Declarative languages allow programmers to say what they want, without worrying over the details of how to achieve it. These kinds of languages revolutionized data management decades ago but have had limited success in other aspects of computing. The story seems to be changing in recent years, however. One new chapter is work that Joe Hellerstein and his colleagues have been pursuing on the design and implementation of declarative languages and runtime systems for network protocol specification. Distributed Systems and Networking appear to be surprisingly natural domains for declarative specifications and they are ripe for a new programming methodology. (Series: CSE Colloquia - 2008)
