Preface

This volume contains the proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming (FLOPS 2004), held in Nara, Japan, April 7–9, 2004 at the New Public Hall, Nara. FLOPS is a forum for research on all issues concerning functional programming and logic programming. In particular it aims to stimulate the cross-fertilization as well as the integration of the two paradigms. The previous FLOPS meetings took place in Fuji-Susono (1995), Shonan (1996), Kyoto (1998), Tsukuba (1999), Tokyo (2001) and Aizu (2002). The proceedings of FLOPS 1999, FLOPS 2001 and FLOPS 2002 were published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, as volumes 1722, 2024 and 2441, respectively. In response to the call for papers, 55 papers were submitted by authors from Australia (1), Austria (1), Canada (1), China (4), Denmark (2), Estonia ( 12 ), France (3 12 ), Germany (4 14 ), Italy (1), Japan (15), the Netherlands (1), Oman (1), Portugal ( 12 ), Singapore (2), Spain (8), UK (3), and USA (6 14 ). Each paper was reviewed by at least three program committee members with the help of expert external reviewers. The program committee meeting was conducted electronically for a period of 2 weeks in December 2003. After careful and thorough discussion, the program comm
