(Apologies for cross-posting.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS 29th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2013) Istanbul, Turkey, August 24-29, 2013 http://www.iclp2013.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- ICLP 2013, the 29th International Conference on Logic Programming, will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, August 24-29, 2013. 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 specialised topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaboration. The topics of the workshops collocated with ICLP 2013 may cover any area related to logic programming (e.g., theory, systems, environments, software-engineering aspects, extensions, alternative paradigms, applications), including cross- disciplinary areas. However, any workshop proposal will be taken under consideration. The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organisers, but ample time should be allowed for general discussions. Workshops can vary in length, but the optimal format are half-day workshops and full-day workshops. Workshop Proposal: ================== People interested in organising a workshop at ICLP 2013 are invited to submit a workshop proposal. Proposals should be written 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 timeline and relevance of the workshop; * a list of some related workshops held in recent years; * the (preliminary) required number of half-days allotted to the workshop and an estimate of the number of expected attendees; * the names, affiliations, and contact details (email, web page, phone, fax) of the workshop organiser(s) together with a designated contact person; and * the previous experience of the workshop organising committee in workshop or conference organisation. Proposals should be in PDF format and submitted to the Workshop Chair (Hans Tompits) by email by March 11, 2013. Reviewing Process: ================== Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the Workshop Chair and the Conference Program Chairs. Proposals that appear well-organised and that fit the goals and the scope of ICLP will be selected. The Chairs will notify the responsible organisers of their decision via email by April 4, 2013. The final length of each workshop will be planned according to the number of submissions each workshop receives. For each accepted workshop, the ICLP local organisers will prepare a meeting place and arrange the distribution of the workshop proceedings, which must be prepared by the workshop organisers. The workshop registration fees will be handled together with the conference fees. Workshop Organisers' Tasks: =========================== * Producing a "Call for Papers" for the workshop and posting it on the Internet and other means.
