under uncertainty, Knowledge representation, Semantic issues of
combining logic and neural models, Complexity results.

Language Design and Programming Methodologies

Concurrency and parallelism, Mobility, Interacting with ML,
Logic-based domain-specific languages, Hybrid logical and
imperative/functional languages, Programming techniques, Answer Set
Programming, Inductive Logic Programming, Coinductive Logic
Programming

Program Analysis and Optimization

Analysis, Transformation, Verification, Debugging, Profiling,
Visualization, Logic-based validation of generated programs.

Implementation Methodologies

Compilation, Parallel/distributed execution, Constraint
implementation, Tabling, Logic-based prompt engineering, User
interfaces.

TRACKS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS

In addition to the main track, ICLP 2024 will host:

- Applications Track: invites submissions on emerging and deployed
applications of LP, describing aspects of the development,
deployment, and evaluation of logic programming systems to solve
real-world problems, including interesting case studies, benchmarks,
and lessons learned.

- Recently Published Research Track: provides a forum to discuss
important recent results related to logic programming that have
appeared (from January 2022 onward) in selective journals and
conferences, but have not been presented at ICLP.

- System Demonstrations. We invite submissions to showcase logic
programming systems in a live setting. This track is not designed
for sales pitches. Rather demonstrations are a way for the community
to see the relevance, potential, and innovation of the system and to
allow time for discussion with its creator(s).

- Birds of a Feather (BoF) Sessions. We invite proposals for break-out
sessions during ICLP to provide informal discussions for colleagues
with similar interests in inclusive environments. BoFs are not
intended to be presentations: proposers of BoF sessions should serve
as discussion leaders only.

AFFILIATED EVENTS

- 2024 Autumn School in Computational Logic: October 11-12

- Workshops: October 12-13, 2024

- Doctoral Consortium and Mentoring Sessions: October 12-13, 2024
provides students and early career researchers with the opportunity
to present and discuss their research directions, obtain feedback
from both peers and experts, and participate in mentoring sessions
on how to prepare for and succeed in a research career. Leaders in
logic programming research from academia and industry give invited
talks on their research areas. The best paper from the DC will be
given the opportunity to make a presentation in the main ICLP
conference.

- Logic Programming in Industry: October 14, 2024

SUBMISSION DETAILS

All submissions must be written in English. Papers accepted at ICLP may
appear either in

- The journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP)
published by Cambridge University Press. TPLP format is described at
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-programming/information/instructions-contributors

- The ICLP 24 Technical Communication Proceedings published by
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).
EPTCS format is described at http://style.eptcs.org

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. The forms of submission are as
follows.

- Main and Application Tracks All papers must 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.)

Main and Application track submissions may have one of two forms.

- Regular papers are at most 14 pages in TPLP format, including
references. Accepted regular papers will be published either in
a special issue of TPLP or in the Technical Communication
Proceedings of ICLP ’24. In the latter case, papers must be
reformatted into EPTCS format and must not exceed 14 pages.
Authors of Regular papers accepted as Technical Communications
can convert their submissions into extended abstracts (2 or 3
pages in EPTCS format) which should allow authors to submit a
long version elsewhere.

- Short papers (7 pages in EPTCS format, including references).
The accepted short papers will be published in the Technical
Communication Proceedings.

- Recently Published Research Track We invite extended abstracts
describing previously published research (from January 2022 onwards)
in selective journals and conferences, that has not been previously
presented at ICLP. The extended abstract should be 2-3 pages in
EPTCS format and accompanied by a title page with (i) details on
where the original paper appeared, (ii) a link to the original
paper, (iii) a paragraph describing why the authors believe this
work warrants a presentation at ICLP. The extended abstracts will be
published in the Technical Communication Proceedings.

- System Demonstrations We invite extended abstracts (2 or 3 pages in
EPTCS format) describing systems to be demonstrated in a session of
ICLP. System demonstrations should provide highlights of the novel
features of the system, along with information about how to access
it. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Technical
Communication Proceedings.

- Birds of a Feather (BoF) Proposals Finally we invite extended
abstracts (2-3 pages in EPTCS format) that propose breakout sessions
that may take place during the ICLP 24 conference. BOF proposals
should motivate the relevance of the topic to logic programming,
describe the expected audience, identify discussion leaders and
their expertise, and provide a brief description of the activities
during the session. BoF proposals should also discribe the planned
practices to promote inclusion and to foster attendee involvement.
Accepted abstracts will be published in the Technical Communication
Proceedings.

Submissions will be made via EasyChair. The submission Web page for
ICLP2023 is

Honorary General Chair: Doug DeGroot
Program Co-chairs: Pedro Cabalar and Theresa Swift

VENUE

ICLP’24 will be held on the campus of the University of Texas at Dallas
in October 2024. Dallas, part of the Dallas/Fort-Worth metroplex, is a
dynamic city with great tourist attractions. Renowned for its unique
blend of modernity and rich cultural heritage, Dallas offers an array of
attractions for visitors: from diverse range of museums, such as the
Dallas Museum of Art and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, to the
Fort Worth Stockyards that feature the Cattle Drive (twice daily).
Dallas boasts a thriving culinary scene, from sizzling steakhouses to
trendy food trucks, to authentic Tex-Mex cuisine. With a wealth of
entertainment options, including shopping districts, live music venues,
and sports events, a visit to Dallas is a memorable experience.
