Students at any stage in their = doctoral studies are encouraged to apply for participation in the DC. Appli= cants are expected to conduct research in areas related to logic and constr= aint programming; topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Theoretical Foundations of Logic and Constraint Logic Programming * Sequential and Parallel Implementation Technology * Static and Dynamic Analysis, Abstract Interpretation, Compilation Tec= hnology, Verification * Logic-based Paradigms (e.g., Answer Set Programming, Concurrent Logic= Programming, Inductive Logic Programming) * Innovative Applications of Logic Programming Submissions by students who have presented their work at previous ICLP DC e= ditions are allowed, but should occur only if there are substantial changes= or improvements to the student's work. The DC offers participants a conven= ient, more informal way to interact with established researchers and fellow= students, through presentations, question-answer sessions, panel discussio= ns, and invited presentations. The Doctoral Consortium will also provide th= e possibility to reflect - through short activities, information sessions, = and discussions - on the process and lessons of research and life in academ= ia. Each participant will give a short, critiqued, research presentation. Discussants Renowned experts and researchers in the fields of logic and constraint prog= ramming will join in evaluating submissions and will participate in the DC,= providing valuable feedback to DC participants. Goals * To provide doctoral students working in the fields of logic and const= raint programming with a friendly and open forum to present their research = ideas, listen to ongoing work from peer students, and receive constructive = feedback. * To provide students with relevant information about important issues = for doctoral candidates and future academics. * To develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collabo= rative research. * To support a new generation of researchers with information and advic= e on academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional career paths. Submission Details The DC is designed for students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, howe= ver Master's students who are actively involved in research (please see the= list of topics below) can also participate in the DC program.

Students at any= stage in their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply for participation in the DC. Applicants are expected t= o conduct research in areas related to logic and constraint programming; to= pics of interest include (but are not limited to):
  • Theoretical Foundations of Logic and Constraint Logic Progra= mming
  • Sequential and Parallel Implementation Technology<= /li>
  • Static and Dynamic Analysis, Abstract Interpretation, Co= mpilation Technology, Verification
  • Logic-based Paradigms= (e.g., Answer Set Programming, Concurrent Logic Programming, Inductive Log= ic Programming)
  • Innovative Applications of Logic Program= ming
Submissions by students who have presented their work at pr= evious ICLP DC editions are allowed, but should occur only if there are sub= stantial changes or improvements to the student's work. The DC offers parti= cipants a convenient, more informal way to interact with established researchers and fellow students, through = presentations, question-answer sessions, panel discussions, and invited pre= sentations. The Doctoral Consortium will also provide the possibility to re= flect - through short activities, information sessions, and discussions - on the process and lessons of rese= arch and life in academia. Each participant will give a short, critiqued, r= esearch presentation.

Discussants

Renowned experts and researchers in the fields of logic and= constraint programming will join in evaluating submissions and will partic= ipate in the DC, providing valuable feedback to DC participants. 

Goals
  • To provide doctoral students working in the fields of logic = and constraint programming with a friendly and open forum to present their = research ideas, listen to ongoing work from peer students, and receive cons= tructive feedback.
  • To provide students with relevant inf= ormation about important issues for doctoral candidates and future academic= s.
  • To develop a supportive community of scholars and a s= pirit of collaborative research.
  • To support a new genera= tion of researchers with information and advice on academic, research, indu= strial, and non-traditional career paths.
Submission Details

The DC is designed for students currently enrolled in a Ph.= D. program, however Master's students who are actively involved in research= (please see the list of topics below) can also participate in the DC progr= am.
Applicants are expected to conduct research in areas relate= d to logic and constraint programming.

Topics included, but not limited to:
  • Foundations: Semantics, Formalisms, Nonmonotonic reasoning, = Knowledge representation.
  • Languages: Concurrency, Object= s, Coordination, Mobility, Higher Order, Types, Modes, Assertions, Modules,= Meta-programming, Logic-based domain-specific languages, Programming Techn= iques.
  • Declarative programming: Declarative program deve= lopment, Analysis, Type and mode inference, Partial evaluation, Abstract in= terpretation, Transformation, Validation, Verification, Debugging, Profilin= g, Testing, Execution visualization.
  • Implementation: Vir= tual machines, Compilation, Memory management, Parallel/distributed executi= on, Constraint handling rules, Tabling, Foreign interfaces, User interfaces= .
  • Related Paradigms and Synergies: Inductive and Co-indu= ctive Logic Programming, Constraint Logic Programming, Answer Set Programmi= ng, Interaction with SAT, SMT and CSP solvers, Logic programming techniques= for type inference and theorem proving, Argumentation, Probabilistic Logic Programming, Relations to object-orient= ed and Functional programming.
  • Applications: Databases, = Big Data, Data integration and federation, Software engineering, Natural la= nguage processing, Web and Semantic Web, Agents, Artificial intelligence, C= omputational life sciences, Education, Cybersecurity, and Robotics.
Submissions of the research summary must be made in OpenAcc= ess Series in Informatics (OASIcs) format (template available here) and sub= mitted via EasyChair. Accepted DC papers will be published as technical com= munications (TCs) by Dagstuhl Publishing in the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs). All papers must be writt= en in English and should be between 5 and 10 pages. For all accepted DC pap= ers, the student is required to attend the DC program and give a presentati= on of 20 minutes followed by discussions. A program committee consisting of experts in various areas related to logi= c and constraint programming reviews the submissions. Papers are reviewed b= y at least two, and usually three, referees.

The submission package should consist of the research summa= ry in the OASIcs format mentioned above and the additional documents mentio= ned below in the financial support section - all students must submit these= documents even if they don't apply for financial aid (a short vita or cover letter of the applicant, a letter= of recommendation from applicant's faculty advisor, and one paragraph stat= ement outlining how the school will benefit the applicant). All material is= to be submitted electronically, in PDF format on the Easychair system.

Research summary (make sure to include your complete name, = address, and affiliation):
The body of your research summary (no more than 10 pages, b= ut 5 is fine as well!) should provide a clear overview of your research, it= s potential impact, and its current status. You are encouraged to include t= he following sections:
  • Introduction and problem description
  • Back= ground and overview of the existing literature
  • Goal of t= he research
  • Current status of the research
  • Preliminary results accomplished (if any)
  • Open iss= ues and expected achievements
  • Bibliographical references=  

Review Criteria

The DC program committee will select participants based on = their anticipated contribution to the DC objectives. Participants typically= have settled on their thesis directions and have their research proposal a= ccepted by their thesis committee. Students will be selected based on clarity and completeness of their submi= ssion package, relevance of their research area w.r.t. the focus of ICLP, s= tage of research, recommendation letter, and evidence of promise towards a = successful career in research and academia, such as published papers or technical reports.

Financial Support

Students are invited to submit to the Doctoral Consortium (= within the submission deadline) to receive financial assistance. A number o= f scholarships for students that cover local expenses for the duration of t= he DC and school are available. To apply for these scholarships, students should submit the following informa= tion as part of their DC application:
  • A short vita or cover letter of the applicant, containing:
  • Full name of school and department to which you are affil= iated
  • Name(s) of your supervising professor(s)
  • Title of your research work and keywords pertinent to your resear= ch
  • Current stage in your program of study (e.g. Ph.D./MS= student, start date)
  • Contact information: full name, ad= dress, telephone number, and email address
  • URL of your w= eb page (if any)
  • One paragraph statement outlining how t= he school will benefit the applicant.
  • A letter of recomm= endation from applicant's graduate or thesis advisor. Please invite your ad= viser(s) to give an indication of the current status of your research and o= f the expected date of thesis submission. In addition, your adviser(s) shou= ld briefly describe what she/he hopes you to gain from participation in the D= C. The letter from the advisor should also certify that the applicant is a = full-time student.

There are other sponsorship opportunities, but they are ind= ividual:
