LPAR-21: 21ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LOGIC FOR PROGRAMMING, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND REASONING


The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year after year, some of the most renowned researchers in the areas of logic, automated reasoning, computational logic, programming languages and their applications come to present cutting-edge results, to discuss advances in these fields, and to exchange ideas in a scientifically emerging part of the world. The 21st LPAR will be held will be held in Maun, Botswana, at Cresta Riley's Hotel, 7-12th May 2017. The proceedings will be published by EasyChair Publications, in the EPiC Series in Computing. The volume will be open access and the authors will retain copyright.
Call for Papers

New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Abduction and interpolation methods
Answer set programming
Automated reasoning
Constraint programming
Contextual reasoning
Decision procedures
Description logics
Foundations of security
Hardware verification
Implementations of logic
Inconsistency- and exception tolerant reasoning
Interactive theorem proving;
Knowledge representation and reasoning
Logic and computational complexity
Logic and databases
Logic and games
Logic and machine learning
Logic and the web
Logic and types
Logic in artificial intelligence
Logic of distributed systems
Logic of knowledge and belief
Logic programming
Logical aspects of concurrency
Logical foundations of programming
Modal and temporal logics
Model checking
Non-monotonic reasoning
Ontologies and large knowledge bases
Paraconsistent logics
Probabilistic and fuzzy reasoning
Program analysis
Rewriting
Satisfiability checking
Satisfiability modulo theories
Software verification
Specification using logic
Unification theory

Submission Details

Submissions of two kinds are welcome:

Regular papers that describe solid new research results. They can be up to 15 pages long in EasyChair style, including figures, but excluding references and appendices (that reviewers are not required to read).
Experimental and tool papers that describe implementations of systems, report ;experiments with implemented systems, or compare implemented systems. They can be up to 8 pages long in the EasyChair style.

Both types of papers must be electronically submitted in PDF via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lpar21. Authors must register a title and an abstract by the abstract submission deadline.
