Three kinds of regular papers will be accepted: • Technical papers for technically sound, innovative ideas that can advance the state of logic programming; • Application papers that impact interesting application domains; • System and tool papers which emphasize novelty, practicality, usability, and availability of the systems and tools described. Application, system, and tool papers need to be clearly marked in their title. All submissions must be written in English and describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings. Papers of the highest quality will be selected to be published in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP), Cambridge University Press (CUP). In order to ensure the quality of the final version, papers may be subject to more than one round of refereeing (within the decision period). The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be published as Technical communications in EPTCS format (http://info.eptcs.org <http://info.eptcs.org/>). Technical communications must not exceed 14 pages, including the bibliography. The authors of the technical communications can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts, of 2 or 3 pages, for inclusion in the EPTCS proceedings. This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere. All regular papers and technical communications will be presented during the conference. So, at least one author per accepted paper is expected to register and attend the conference. Authors of accepted papers will, by default, be automatically included in the list of ALP members, who will receive quarterly updates from the Logic Programming Newsletter at no cost. -- -- *Dona il 5x1000* all'Università degli Studi di Sassaricodice fiscale: 00196350904

It is an interdisciplinary conference, spanning across both basic and application oriented research in mathematical logic and computer science. CSL'21 will be held on January 25-28, 2021, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, at least in principle; the current sanitary crisis will quite certainly have some impact in this respect. Submission guidelines: ---------------------- Submitted papers must be in English and must provide sufficient detail to allow the Programme Committee to assess the merits of the paper. Full proofs may appear in a clearly marked technical appendix which will be read at the reviewers' discretion. Authors are strongly encouraged to include a well written introduction which is directed at all members of the PC. The CSL 2020 conference proceedings will be published in Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs), see https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors. Authors are invited to submit contributed papers of no more than 15 pages in LIPIcs style (not including references), presenting unpublished work fitting the scope of the conference. Papers may not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings. The PC chairs should be informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or a journal. Papers authored or co-authored by members of the PC are not allowed. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper is expected to register to the conference, and present their papers, whether physically or online, depending on the situation and the available means of organisation in January 2021.

This will help us provide an interesting program, with only a light-weight selection procedure. More information below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Contributions WiL 2020: 4th Women in Logic Workshop virtual 30 June 2020 https://sites.google.com/g.uporto.pt/wil2020 <https://sites.google.com/g.uporto.pt/wil2020> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Women in Logic 2020 is part of "Paris Nord Summer of LoVe 2020" (https://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/summer-of-love-2020/ <https://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/summer-of-love-2020/>), a joint event on LOgic and VErification, made of Petri Nets 2020, IJCAR 2020, FSCD 2020, and over 20 satellite events. Following the decisions regarding the Paris Nord Summer of LoVe 2020 event, the organisers of WIL 2020 decided to hold the meeting virtually. The Women in Logic workshop (WiL) provides an opportunity to increase awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the area of logic in computer science. Its main purpose is to promote the excellent research done by women, with the ultimate goal of increasing their visibility and representation in the community. Our aim is to: - provide a platform for female researchers to share their work and achievements; - increase the feelings of community and belonging, especially among junior faculty, post-docs and students through positive interactions with peers and more established faculty; - establish new connections and collaborations; - foster a welcoming culture of mutual support and growth within the logic research community. We believe these aspects will benefit women working in logic and computer science, particularly early-career researchers. Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavik, Iceland 2017, Oxford, UK 2018 and Vancouver, Canada 2019) were very successful in showcasing women's work and as catalysts for recognition of the need for change in the community. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: automata theory, automated deduction, categorical models and logics, concurrency and distributed computation, constraint programming, constructive mathematics, database theory, decision procedures, description logics, domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability, games and logic, higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear logic, logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming, logical aspects of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational complexity, logical aspects of quantum computation, logical frameworks, logics of programs, modal and temporal logics, model checking, probabilistic systems, process calculi, programming language semantics, proof theory, real-time systems, reasoning about security and privacy, rewriting, type systems and type theory, and verification.
