CALL FOR PAPERS

32nd Italian Conference on
Computational Logic

(CILC 2017) -- http://cilc2017.unina.it/

Naples, Italy, September 26-29, 2017

**********************************************************************

CILC (Italian Conference on Computational Logic) is the annual conference
organized by GULP (Group of researchers and Users of Logic Programming,
www.programmazionelogica.it). Its 32nd edition will be held in Naples (Italy) on
September 26-29, 2017.

Since the first event of the series, which took place in Genoa in 1986, the
annual GULP conference represents the main opportunity for users, researchers
and developers working in the field of computational logic to meet and exchange
ideas. Over the years the conference broadened its horizons from the specific
field of logic programming to include declarative programming and applications
in neighboring areas such as artificial intelligence and deductive databases.

CILC 2017 is co-located with the 18th Italian Conference on Theoretical Computer
Science ICTCS 2017 (http://ictcs2017.unina.it/) with which it will share part of
the program. The two events will feature plenary events, on September 29, to be
specified later.


Contributions:
--------------
The conference will feature presentations of refereed contributions, including
the demonstration of software prototypes, concerning all aspects of
computational logic.

The conference invites two types of submissions: full papers, possibly already
submitted to other conferences or journals, and short papers, which are
particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes,
extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research
projects.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Logic Programming, Constraint Programming and other paradigms of declarative programming
Extensions and integrations of declarative programming paradigms
Analysis, transformation, validation, and verification of programs
Instruments and environments for program development
Implementations and benchmarking
Model Checking
Temporal logics
Automated Theorem Proving
Non-Monotonic Reasoning
Answer Set Programming
Knowledge representation and extraction
Treatment of uncertain and incomplete knowledge
Approximate Reasoning
Abductive Logic Programming
Model-based Reasoning
Inductive Logic Programming
Deductive Databases
Data Mining and Data Integration
Multi-agent systems
Logics for strategic reasoning
Semantic Web
Natural Language Processing
Computational logic for concurrency, coordination, mobility and objects
Planning and scheduling
Probabilistic Logic Programming
Computational Logic and formal methods in Artificial Intelligence
Applications of Computational Logic
Pedagogy of Computational Logic


Invited Speakers:
-----------------
The invited speakers for this joint CILC/ICTCS event are:
Mario Alviano, University of Calabria
Laura Giordano, Università del Piemonte Orientale
Alessio Lomuscio, Imperial College London


Important dates:
----------------
Abstract, paper, and demo submission deadline: 7 June 2017
Notification of acceptance: 7 July 2017
Final version and early registration deadline: 24 July 2017
Conference: 26-29 September 2017


Submission instructions:
------------------------
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system
at the link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cilc2017

Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 5 pages for short papers,
respectively. Manuscripts should be formatted using the Springer LNCS style. To
ease the reviewing process, the authors of regular papers may add an appendix
(although reviewers are not required to consider it in their evaluation). All
contributions must be written in English.

In particular, we invite submissions of system or prototype software
descriptions which use techniques or tools of computational logic, or which
themselves aid the development of applications based on computational
logic. Systems of both research and industrial character are
welcome. Submissions must include a brief description, prepared according to the
guidelines given for short papers, and a specification of the required hardware
and software equipment.

For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to
attend the conference and present the paper. The event is organized by
GULP. Therefore, Italian attendants are required to be members of GULP (it is
possible to join GULP at the conference).


Proceedings:
------------
All accepted original contributions (both full and short) will be published
on CEUR-WS.org.

Non-original communications will be given visibility on the conference
web site including a link to the original publication if already
published.

As in previous years, we plan to publish a selection of the best papers in a
special issue of an international journal (to be determined). This is
open to full and short papers that have not been published in a journal.


General chair:
--------------
Aniello Murano (University of Naples "Federico II")


Program co-chairs:
------------------
Dario Della Monica (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
Luigi Sauro (University of Naples "Federico II")


Venue:
------
The conference will take place at the "Complesso di San Giovanni a
Teduccio---Complesso Napoli Est", in Corso Nicolangelo Protopisani, 70, 80146
Napoli.
