========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================================= The 37th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2021) https://iclp2021.dcc.fc.up.pt/ Fully virtual event organized by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Porto. Besides the main track, ICLP 2021 will host additional tracks and special sessions. In attach, follows the CFP for the Applications Track and for the Recently Published Research Track. ========================================================================= 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 2021 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 2019 onwards) in selective journals and conferences, but have not been previously presented at ICLP. Each track will have its own dedicated chairs, PC and evaluation criteria. The attached CFPs specify the submission details. ICLP 2021 will also host: ** MentorLP - Mentoring Workshop on Logic Programming: the purpose of MentorLP is to support students and newcomers to pursue careers in logic programming research. This workshop will hold technical sessions on cutting-edge research in logic programming, and 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 talks on their research areas. We will also have live discussions among participants on how to overcome challenges and make contributions to the research community. MentorLP is dedicated to fostering and supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion. We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups to attend. ** Fall School on Logic and Constraint Programming: the school is suited for those who wish to learn advanced topics in logic programming and constraint programming. It will consist of a series of half-day tutorials. ** Doctoral Consortium: the Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides students with the opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, and to obtain feedback from both peers and experts in the field. 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 (regular papers): May 3, 2021 ** Paper submission (regular paper): May 10, 2021 ** Notification to authors (regular paper): June 27, 2021 ** Paper Submission (short papers): July 4, 2021 *+ Revision submission (TPLP papers): July 14, 2021 ** Final notifications (all paper kinds): July 30, 2021 ** Camera-ready copy due (all paper kinds): August 10, 2021 ** Conference: September 20--27, 2021 Submission Details ****************** Expected submissions to the main track (for the additional tracks, please follow the specific CFP): ** Regular papers (14 pages in TPLP format, including references) 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. The accepted regular papers will be published in TPLP, along with the selected ICLP-TPLP papers. The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be published as technical communications (TCs), along with the selected ICLP-TC papers. The authors of the TCs can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts (2 or 3 pages) for inclusion in the proceedings. This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere. ** Short papers (7 pages in EPTCS format (http://info.eptcs.org/), including references) can describe published research. The accepted short papers that describe original and previously unpublished work will be published as TCs, along with the selected ICLP-TC papers. The accepted short papers that describe published research will be made available at the conference webpage, with the permission of the authors. All accepted regular papers and technical communications 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. Submissions will be done via EasyChair.
