The 16th edition will be held in Dakar, Senegal. Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in Computer Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the applied. At one extreme, it underlies computability and complexity theory and the formal semantics of programming languages. At the other, it drives billions of gates every day in the digital circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic is in itself a powerful programming paradigm but it is also the quintessential specification language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to networked infrastructures. Logical techniques link implementation and specification through formal methods such as automated theorem proving and model checking. Logic is also the stuff of knowledge representation and artificial intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central role in Computer Science education. Topics ------ New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Automated reasoning * Verification * Interactive theorem proving and proof assistants * Model checking * Implementations of logic * Satisfiability modulo theories * Rewriting and unification * Logic programming * Satisfiability checking * Constraint programming * Decision procedures * Logic and the Web * Ontologies and large knowledge bases * Logic and databases * Modal and temporal logics * Program analysis * Foundations of security * Description logics * Non-monotonic reasoning * Specification using logics * Logic in artificial intelligence * Logic and types * Logical foundations of programming * Logical aspects of concurrency * Logic and computational complexity * Knowledge representation and reasoning * Logic of distributed systems Programme Chairs ---------------- * Ed Clarke * Andrei Voronkov Programme Committee ------------------- * Rajeev Alur * Matthias Baaz * Peter Baumgartner * Armin Biere * Nikolaj Bjorner * Iliano Cervesato * Agata Ciabattoni * Hubert Comon-Lundh * Nachum Dershowitz * Juergen Giesl * Guillem Godoy * Georg Gottlob * Jean Goubault-Larrecq * Reiner Haehnle * Claude Kirchner * Michael Kohlhase * Konstantin Korovin * Laura Kovacs * Orna Kupferman * Leonid Libkin * Aart Middeldorp * Luke Ong * Frank Pfenning * Andreas Podelski * Andrey Rybalchenko * Helmut Seidl * Geoff Sutcliffe * Ashish Tiwari * Toby Walsh * Christoph Weidenbach Submission Details ------------------ Submissions of two kinds are welcome: * Regular papers containing new results; * Experimental papers describing implementation or evaluation of systems.
