We invite high quality contributions on different aspects of declarative programming, constraint processing and knowledge management, as well as their use for distributed systems and the Web, including, but not limited to the following areas (the order does not reflect any priorities):

knowledge management, e.g., data mining, decision support, deductive databases;
distributed systems and the Web, e.g., agents and concurrent engineering, Semantic Web;
constraints, e.g., constraint systems, extensions of constraint (logic) programming;
theoretical foundations, e.g., deductive databases, nonmonotonic reasoning, knowledge representation;
systems and tools for academic and industrial use;
knowledge-based Web services - logic solvers and applications.

This year, INAP consists of the following four tracks, covering relevant subareas of declarative methods:

Nonmonotonic Reasoning
Applications and System Implementations
Extensions of Logic Programming
Databases, Deductive Databases, and Data Mining

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit long papers (no longer than 15 pages) or short papers (no longer than 6 pages) in the following categories:

Technical Papers
Application Papers
System Descriptions

Submissions must be unpublished original work and not submitted for publication elsewhere. However, work that already appeared in informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted too. All submissions must be in PDF format using LaTeX2e and the Springer llncs.cls class file. Paper submission is electronic via the Easychair submission system.

All accepted papers will be published in a technical report. As for previous joint INAP/WLP events, it is planned to publish selected papers in a post-conference proceedings volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.
