Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international event for presenting research in logic programming.
Contributions to the Main Track are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to:
Besides the main track, ICLP 2021 will host additional tracks and special sessions:
Regular papers must be in the condensed TPLP format (template here) and not exceed 14 pages including bibliography. Regular papers may be supplemented with appendices for proofs and details of datasets which do not count towards the page limit. The supplementary material of the accepted papers will constitute a separate document and will be available as an appendix to the published document.
Three kinds of regular papers will be accepted:
All submissions must be written in English and describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings.
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 will be subject to more than one round of refereeing (within the decision period).
The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be published as technical communications, in electronic form, in an EPTCS volume. Technical communications must not exceed 14 pages. The authors of the technical communications can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts, of 2 or 3 pages, for inclusion in the EPTCS volume (specific editing instructions will be given in this case). This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere.
Authors may also consider to submit a short paper (up to 7 pages, in EPTCS format http://info.eptcs.org/, including references) describing original and unpublished work that will be considered for publication as part of the online EPTCS volume.
All accepted papers will be presented during the conference. 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.
At least one author for each accepted paper is required to register to the conference. All submissions must be made via the EasyChair conference system.
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.
The ICLP 2021 registration includes access to the Main Conference and all associated events - Workshops, Doctoral Consortium and Autumn School.
The following rules apply:
