ICLP 2009
25th International Conference on Logic Programming
Pasadena, California, USA July 14-17, 2009

ICLP 2009, the 25th International Conference on Logic Programming, will be held in Pasadena (USA), from July 14 to 17, 2009.
Workshops co-located with international conferences are one of the best venue for the presentation and discussion of preliminary work, 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 2009 can cover any areas related to logic programming, (e.g., theory, implementation, environments, language issues, alternative paradigms, applications), including cross-disciplinary areas. However, any workshop proposal will be considered.
The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organizers, but ample time must be allowed for general discussion. Workshops can vary in length, but the optimal duration will be half a day or a full day.
Workshop Proposal: ==================
Those interested in organizing a workshop at ICLP 2009 are invited to submit a workshop proposal. Proposals should be 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 timeliness and relevance of the workshop.
* A list of some related workshops held in the last years.
* The (preliminary) required number of half-days allotted to the workshop and an estimate of the number of expected attendees.
* The names, affiliation, and contact details (email, web page, phone, fax) of the workshop organizer(s) together with a designated contact person.
* The previous experience of the workshop organizing committee in workshop/conference organization.
Proposals are expected in ASCII or PDF format. All proposals should be submitted to the Workshop Chair (Manuel Carro) by email by February 9th, 2009.
Reviewing Process: ==================
Each submitted proposal is reviewed by the Workshops Chair and the Conference Program Chairs. Proposals that appear well-organized and that fit the goals and scope of ICLP will be selected. The decision will be notified by email to the responsible organizer by February 23rd, 2009.
The definitive length of the workshop will be planned according to the number of submissions received by the different workshops. For every accepted workshop, the ICLP local organizers will prepare a meeting place and arrange the distribution of the workshop proceedings, whose preparation is however in charge to the workshop organizers. The workshop registration fees will be handled together with the conference fees.
Workshop Organizers' Tasks: ===========================
* Producing a "Call for Papers" for the workshop and posting it on the net and/or other means. Please provide a web page URL which can be linked into the ICLP 2009 home page by March 9th, 2009.
* Providing a brief description of the workshop for the conference program.
* Reviewing/accepting submitted papers.
* Scheduling workshop activities in collaboration with the local organizers and the workshop chair.
* Sending workshop program and workshop proceedings in pdf format to the workshop chair for distribution at the conference.
* The use of the Computing Research Repository (CoRR) for the workshop proceedings is strongly suggested. See http://www.logicprogramming.org/ for guidelines. We encourage reading these instructions in advance so that you can ask paper authors to prepare accordingly the final versions of their papers.
