ICLP 2012, the 28th International Conference on Logic Programming, will
be held in Budapest, Hungary, from September 4 to 8, 2012.
Workshops collocated with an international conference are one of the
best venues for the presentation and discussion of preliminary work,
novel ideas, and new open problems to a wide and interested audience.
Collocated workshops also provide an opportunity for presenting
specialized topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and
project collaboration. The topics of the workshops collocated with
ICLP 2012 can cover any areas related to logic programming, (e.g.,
theory, implementation, environments, language issues, alternative
paradigms, applications), including cross-disciplinary areas. However,
any workshop proposal will be considered.
The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organizers, but
ample time should be allowed for general discussion. Workshops can
vary in length, but the optimal duration will be half a day or a full
day.
Workshop Proposal:
==================
Those interested in organizing a workshop at ICLP 2012 are invited to
submit a workshop proposal. Proposals should be in English and about
two pages in length. They should contain:
* The title of the workshop.
* A brief technical description of the topics covered by the workshop.
* A discussion of the timeliness and relevance of the workshop.
* A list of some related workshops held in the last years

workshop/conference organization.
Proposals are expected in ASCII or PDF format. All proposals should be

Conference Program Chairs. Proposals that appear well-organized and
that fit the goals and scope of ICLP will be selected. The decision
will be notified by email to the responsible organizer by February 26,
2012.
The definitive length of the workshop will be planned according to the
number of submissions received by the different workshops. For every
accepted workshop, the ICLP local organizers will prepare a meeting
place and arrange the distribution of the workshop proceedings

by the workshop organizers. Any workshop registration fees will be
handled together with the conference fees.
