SCOPE
Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been the premier
international event for presenting research in logic programming. Contributions
are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to:


* Theoretical Foundations.
* Language Design and Programming Methodologies.
** Program Analysis and Optimization.
** Implementation Methodologies.
** Related Paradigms, Integration, and Synergies.
** Applications of Logic Programming.


TRACKS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS
Besides the main track, ICLP 2023 will host additional tracks:

* Applications Track: we invite submissions of papers on emerging
and deployed applications of LP, describing all aspects of the
development, deployment, and evaluation of logic programming systems
to solve real-world problems, including interesting case studies and
benchmarks, and discussing lessons learned.
* Thematic Tracks: we invite submissions to two thematic tracks, exploring
specific roles and potential for logic programming; these thematic tracks
are:
* Logic Programming and Machine Learning
* Logic Programming and Explainability, Ethics, and Trustworthiness
* Recently Published Research Track: this track provides a forum to discuss
important results related to logic programming that appeared recently (from
January 2021 onwards) in selective journals and conferences, but have not
been previously presented at ICLP.
* System Demonstrations: we invite submissions showcasing logic programming
systems and implementations in a live setting. This track is not designed
to be sales pitches, demonstrations are a way for the community to see the
relevance, potential, and innovation of the tool and allow time for
discussion with its creator.
* Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions: we invite proposals for sessions meant
to provide an inclusive environment for colleagues with similar interests
to meet for informal discussion. Proposers of BoF sessions should serve
as discussion leaders only. BoFs are not intended to be presentations.

In addition, ICLP 2023 will host:

* Doctoral Consortium and Mentoring Sessions: the Doctoral Consortium (DC)
on Logic Programming provides students and early career researchers
with the opportunity to present and discuss their research directions,
obtain feedback from both peers and experts in the field, and participate
in mentoring sessions on how to prepare and succeed for a research career.
We will have leaders in logic programming research from academia and
industry to give invited talks on their research areas. The best paper
from the DC will be given the opportunity to make a presentation in a
session of the main ICLP conference.
* Tutorials.
* Co-located Workshops.
* Summer School on Logic Programming.
* Logic Programming Contest.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
All submissions must be written in English.
We note that papers accepted at ICLP may appear either in
* Theory and Practice of Logic Programming Journal (TPLP), or
* Technical Communication Proceeding (TC) published by Electronic
Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS)

TPLP format is described at
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-programming/information/instructions-contributors

EPTCS format is described at
http://style.eptcs.org/

All accepted papers will be presented during 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.

Expected submissions:

* For Main Track, Application Track, and Thematic Tracks:
* All papers must 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.
* Regular papers (14 pages in TPLP format, including references) The
accepted regular papers will be published in TPLP. The program
committee may recommend some regular papers to be published in
Technical Communication Proceeding (TC). In this case, the papers
will have to be reformatted into EPTCS format and not exceed 14 pages.
Authors who submitted Regular papers that were accepted as TC may
elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts (2 or 3
pages in EPTCS format). This should allow authors to submit a
long version elsewhere.
* Short papers (7 pages in EPTCS format, including references).
The accepted short papers will be published in the Technical
Communication Proceedings.
* Recently Published Research Track
* Extended abstract (2 or 3 pages in EPTCS format) describing
previously published research (from January 2021 onwards) in
selective journals and conferences, but that have not been
previously presented at ICLP. A title ‘page should be appended
to the submission with (i) details on the venue, where the original
paper appeared, (ii) a link to the original paper, (iii) a paragraph
describing why the authors believe this work warrants a presentation
at ICLP. The extended abstracts will be published in the Technical
Communication Proceedings.
* System Demonstrations and BoF Proposals
* Extended abstract (2 or 3 pages in EPTCS format). System
demonstrations should provide highlights of the novel features of
the system, along with information about how to access it. BoF
proposals should motivate the choice of the topic and its relevance
to logic programming, describe the expected audience, identify
discussion leaders and their expertise, and provide a brief
description of the activities during the BoF session. We expect
BoFs to be inclusive and involve active participation for attendees.
Describe how your BoF will use inclusive practices and foster
attendee involvement. The extended abstracts will be published in
the Technical Communication Proceedings.

Submissions will be done via EasyChair. The submission Web page for ICLP2023 is
