The Conference -------------- The 21st International Conference on Logic Programming will be held near Barcelona (Spain) from October 2nd to October 5th, 2005. ICLP'05 will be colocated with the International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP'05). Conference scope ---------------- Since the first conference held in Marseilles in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international conference for presenting research in logic programming. Contributions (papers and posters) are sought in all areas of logic programming including but not restricted to: Theory Implementation Semantic Foundations Compilation Formalisms Memory Management Nonmonotonic Reasoning Virtual Machines Knowledge Representation Parallelism Environments Alternative Paradigms Program Analysis Constraint Logic Programming Program Transformation Abductive Logic Programming Validation and Verification Inductive Logic Programming Debugging, Profiling Answer Set Programming Language Issues Applications Concurrency Semantic Web Objects Software Engineering Coordination Web Tools Mobility Internet Agents Higher Order Artificial Intelligence Types Deductive Databases Modes Natural Language Programming Techniques Specific attention will be given to work providing novel integrations of these different areas, and to new applications of logic programming in general. Contributions on applications will be assessed with an emphasis on their impact and synergy with other areas, as opposed to technical maturity. Applications of logic programming to the Semantic Web are especially encouraged. The technical program will include several invited talks and advanced tutorials, in addition to the presentations of the accepted papers and posters. A special session on industrial applications of logic programming is also planned and several workshops will be held in parallel with the conference. For the first time, a doctoral student consortium will be organized as part of ICLP. Invited Speakers ---------------- This year, ICLP will have the following invited speakers: Ian Horrocks, University of Manchester, UK Francesca Rossi, University of Padova, Italy Peter Stuckey, University of Melbourne, Australia Papers ------- Papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. They must be written in English and not exceed 15 pages in Springer LNCS format. The authors are encouraged, although not obliged, to submit their papers already in Springer LNCS format. General information about the Springer LNCS series and the LNCS authors' instructions are available at the Springer LNCS/LNAI home page (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). Papers should express their contribution clearly, both in general and technical terms. It is essential to identify what was accomplished, describe its significance, and explain how the paper compares with and advances previous work. Authors should make every effort to make the technical content understandable to a broad audience. The primary means of submission will be electronic, in pdf format. If electronic submission is not possible, five hard copies should be sent to one of the program co-chairs. More information on the submission procedure will be available at http://www.easychair.org/ICLP2005/submit/ Industrial Papers ----------------- A special session on industrial applications of logic programming is also planned during the conference. Papers accepted in this session will describe innovative applications of logic programming to industrial problems. The application's innovativeness and industrial impact will be the main criteria used for judging the paper. Papers accepted for this session will be published in the proceedings as shorter, (up to) 10 pages papers. Posters ------- Posters provide a forum for presenting work in an informal and interactive setting. They are ideal for discussing current work not yet ready for publication, for PhD thesis summaries and research project overviews. Accepted posters will also get a 10 minute slot for presentation during the conference. Extended abstract (2 pages) of each accepted poster will be published in the proceedings. Posters must be submitted electronically. More information on the submission procedure will be available at http://www.easychair.org/ICLP2005/submit/ Doctoral Student Consortium --------------------------- The Doctoral Consortium will provide an opportunity for students pursuing their doctoral thesis in logic programming and related areas to explore their research interests under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field. The Doctoral Consortium will also offer invited speakers and discussion groups. The Consortium will allow participants to interact with established researchers and with other students, through presentations, question-answer sessions, panel discussions, and invited presentations. A separate call-for-participation will be issued for the doctoral consortium. About 6 to 8 students will be selected for the consortium. Selected students will also present their research in the poster session. The abstract of the poster will be published in the conference proceedings. Financial support for selected students may be available. Publication ----------- The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. The proceedings will include the accepted papers and the abstracts of accepted posters. Sponsoring and prizes --------------------- The conference is sponsored by the Association for Logic Programming. The ALP has funds to assist financially disadvantaged participants. The ALP is planning to sponsor two prizes for ICLP'05: for the best technical paper and for the best application paper.
