First CALL FOR PAPERS

26th Workshop on Logic Programming
(WLP 2012)

http://wlp.iai.uni-bonn.de/

Bonn, Germany, September 24-26, 2012

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The workshops on (constraint) logic programming serve as the scientific forum
of the annual meeting of the Society of Logic Programming (GLP, Gesellschaft
fuer Logische Programmierung e.V.). They bring together researchers interested
in logic programming, constraint programming, and related areas like databases,
artificial intelligence, and operations research. Previous workshops have been
held in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Egypt.

Contributions are welcome on all theoretical, experimental, and
application aspects of constraint programming (CP) and logic
programming (LP), including, but not limited to the following areas:

* foundations of constraint/logic programming
* constraint solving and optimization
* extensions: functional logic programming, objects
* deductive databases, data mining
* nonmonotonic reasoning
* dynamics, updates, states, transactions
* interaction of CP/LP with other formalisms like agents, XML, JAVA
* program analysis, program transformation, program verification,
meta programming
* parallelism and concurrency
* answer-set programming
* implementation techniques
* software techniques and programming support (e.g., types,
modularity, design patterns, debugging, testing,
systematic program development).
* applications of logic programming;
* CP/LP for the Semantic Web.

The primary focus is on new and original research results but
submissions describing innovative products, prototypes under
development, interesting experiments (e.g., benchmarks) or ongoing
scientific work are also encouraged.


Submission
==========
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract (no longer than 10
pages including figures and references) or a system description (no
longer than 3 pages) in PDF or Postscript format (11pt) before August

All submissions must be unpublished original work. However, Work
that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops
proceedings may be submitted, too. All accepted papers will be published
in a technical report.
