Call for Papers
------------------------------------------------------------
Twenty first International Conference on Logic Programming
ICLP'05
2-5 October, 2004
Sitges (Barcelona) Spain
Co-located with the International Conference on
Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP'05)
------------------------------------------------------------

The Conference
--------------
The 21st International Conference on Logic Programming will be held
near Barcelona (Spain) from October 2nd to October 5th, 2005. ICLP'05
will be colocated with the International Conference on Principles and
Practice of Constraint Programming (CP'05).
Conference scope
----------------
Since the first conference held in Marseilles in 1982, ICLP has been
the premier international conference for presenting research in logic
programming. Contributions (papers and posters) are sought in all
areas of logic programming including but not restricted to:
Theory Implementation
Semantic Foundations Compilation
Formalisms Memory Management
Nonmonotonic Reasoning Virtual Machines
Knowledge Representation Parallelism
Environments Alternative Paradigms
Program Analysis Constraint Logic Programming
Program Transformation Abductive Logic Programming
Validation and Verification Inductive Logic Programming
Debugging, Profiling Answer Set Programming
Language Issues Applications
Concurrency Semantic Web
Objects Software Engineering
Coordination Web Tools
Mobility Internet Agents
Higher Order Artificial Intelligence
Types Deductive Databases
Modes Natural Language
Programming Techniques
Specific attention will be given to work providing novel integrations
of these different areas, and to new applications of logic programming
in general. Contributions on applications will be assessed with an
emphasis on their impact and synergy with other areas, as opposed to
technical maturity. Applications of logic programming to the Semantic
Web are especially encouraged.
The technical program will include several invited talks and advanced
tutorials, in addition to the presentations of the accepted papers and
posters. A special session on industrial applications of logic
programming is also planned and several workshops will be held in
parallel with the conference. For the first time, a doctoral student
consortium will be organized as part of ICLP.
Papers
-------
Papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and
must not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. They
must be written in English and not exceed 15 pages in Springer LNCS
format. The authors are encouraged, although not obliged, to submit
their papers already in Springer LNCS format. General information
about the Springer LNCS series and the LNCS authors' instructions are
available at the Springer LNCS/LNAI home page
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).
Papers should express their contribution clearly, both in general and
technical terms. It is essential to identify what was accomplished,
describe its significance, and explain how the paper compares with and
advances previous work. Authors should make every effort to make the
technical content understandable to a broad audience.
The primary means of submission will be electronic, in pdf format. If
electronic submission is not possible, five hard copies should be sent
to one of the program co-chairs. More information on the submission
procedure will be available at http://www.utdallas.edu/ICLP05
Industrial Papers
-----------------
A special session on industrial applications of logic programming is
also planned during the conference. Papers accepted in this session
will describe innovative applications of logic programming to
industrial problems. The application's innovativeness and industrial
impact will be the main criteria used for judging the paper. Papers
accepted for this session will be published in the proceedings as
shorter, (up to) 10 pages papers.
Posters
-------
Posters provide a forum for presenting work in an informal and
interactive setting. They are ideal for discussing current work not
yet ready for publication, for PhD thesis summaries and research
project overviews. Accepted posters will also get a 10 minute slot
for presentation during the conference. Extended abstract (2 pages)
of each accepted poster will be published in the proceedings.
Posters must be submitted electronically. More information on the
submission procedure will be available at
http://www.utdallas.edu/ICLP05
Doctoral Student Consortium
---------------------------
The Doctoral Consortium will provide an opportunity for students
pursuing their doctoral thesis in logic programming and related areas
to explore their research interests under the guidance of a panel of
distinguished experts in the field. The Doctoral Consortium will also
offer invited speakers and discussion groups. The Consortium will
allow participants to interact with established researchers and with
other students, through presentations, question-answer sessions, panel
discussions, and invited presentations.
A separate call-for-participation will be issued for the doctoral
consortium. About 6 to 8 students will be selected for the consortium.
Selected students will also present their research in the poster
session. The abstract of the poster will be published in the
conference proceedings. Financial support for selected students may be
available.
Publication
-----------
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag
in the LNCS series. The proceedings will include the accepted papers
and the abstracts of accepted posters.
Sponsoring and prizes
---------------------
The conference is sponsored by the Association for Logic Programming.
The ALP has funds to assist financially disadvantaged participants.
The ALP is planning to sponsor two prizes for ICLP'05: for the best
technical paper and for the best application paper.
