In memory of Alain Colmerauer who left us on May 13, 2017, and to whom LTC 2017
is dedicated, we organize a special session, for which contributions that rely
or extend his work, as well concerning himself are solicited.
These contributions can be research as well as state of the art papers,
mini-tutorials or demos. Besides papers on new results we will highly 
appreciate
contributions reporting on author's former results (already published or not),
often remaining unknown to the large public, in particular those that directly
refer to the work of Alain Colmeauer and/or his students. Also critical
and comparative studies concerning logic programing versus other programming
paradigms are welcome.

We will consider:
papers,
posters,
demos,
and other forms.

We plan a post-conference publication of peer reviewed full papers within
6 month after the conference (more details will be announced).

Authors who wish to contribute to the Alain Colmerauer Session must submit
an abstract according to the standard procedure indicated below and on this
web page, and to inform the LTC 2017 organizers of their intention. We also
intend an open panel discussion were we expect a wide participation.

The Alain Colmerauer Session will be fully integrated with the LTC. This means
that its program is accessible to all LTC participants, and similarly,
the participants of the Session will have access to all LTC events. However,
the session will have its own deadlines and publication policy.

Please contact the organizers writing to vetulani@amu.edu.pl
and stdizier@irit.fr (cc to k.r.apt@cwi.nl, mkubis@amu.edu.pl,
and ltc17@amu.edu.pl).

by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Adam Mickiewicz
University, Pozna?, Poland and the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation,
