=========================================================================                             CALL FOR WORKSHOPS =========================================================================

The 37th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2021)

https://iclp2021.dcc.fc.up.pt/ September 20--27, 2021

Fully virtual event organized by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Porto.

=========================================================================

The ICLP conference series has a long standing tradition of hosting a rich set of co-located workshops. ICLP workshops provide a unique opportunity for the presentation and discussion of work that can be preliminary in nature, 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 2021 can cover any areas related to logic programming (e.g., theory, implementation, environments, language issues, alternative paradigms, applications), including cross-disciplinary areas. However, any relevant workshop proposal will be considered.

The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organizers, but ample time should be allowed for general discussion. Workshops can vary in length, but the optimal duration will be half a day or a full day.

Workshop Proposals ******************

Those interested in organizing a workshop at ICLP 2021 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 any related workshops held in the last years;

Proposals are expected in text or PDF format. All proposals should be submitted to the Workshop Chair by email by May 3rd, 2021.

Reviewing Process *****************

The decision will be notified by email to the responsible organizer by May 10th, 2021. 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 meeting facilities. The workshops and the conference organizers will collaborate in establishing a uniform approach to produce proficient and accessible proceedings for the workshops.
