ICLP'08, the 24rd International Conference on Logic Programming, will be held in Udine (Italy), from December 9 to 13, 2008.
Workshops co-located with
international conferences are one of the best venue for the presentation and discussion of preliminary work or novel ideas, and new open problems to a wide and interested audience. Co-located workshops also provide an opportunity for presenting specialized topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaboration. The topics of the workshops co-located with ICLP'08 can cover any areas related to logic programming, (e.g., theory, implementation, environments,
language issues, alternative paradigms, applications) including cross-disciplinary areas. However, any workshop proposal will be considered.
The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organizers, but ample time must be allowed for general discussion. Workshops can vary in length, but the optimal duration will be half a day or a full day.
Workshop Proposal: ==================
Those interested in organizing a workshop at ICLP'08 are invited to submit a workshop proposal. Proposals should be in English and about two pages in length. They should contain:
* The title of the workshop. * A brief technical description of the topics covered by the workshop. * A discussion of the timeliness and relevance of the workshop. * A list of some related workshops held in the last years * The (preliminary) required number of half-days allotted to the workshop and an estimate
of the number of expected attendees. * The names, affiliation and contact details (email, web page, phone, fax) of the workshop organizer(s) together with a designated contact person. * The previous experiences of the workshop organizing committee in workshop/conference organization.
Proposals are expected in ASCII or PDF format. All proposals should be submitted to the Workshop Chair (Tran Cao Son) by email (tson
at cs dot nmsu dot edu) by June 2nd, 2008.
Reviewing Process: ==================
Each submitted proposal is reviewed by the Workshops Chair and the Conference Program Chairs. Proposals that appear well-organized and that fit the goals and scope of ICLP will be selected. The decision will be notified by email to the responsible organizer by June 15, 2008.
The definitive length of the workshop will be planned
according to the number of submissions received by the different workshops. For every accepted workshop, the ICLP local organizers will prepare a meeting place and can print the workshop proceedings, whose LaTeX preparation is however in charge to the workshop organizers. The workshop registration fees will be handled together with the conference fees.
* Producing a "Call for Papers"
for the workshop and posting it on the net and/or other means. Please provide a web page URL which can be linked into the ICLP'08 home page by July 15th, 2008. * Providing a brief description of the workshop for the conference program. * Reviewing/accepting submitted papers. * Scheduling workshop activities in collaboration with the local organizers and the workshop chair. * Sending workshop program
and workshop proceedings in pdf format to the workshop chair for printing (deadline to be defined) * The use of the Computing Research Repository (CoRR) for the workshop proceedings is strongly suggested (see http://www.logicprogramming.org/ [Guidelines for electronic publishing of proceedings])
Location: =========
All workshops will take place
