This book introduces a new logic-based multi-paradigm programming language that integrates logic programming, functional programming, dynamic programming with tabling, and scripting, for use in solving combinatorial search problems, including CP, SAT, and MIP (mixed integer programming) based solver modules, and a module for planning that is implemented using tabling.The book is useful for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages, PADL 2012, held in Philadelphia, PA, USA, in January 2012, co-located with POPL 2012, the 39th Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages. The 38 revised technical papers presented together with 3 application papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The volume features original work emphasizing new ideas and approaches pertaining to applications and implementation techniques of declarative languages and addresses topics such as innovative applications of declarative languages, declarative domain-specific languages and applications, practical applications of theoretical results, new language developments and their impact on applications, evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications, novel implementation techniques relevant to applications, novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom, and practical experiences.
