                     CALL FOR PAPERS
                         ICLP'02
Eighteenth International Conference on Logic Programming

		  Copenhagen, Denmark
                  July 29th - August 1, 2002

                  http://floc02.diku.dk/ICLP/

ICLP'02, the Eighteenth International Conference on Logic
Programming will be be held this year as part of the 2002
Federated Logic Conference (http://floc02.diku.dk/) 
in conjunction with CADE, CAV, FME, LICS, RTA and TABLEAUX.

ICLP'02 is sponsored by IF/Prolog (http://www.ifcomputer.de).

                       TOPICS

Since the first ICLP, held in Marseilles in 1982, ICLP has been
the premier international conference for presenting research
into logic programming.  Original papers are sought in all areas
of logic programming including (but not restricted to):

     Theory                        Implementation

         Semantic Foundations          Compilation
         Formalisms                    Memory Management
         Non-monotonic Reasoning       Virtual Machines
         Knowledge Representation      Parallelism

    Language Issues                    Environments

         Constraints                   Program Analysis
         Concurrency                   Program Transformation
         Objects                       Validation and Verification
         Coordination                  Debugging 
         Mobilility
         Higher Order                  Applications
         Types
         Modes                         Deductive Databases
         Programming Techniques        Software Engineering
                                       Natural Language
                                       Web tools
                                       Internet Agents
                                       Artificial Intelligence

Papers describing innovative applications of logic programming (in the
broadest sense, e.g. including constraint programming, non-monotonic
systems, etc.) are particularly sought.  We welcome submission in, but
not limited to, the following topics: surveys of an application area,
problems to which logic programming may be applied, experience in
applying logic programming, software engineering aspects of logic
programming and areas where further research is required to meet
industrial needs. There will be an award for the best application paper
sponsored by IF/Prolog.

                     SUBMISSION

Papers must describe original, previously unpublished work, be written
and presented in English, not exceed 15 pages (A4 or letter format, up
to 5,000 words), and not be simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere.  The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Authors are strongly
encouraged to use LaTeX2e and the Springer llncs class file, available
at
       http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
     
Submission is Web-based. In order to submit a paper, authors should
upload it via the web at

       http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~pjs/ICLP2002/
             
where more detailed instructions are given.  If submission through the
Web is not possible, five hard copies may be sent to the program
chair.  Authors intending to submit a paper are requested to submit an
abstract of their paper, through the same web interface, before
February 10, to help expedite the paper assignment process.
                    
Submission Agenda:

   Submission of abstracts:    February 10, 2002
   Submission of papers:       February 17, 2002
   Notification of acceptance: April 14, 2002
   Camera-ready papers due:    May 14, 2002
