INAP 2019

INAP is a forum for intensive discussion of applications of important
technologies around declarative programming, constraint problem
solving, and related computing paradigms. It comprehensively covers
the impact of data and knowledge engineering, programmable logic
solvers in the internet society, its underlying technologies, and
leading edge applications in industry, commerce, government, and
societal services. Previous INAP conferences have been held in Japan,
Germany, Portugal, and Austria.

We invite high quality contributions on the described topics,
especially, but not exclusively, on different aspects of declarative
programming, constraint processing, data and knowledge management, as
well as their use for distributed systems and the web:

* data and knowledge engineering / management: deductive databases,
rule bases, decision support, expert systems, knowledge discovery;

* declarative programming: logic programming, nonmonotonic reasoning,
knowledge representation, domain-specific languages;

* constraints: constraint systems, (extensions of) constraint (logic)
programming, constraint-based modeling and applications;

* distributed systems and the web: agents and concurrent engineering,
ontologies, semantic web, internet of things;

* practical systems: tools for academic and industrial use,
knowledge-based web services, logic solvers and applications;

* multi-paradigm programming.

INAP 2019 will be part of DECLARE 2019 and hence be co-located with
WFLP 2019 (International Workshop on Functional and Logic
Programming), WLP 2019 (Workshop on (Constraint) Logic Programming),
and QPLogic 2019 (Quantum and Probability Logic).


Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit long papers (no longer than 15 pages) or
short papers (no longer than 6 pages) in the following categories:

+ Regular research papers
+ Application papers
+ System descriptions

We also encourage submissions on ongoing work of PhD students (no
longer than 6 pages). Submissions must be unpublished original work
and not submitted for publication elsewhere. However, work that
already appeared in informally published workshop proceedings may be
submitted too. All papers will be judged on the basis of significance,
relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity.

All submissions must be formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science style.

For further information on the submission procedure, please, visit the
conference web site: declare19.de

Proceedings

All papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be
published in informal proceedings publicly available at the Computing
Research Repository. According to the program committee reviews,
submissions can be directly accepted for publication in the formal
post-conference proceedings. The formal post-conference proceedings
will be published in both electronic and paper formats by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. After the conference,
all authors accepted only for presentation will be invited to revise
and/or extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited
at the conference. Then, after another round of reviewing, these
revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings. All
accepted papers will be presented during the conference. At least one
author of an accepted contribution is expected to register for the
conference and present the paper.
