The 36th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2020) will take place from the 18th to the 24nd of September 2020 in Rende (CS), Italy, with the main program starting immediately after the sister conference KR 2020. Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international event for presenting research in logic programming.
Contributions are solicited in all areas of logic programming and related areas, including but not restricted to:
Besides the main track, ICLP 2020 will host additional tracks and special sessions:
Every of the above four tracks will have its own dedicated chairs, PC, evaluation criteria, and CFP with related submission details (see the specific call for papers).
In addition to the presentations of accepted papers, the technical program will include invited talks, advanced tutorials, the doctoral consortium, and several workshops.
All submissions must be made via the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclp20200.
Regular papers must be in the condensed TPLP format (template here) and not exceed 14 pages including bibliography. Regular papers may be supplemented with appendices for proofs and details of datasets which do not count towards the page limit and which will not be made available as appendices to the published paper.
Three kinds of regular papers will be accepted:
Application, system, and tool papers need to be clearly marked in their title.
All submissions must be written in English and describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings.
Papers of the highest quality will be selected to be published in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP), Cambridge University Press (CUP). In order to ensure the quality of the final version, papers may be subject to more than one round of refereeing (within the decision period).
The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be published as Technical communications in EPTCS format (http://info.eptcs.org). Technical communications must not exceed 14 pages, including the bibliography. The authors of the technical communications can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts, of 2 or 3 pages, for inclusion in the EPTCS proceedings. This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere.
Authors may also consider to submit a short paper (7 pages in EPTCS format (http://info.eptcs.org), including references) describing original and unpublished work that will be considered for publication as part of the EPCTS online proceeding.
All regular papers, technical communications and short papers will be presented during the conference. So, at least one author per accepted paper is expected to register and attend the conference. Authors of accepted papers will, by default, be automatically included in the list of ALP members, who will receive quarterly updates from the Logic Programming Newsletter at no cost.
Updated information avaliable in the dedicated page.
A school on logic programming will be held before the conference. More up to date information is available at the school web page.
The 16th Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides students with the opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, and to obtain feedback from both peers and experts in the field. Accepted participants will receive partial financial support to attend the event and the main conference. The best paper from the DC will be given the opportunity to make a presentation in a session of the main ICLP conference.
The DC will have its own CFP, including the submission details. For information, please visit the DC Web Page.
The ICLP 2020 program will include several workshops. They are perhaps the best places for the presentation of preliminary work, underdeveloped novel ideas, and new open problems to an interested audience with opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaborations.
The ICLP 2020 program will include several tutorials. They offer the participants, reviews of specific subfields as well as hands-on sessions by leading experts.
