International Conference on Logic Programming Doctoral Consortium

Sitges (Barcelona), Spain October 2-5, 2005 http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~epontell/DC2005 -----------

The ICLP Doctoral Consortium (DC) is the first ever doctoral consortium to be offered as part of the International Conference on Logic Programming. The DC will take place during ICLP 2005 in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain. The Doctoral Consortium is designed for doctoral students working in areas related to logic programming, who are planning to pursue a career in academia. The Doctoral Consortium aims to provide students with an opportunity to present and discuss their research directions and to obtain feedbacks from peers as well as world-renown experts in the field. The Doctoral Consortium will also offer invited speakers and panels discussions.

------------

The Doctoral Consortium is held the during the regular activities of the ICLP 2005 Conference. The aims of the Doctoral Consortium are: * To provide doctoral students working in the field of logic programming with a friendly and open forum to present their research ideas, listen to ongoing work from peer students, and receive constructive feedback * To provide students with relevant information about important issues for doctoral candidates and future academics * To develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. * To support a new generation of researchers with information and advice on academic, research, industrial, and non- traditional career paths. The Consortium is designed for students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, though we are also open to exceptions (e.g., students currently in a Masters program and interested in doctoral studies). The Consortium is for students at any stage of their doctoral studies are welcome to apply. Applicants are expected to be conducting research in the field of Logic Programming; topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Theoretical Foundations of Logic and Constraint Logic Programming * Sequential and Parallel Implementation Technology * Static and Dynamic Analysis, Abstract Interpretation, Compilation Technology, Verification * Logic-based Paradigms (e.g., Answer Set Programming, Concurrent Logic Programming, Inductive Logic Programming) * Innovative Applications of Logic Programming The Consortium allows participants to interact with established researchers and with other students, through presentations, question- answer sessions, panel discussions, and invited presentations. The Doctoral Consortium will provide the possibility to reflect - through short activities, information sessions, and discussions - on the process and lessons of research and life in academia. Each participant will give a short, critiqued, research presentation. The Doctoral Consortium will be held on a date to be determined, in parallel with the regular activities of the ICLP 2005 conference; the ICLP conference will run from October 2nd to October 5th, 2005. Doctoral Consortium participants will be offered the opportunity to have their abstracts published in the ICLP 2005 conference proceedings.

Discussants: Several renown faculty members and researchers in the field of Logic Programming will join in evaluating the submission packets and will participate in the Doctoral Consortium, providing feedback to the presenters. The list of the discussants will be published at a later date.
