Oz is a concurrent programming language providing for functional,
object-oriented, and constraint programming. Its novel features bear a
high potential of new solutions to problems that require complex
symbolic computation, such as natural language processing, spoken
language processing, multi-agent systems, and constraint satisfaction
problems.

The workshop is intended to provide a forum for Oz users, Oz
developers, and Oz newcomers alike. There will be plenty of time to
get in touch with experienced Oz programmers, discuss existing and
envisioned applications and get first-hand information on future
developments.
