CONFERENCE SCOPE
Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been
the premier international conference for presenting research in logic
programming. This year conference will offer invited talks and
tutorials, as well as technical presentations on the broad spectrum of
most recent research topics in the field. The conference will also
host Doctoral Consortium, several workshops, and a Prolog programming
contest.
WORKSHOPS
* Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2012),
September 4
* 9th International Workshop on Constraint Handling Rules (CHR 2012),
September 4
* 12th International Colloquium on Implementation of Constraint and
LOgic Programming Systems (CICLOPS 2012), September 4
* WG17, September 4-5
* 22nd Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments
(WLPE 2012), September 8
* Constraint Based Methods for Bioinformatics (WCB'12), September 8
* Coinductive Logic Programming (Co-LP), September 8
Workshops are perhaps the best places for the presentation of
preliminary work, undeveloped novel ideas, and new open problems to a
wide and interested audience with opportunities for intensive
discussions and project collaboration.
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
The 8th Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides
research students with the opportunity to present and discuss their
research directions, and to obtain feedback from both peers and
world-renown experts in the field. Accepted participants receives
partial financial support to attend the event and the main
conference. The best paper and presentation from the DC is given
the opportunity to present in a special session of the main ICLP
conference.

CONFERENCE VENUE
The Conference will be located in Tulip Inn Budapest Millennium. Budapest
is in the center of Hungary, in the heart of Central Europe. Hungary is
member of the European Union and belongs to the Schengen area.

international airport is Budapest Ferihegy. Budapest is linked to 15
European capitals by train, directly or indirectly; e.g. a
Wien-Budapest trip is less than 3 hours.
SPONSORS
The conference is sponsored by the Association for Logic Programming (ALP),
the Artificial Intelligence Section of the John von Neumann Computer
Society and by AIT-Budapest (Aquincum Institute of Technology).
