, in September 2014. The 7 revised full and 3 short papers presented together with 7 invited presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Joint ERCIM/CoLogNET International Workshop on Constraint Solving and Constraint Logic Programming, CSCLP 2003 held in Budapest, Hungary in June/July 2003. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in Topical sections on constraint solving, soft constraints, language issues, and applications.

Constraint programming is a very successful ?fth-generation software techn- ogy with a wide range of applications. It has attracted a large community of researchers that is particularly strong in Europe. In particular, constraint programming is the focus of the Working Group on Constraints of the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mat- matics (ERCIM) as well as a major interest of the European Network on C- putational Logic (CoLogNET). These groups jointly sponsored a workshop on Constraint Satisfaction and Constraint Logic Programming (CSCLP 2004) held June23-25attheEcolePolytechniqueF' ed' eraledeLausanne(EPFL)inSwitz- land. It was hosted by the Arti?cial Intelligence Laboratory of the EPFL, which is also a member of both groups.

The editors would like to take the opportunity to thank all authors and reviewers for the hard work they contributed to producing this volume.We also thank ERCIM and CoLogNET for their support of the workshop and the ?eld of constraint programming in general. We hope the reader will ?nd this volume helpful for advancing their understanding of issues in constraint programming.

The promise of the Semantic Web is to move from a Web of data to a Web of meaning and distributed services. This vision of the Web has attracted - searchersfromdi?erent horizonswith the aims of de?ning newarchitecturesand languages necessary to make it possible, and of developing the ?rst applications of these concepts. This book contains the articles selected for publication and presentation at the workshop "Principles and Practice of Semantic Web Reasoning" PPSWR 2005, together with three invited talks. Three major aspects of Semantic Web research are represented in this selection: architecture issues, language issues, and reasoning methods. These advances are investigated in the context of new design principles and challenging applications. ThePPSWR2005workshopwaspartoftheDagstuhlseminarontheSem- tic Web organizedby F. Bry (Univ. Munchen, Germany),F. Fages (INRIA Roc- .. quencourt, France), M. Marchiori (MIT, Cambridge, USA) and H.-J. Ohlbach (Univ. Munchen, Germany),held in Dagstuhl, Germany,11-16September 2005...It was supported by the European Network of Excellence REWERSE (Reas- ing on the Web with Rules and Semantics, http://rewerse.net).This four-year project includes 27 European research and development organizations, and is intended to bolster Europe's expertise in Web reasoning systems and appli- tions.Itconsistsofeightmainworkinggroups:"RuleMarkupLanguage","Policy Language, Enforcement, Composition","Composition and Typing","Reasoning- Aware Querying","Evolution","Time and Location","Adding Semantics to the Bioinformatics Web", and "Personalized Information Systems". The papers in this volume re?ect most of the topics investigated in REWERSE; one third of them come from outside REWERSE.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed and extended post-proceedings of the Joint ERCIM/CoLogNet International Workshop on Constraint Solving and Constraint Logic Programming, CSCLP 2005. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on global constraints, search and heuristics, language and implementation issues, and modeling.

• Semantic caching • Data warehousing and semantic data mining • Spatial, temporal, multimedia and multimodal semantics • Semantics in data visualization • Semantic services for mobile users • Supporting tools • Applications of semantic-driven approaches These topics are to be understood as specifically related to semantic issues. Contributions submitted to the journal and dealing with semantics of data will be considered even if they are not from the topics in the list. While the physical appearance of the journal issues is like the books from the we- known Springer LNCS series, the mode of operation is that of a journal. Contributions can be freely submitted by authors and are reviewed by the Editorial Board. Contributions may also be invited, and nevertheless carefully reviewed, as in the case for issues that contain extended versions of best papers from major conferences addressing data semantics issues. Special issues, focusing on a specific topic, are coordinated by guest editors once the proposal for a special issue is accepted by the Editorial Board. Finally, it is also possible that a journal issue be devoted to a single text.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed and extended post-workshop proceedings of the 12th Annual ERCIM International Workshop on Constraint Solving and Constraint Logic Programming, CSCLP 2007, held in Rocquencourt, France, in June 2007. The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 initial submissions. The papers address all aspects of constraint and logic programming, including foundational issues, implementation techniques, new applications as well as teaching issues. Particular emphasis is placed on assessing the current state of the art and identifying future directions.

Constraint programming (CP) is a powerful programming paradigm for the declarativedescription and the e?ective solving of largecombinatorialproblems. Basedonastrongtheoreticalfoundation,itisincreasinglyattractingcommercial interest. Since the 1990s, CP has been deployed by many industry leaders, in particular to model heterogeneous optimization and satisfaction problems. - amples of application domains where such problems naturally arise, and where constraint programming has made a valuable contribution, are scheduling, p- duction planning, communication networks, routing, planning of satellite m- sions, robotics, and bioinformatics.
