========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================================= The 38th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2022) https://software.imdea.org/Conferences/ICLP2022/ Haifa, Israel August 2-8, 2022 ICLP 2022 will be a physical event in Haifa, Israel Part of the FLOC 2022 https://floc2022.org/ ========================================================================= Scope ***** Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international event for presenting research in logic programming. Contributions are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to: ** Foundations:Semantics, Formalisms, Nonmonotonic reasoning, Knowledge representation. ** Languages issues: Concurrency, Objects, Coordination, Mobility, Higher order, Types, Modes, Assertions, Modules, Meta-programming, Logic-based domain-specific languages, Programming techniques. ** Programming support: Program analysis, Transformation, Validation, Verification, Debugging, Profiling, Testing, Execution visualization. ** Implementation: Compilation, Virtual machines, Memory management, Parallel/distributed execution, Constraint handling rules, Tabling, Foreign interfaces, User interfaces. ** Related Paradigms and Synergies: Inductive and coinductive logic programming, Constraint logic programming, Answer set programming, Interaction with SAT, SMT and CSP solvers, Theorem proving, Argumentation, Probabilistic programming, Machine learning. ** Applications: Databases, Big data, Data integration and federation, Software engineering, Natural language processing, Web and semantic web, Agents, Artificial intelligence, Computational life sciences, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Education. Tracks and Special Sessions *************************** Besides the main track, ICLP 2022 will host additional tracks: ** Applications Track: this track invites submissions of papers on emerging and deployed applications of LP, describing all aspects of the development, deployment, and evaluation of logic programming systems to solve real-world problems, including interesting case studies and benchmarks, and discussing lessons learned. ** Recently Published Research Track: this track provides a forum to discuss important results related to logic programming that appeared recently (from January 2020 onwards) in selective journals and conferences, but have not been previously presented at ICLP. In addition, ICLP 2022 will house: ** Doctoral Consortium and Mentoring Sessions: the Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides students and early career researchers with the opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, obtain feedback from both peers and experts in the field, and participate in mentoring sessions on how to prepare and succeed for a research career. We will have leaders in logic programming research from academia and industry to give invited talks on their research areas. The best paper from the DC will be given the opportunity to make a presentation in a session of the main ICLP conference. ** Tutorials and Co-located Workshops. Important Dates *************** ** Abstract registration: January 14, 2022 ** Paper submission: January 21, 2022 ** Notification to authors (Regular papers): March 14, 2022 ** Revision submission (TPLP papers): April 1, 2022 ** Final notifications (all paper kinds): April 30, 2022 ** Camera-ready copy due (all paper kinds): May 16, 2022 ** Conference: July 31--August 8, 2022 Submission Details ****************** We note that papers accepted at ICLP may appear either in * Theory and Practice of Logic Programming Journal (TPLP), or * Technical Communication Proceeding (TC) published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) TPLP format is described at https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-program... EPTCS format is described at http://style.eptcs.org/ All accepted papers will be presented during 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. All submissions must be written in English. Expected submissions: * For Main Track and Application Track: All papers must 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. ** Regular papers (14 pages in TPLP format, including references) The accepted regular papers will be published in TPLP. The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be published in Technical Communication Proceeding (TC). In this case, the papers will have to be reformatted into EPTCS format and not exceed 14 pages. Authors who submitted Regular papers that were accepted as TC may elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts (2 or 3 pages in EPTCS format). This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere. ** Short papers (7 pages in EPTCS format, including references). The accepted short papers will be published in the Technical Communication Proceedings. * Recently Published Research Track ** Extended abstract (2 or 3 pages in EPTCS format) describing previously published research (from January 2020 onwards) in selective journals and conferences, but that have not been previously presented at ICLP. A title page should be appended to the submission with (i) details on the venue, where the original paper appeared, (ii) a link to the original paper, (iii) a paragraph describing why the authors believe this work warrants a presentation at ICLP. The extended abstracts will be published in the Technical Communication Proceedings. Submissions will be done via EasyChair.
