ICLP 2012, the 28th International Conference on Logic Programming, will

be held in Budapest, Hungary, from September 4 to 8, 2012.

Workshops collocated with an international conference are one of the

best venues for the presentation and discussion of preliminary work,

novel ideas, and new open problems to a wide and interested audience.

Collocated workshops also provide an opportunity for presenting

specialized topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and

project collaboration. The topics of the workshops collocated with

ICLP 2012 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 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 Proposal:

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

Those interested in organizing a workshop at ICLP 2012 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 requested 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) of the workshop organizers together with a designated

   contact person.

 * Previous experience of the workshop organizers in

   workshop/conference organization.

Proposals are expected in ASCII or PDF format. All proposals should be

submitted to the Workshop Chair by email by February 10, 2012.

Reviewing Process:

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 February 26,

2012.

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 arrange the distribution of the workshop proceedings

by the workshop organizers. Any workshop registration fees will be

handled together with the conference fees.
