The Workshop on Practical Implementations and Systems Experience in Logic Programming was held on June 25 1993 in conjunction with the International Conference on Logic Programming in Budapest, Hungary. The workshop was devoted to implementing logic programming languages, both sequential and parallel, and related languages such as functional and object-oriented languages. The emphasis was on real-life experience with implementations: compilation, optimization, runtime kernels, performance and systems building tools, empirical performance analysis, and benchmarking.
