Researchers interested in research in computational logic are 
invited to attend the 2016 Autumn School. The 2-day school is 
suited for those who wish to learn advanced topics in computational 
logic and logic programming. It will consist of four half-day 
tutorials on the following topics:

1. Constraint Logic Programming
       Lecturer: Roman Bartak, Charles University, Czech Republic

2. Language processing through logic grammars and constraints
       Lecturer: Veronica Dahl, Simon Fraser University, Canada

3. Answer Set Programming: foundations and applications
       Lecturer: Torsten Schaub, University of Potsdam, Germany

4. Verification and probabilistic programming
       Lecturer: C.R. Ramakrishnan, SUNY Stony Brook, USA

A number of scholarships for students that cover local expenses for the 
duration of the school are available. To apply for these scholarships, 
students should also register to the Doctoral Consortium and send the 
following information to German Vidal at gvidal at dsic.upv.es by July 20th:
- A short vita of the applicant.
- A letter of recommendation from applicant's faculty advisor.
- A one paragraph statement outlining how the school will benefit the applicant.
The letter from the advisor should also certify that the applicant is a 
full-time student.
