========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================================= The 37th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2021) Recently Published Research Track https://iclp2021.dcc.fc.up.pt/ Fully virtual event organized by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Porto. ========================================================================= Objectives ********** The program committee of the 37th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP) invites submissions of published journal papers and papers presented at related conferences for the Recently Published Research Track. The track is designed to provide a forum to discuss important results related to logic programming that appeared since 2019 in selective journals or were presented at related conferences, but that have not been previously presented at ICLP. The goals of this track are: ** To provide authors an opportunity to present at the conference important results published in journals that might otherwise not be submitted to the conference due to their length and complexity. Papers that differ from traditional ICLP format and topics are welcome. ** To broaden the program with lines of work at the intersection between logic programming and related fields such as for example constraint programming, operations research, control, knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning, multi-agent systems, robotics, computer games, and cognitive science. Papers that use logic programming in some innovative way are welcome. Paper Presentation ****************** All accepted submissions will be presented orally during the conference - at least one author is expected to register to ICLP 2021 and to present the paper in person. Complete citations and URLs of the original papers (if available from the publisher) will be published on the ICLP 2021 web site as a permanent reference. A 2-page extended abstract summarizing the line of research leading to the presented results can optionally be submitted for presentation in the technical communications of ICLP. Submission Requirements *********************** Submissions must meet the following criteria: ** Candidate papers must be published in a journal such as (but not limited to) AIJ, ACM TOCL, JAIR, or other leading journals or in the proceedings of related conferences such as KR, LPNMR, AAMAS, AAAI, IJCAI, ECAI, ICAPS, SAT, ICML, ICDT, PODS, VLDB, WWW, ISWC, ESWC, DL, JELIA, SAT, POPL, PADL, LICS, etc. ** Candidate papers must have appeared since 2019. ** Papers that are in press may be submitted as long as the final camera-ready version is available at some URL (such as, ArXiv). ** Extensions of papers that have been previously presented at ICLP (or co-located Workshops) are not eligible for this track. Submission Process ****************** All submissions will be done via EasyChair. The submission Web page for ICLP2021 is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclp2021 The submission will be in the following format: ** Title and authors of the work for the ICLP Recently Published Research Track (to be published on the Web - see note below about title and authors), ** An accompanying letter containing: ** Complete bibtex reference of the original paper (only 1 reference!) (to be published on the Web) + a URL where the paper can be downloaded from the publisher (if available) (to be published on the Web); ** An explanation of why this paper is interesting to the logic programming community (at most 1 page in PDF). ** The original paper (in PDF) (for reviewers only, it will not be posted on the Web because of copyright issues) because some reviewers could be at universities that don’t have contracts with publishers, such as, Elsevier, Cambridge Publishing, ACM, etc. ** Optional: only if the authors wish to publish an extended abstract in the technical communications of ICLP2021 please submit a 2-page extended abstract of the paper (PDF in EPTCS format http://style.eptcs.org/) for the ICLP Recently Published Research Track (note: we will ask for LaTex sources and HTML sources after the notification). Note: the 2 pages abstract should not contain new material since this is just a report of a publication in a related conference. The title should be a bit different than the original publication (since it would look odd to have a paper with the same title, but much shorter after the original publication), such as, add Report or Summary in the title. It is not necessary to radically change it. The authors should be the same and in the same order with respect to the original publication. The papers in this track will be grouped under a subsection Recently Published Research Track, so other researchers can see that this is a report on the original publication. We advise authors to start the paper with a sentence stating that this abstract is a report or summary of the original publication (with immediately citing that work). Evaluation criteria ******************* Submissions will go through a peer review selection process. Selection criteria include significance of the results and relevance to the logic programming community. Important Dates *************** ** Paper Submission: July 4, 2021 ** Final Notification: July 30, 2021 ** Camera-ready copy due: August 10, 2021 ** Conference: September 20--27, 2021 ========================================================================= Any additional questions can be directed towards the Recently Published Research Track Chairs: Gian Luca Pozzato, University of Genova, Italy Neng-Fa Zhou, CUNY Brooklyn College and Graduate Center, USA iclp2021...@easychair.org =========================================================================
========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================================= The 37th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2021) Applications Track https://iclp2021.dcc.fc.up.pt/ Fully virtual event organized by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Porto. ========================================================================= Objectives ********** Logic programming (LP) has been widely adopted as a powerful declarative programming paradigm to build a variety of applications from research projects to industrial products, including bioinformatics, natural language understanding, robotics, maritime situational awareness, etc. Motivated by such a wide range of applications, ICLP will have a special track dedicated to Applications of LP, to bring together LP researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry, to share the recent advancements, challenges and insight for LP applications. The goal of the Application Track is two-fold. On the one side, it aims at providing a fresh impulse for the LP community to recast its interests towards solving practical problems and applications. On the other side, its goal is to attract representatives from the wider academia and industrial communities to discuss their challenges related to using LP in practical problems, applications and industrial products, and their expectations from the development of theory and tools from the LP community. Expected Contributions ********************** The Applications Track at ICLP 2021 invites submissions of papers on emerging and deployed applications of LP, describing all aspects of the development, deployment, and evaluation of LP systems to solve real-world problems, including interesting case studies and benchmarks, and discussing lessons learned. We welcome LP applications in a wide range of areas, including but not limited to: ** stream reasoning ** composite event recognition ** industrial applications ** commonsense reasoning, knowledge representation ** declarative problem solving ** education ** bioinformatics, computational biology ** life sciences, genetics, medicine, pharmacology ** cognitive robotics, social robotics, human-robot interactions ** intelligent transportation, logistics, maritime situational awareness ** computer vision, sensing, internet of things ** data analysis, machine learning ** creative computing ** digital forensics, cybersecurity, blockchain ** economics, game theory, social choice ** software engineering, intelligent user interfaces ** multi-agent systems, argumentation, epistemic reasoning ** constraint programming, SAT, SMT ** natural language understanding, story telling, question answering ** explanation generation, diagnosis ** spatial/temporal/probabilistic reasoning ** planning and scheduling ** databases, ontologies, knowledge bases, Semantic Web Evaluation Criteria ******************* In addition to the usual evaluation criteria concerning the quality of the presentation, for the Applications track the criteria will include: ** Significance of the real-world problem being addressed. ** Importance and novelty of using LP technologies to solve this problem. ** Evaluation and applicability of the system in the real world. ** Clear evidence of the potential benefits of applying and improving LP tools and techniques. ** Reproducibility of the empirical analysis. Concerning reproducibility, whenever possible, datasets, case studies, knowledge repositories and benchmarks must be made public. If this is not possible (e.g, because it would reveal trade secrets of industrial partners), the paper should clearly describe which assets cannot be made reusable and why. Important Dates *************** ** Abstract registration (regular papers): May 3, 2021 ** Paper submission (regular paper): May 10, 2021 ** Notification to authors (regular paper): June 27, 2021 ** Paper Submission (short papers): July 4, 2021 ** Revision submission (TPLP papers): July 14, 2021 ** Final notifications (all paper kinds): July 30, 2021 ** Camera-ready copy due (all paper kinds): August 10, 2021 ** Conference: September 20--27, 2021 Submission Details ****************** All submissions must be written in English. ** Regular papers (14 pages in TPLP format, including references) must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere.
