ICLP 2018: International Conference on Logic Programming Oxford, UK, July 14-17, 2018 |
Conference website | http://www.logicprogramming.org/iclp2018 |
Abstract registration deadline | January 22, 2018 |
Submission deadline | January 29, 2018 |
ICLP is the premier conference on foundations and applications of logic programming, including but not restricted to answer-set programming, non-monotonic reasoning, unification and constraints based logic languages, constraint handling rules, argumentation logics, deductive databases, description logics, inductive and co-inductive logic programming.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Submissions of regular papers must be made in the condensed TPLP format via EasyChair. A regular paper must not exceed 14 pages including the bibliography, but the paper may be supplemented with appendices for proofs and details of datasets. These will not not count towards this limit and will be available as supplementary material to the published paper in the TPLP website. We accept three kinds of papers:
- Technical papers for technically sound, innovative ideas that can advance the state of logic programming;
- Application papers that impact interesting application domains;
- System and tool papers which emphasize novelty, practicality, usability,
and availability of the systems and tools described.
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 All submissions must be written in English and describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. 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 papers to be published as Technical Communications (TCs). TCs will be published by Dagstuhl Publishing in the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs). TCs must follow the OASIcs format (template available here) and not exceed 14 pages excluding the bibliography and a short appendix (up to 5 more pages). TC’s authors can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts, of 2 or 3 pages, for inclusion in the OASIcs proceedings. This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere.
Doctoral consortium position papers, of between 10 and 14 pages, will also be published as TCs.
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.
