<br>
<b>The Conference</b><br>
<br>
The 36th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2020)
will take place from the 18th September 2020 in Rende (CS), Italy.
Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has
been the premier international event for presenting research in
logic programming.<br>
<br>
<b>Scope</b><br>
=====<br>
Contributions are solicited in all areas of logic programming and
related areas, including but not restricted to:<br>
Foundations: Semantics, Formalisms, Answer-Set Programming,
Non-monotonic Reasoning, Knowledge Representation.<br>
Declarative Programming: Inference engines, Analysis, Type and
mode inference, Partial evaluation, Abstract interpretation,
Transformation, Validation, Verification, Debugging, Profiling,
Testing, Logic-based domain-specific languages, constraint
handling rules.<br>
Related Paradigms and Synergies: Inductive and Co-inductive Logic
Programming, Constraint Logic Programming, Interaction with SAT,
SMT and CSP solvers, Logic programming techniques for type
inference and theorem proving, Argumentation, Probabilistic Logic
Programming, Relations to object-oriented and Functional
programming, Description logics, Neural-Symbolic Machine Learning,
Hybrid Deep Learning and Symbolic Reasoning.<br>
Implementation: Concurrency and distribution, Objects,
Coordination, Mobility, Virtual machines, Compilation, Higher
Order, Type systems, Modules, Constraint handling rules,
Meta-programming, Foreign interfaces, User interfaces.<br>
Applications: Databases, Big Data, Data Integration and
Federation, Software Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Web
and Semantic Web, Agents, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics,
Education, Computational life sciences, Education, Cybersecurity,
and Robotics.<br>
<br>
<b>Tracks and Special Sessions</b><br>
======================<br>
Besides the main track, ICLP 2020 will host additional tracks and
special sessions:<br>
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.<br>
Sister Conferences and Journal Presentation Track: This track
provides a forum to discuss important results related to logic
programming that appeared recently (from January 2017 onwards) in
selective journals and conferences but have not been previously
presented at ICLP.<br>
Special Session: Women in Logic Programming: This special session
will include invited talks and presentations by women in logic
programming.<br>
Research Challenges in Logic Programming Track: This track invites
submissions of papers describing research challenges that an
individual researcher or a research group is currently attacking.
The goal of the track is to promote discussions, exchange of
ideas, and possibly stimulate new collaborations. Papers submitted
to this track do not go through the usual review and will not be
published in the proceedings – they will be distributed at the
conference as a technical report.<br>
Every of the above four tracks will have its own dedicated chairs,
PC, evaluation criteria, and CFP with related submission details
(see the specific call for papers). In addition to the
presentations of accepted papers, the technical program
will include invited talks, advanced tutorials, the doctoral
consortium, and several workshops.<br>
<br>
<b>Submission Details</b><br>
=================<br>
All submissions must be made via the EasyChair conference system: <a
href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclp20200"
target="_blank">https://easychair.org/<wbr>conferences/?conf=iclp20200</a>.
Regular papers must be in the condensed TPLP format (template
here) and not exceed 14 pages including bibliography. Regular
papers may be supplemented with appendices for proofs and details
of datasets which do not count towards the page limit and which
will not be made available as appendices to the published paper.<br>
<br>
Three kinds of regular papers will be accepted:<br>
• Technical papers for technically sound, innovative ideas that
can advance the state of logic programming;<br>
• Application papers that impact interesting application domains;<br>
• 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.<br>
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.<br>
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).<br>
The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be
published as Technical communications in EPTCS format (<a
href="http://info.eptcs.org/" target="_blank">http://info.eptcs.org</a>).
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.<br>
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.</p>
