                         CALL FOR PAPERS

                     32nd Italian Conference on
                        Computational Logic

             (CILC 2017) -- http://cilc2017.unina.it/

                Naples, Italy, September 26-29, 2017

**********************************************************************

CILC (Italian Conference on Computational Logic) is the annual conference
organized by GULP (Group of researchers and Users of Logic Programming,
www.programmazionelogica.it). Its 32nd edition will be held in Naples 
(Italy) on
September 26-29, 2017.

Since the first event of the series, which took place in Genoa in 1986, the
annual GULP conference represents the main opportunity for users, 
researchers
and developers working in the field of computational logic to meet and 
exchange
ideas. Over the years the conference broadened its horizons from the 
specific
field of logic programming to include declarative programming and 
applications
in neighboring areas such as artificial intelligence and deductive 
databases.

CILC 2017 is co-located with the 18th Italian Conference on Theoretical 
Computer
Science ICTCS 2017 (http://ictcs2017.unina.it/) with which it will share 
part of
the program. The two events will feature plenary events, on September 
29, to be
specified later.


Contributions:
--------------
The conference will feature presentations of refereed contributions, 
including
the demonstration of software prototypes, concerning all aspects of
computational logic.

The conference invites two types of submissions: full papers, possibly 
already
submitted to other conferences or journals, and short papers, which are
particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes,
extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research
projects.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

   Logic Programming, Constraint Programming and other paradigms of 
declarative programming
   Extensions and integrations of declarative programming paradigms
   Analysis, transformation, validation, and verification of programs
   Instruments and environments for program development
   Implementations and benchmarking
   Model Checking
   Temporal logics
   Automated Theorem Proving
   Non-Monotonic Reasoning
   Answer Set Programming
   Knowledge representation and extraction
   Treatment of uncertain and incomplete knowledge
   Approximate Reasoning
   Abductive Logic Programming
   Model-based Reasoning
   Inductive Logic Programming
   Deductive Databases
   Data Mining and Data Integration
   Multi-agent systems
   Logics for strategic reasoning
   Semantic Web
   Natural Language Processing
   Computational logic for concurrency, coordination, mobility and objects
   Planning and scheduling
   Probabilistic Logic Programming
   Computational Logic and formal methods in Artificial Intelligence
   Applications of Computational Logic
   Pedagogy of Computational Logic


Important dates:
----------------
Abstract, paper, and demo submission deadline: 25 May 2017
Notification of acceptance: 30 June 2017
Final version and early registration deadline: 24 July 2017
Conference: 26-29 September 2017


Submission instructions:
------------------------
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair 
system
at the link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cilc2017

Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 5 pages for short 
papers,
respectively. Manuscripts should be formatted using the Springer LNCS 
style. To
ease the reviewing process, the authors of regular papers may add an 
appendix
(although reviewers are not required to consider it in their 
evaluation). All
contributions must be written in English.

We invite submissions of system or prototype software descriptions which use
techniques or tools of computational logic, or which themselves aid the
development of applications based on computational logic. Systems of both
research and industrial character are welcome. Submissions must include 
a brief
description, prepared according to the guidelines given for short 
papers, and a
specification of the required hardware and software equipment.

For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to
attend the conference and present the paper. The event is organized by
GULP. Therefore, Italian attendants are required to be members of GULP 
(it is
possible to join GULP at the conference).


Proceedings:
------------
Papers accepted for presentation at the conference (both full and short) 
will be
published on CEUR-WS.org.

As in previous years, we plan to publish a selection of the best papers in a
special issue of an international journal (to be determined).


General chair:
--------------
Aniello Murano (University of Naples "Federico II")


Program co-chairs:
------------------
Dario Della Monica (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
Luigi Sauro (University of Naples "Federico II")


Venue:
------
The conference will take place at the "Complesso di San Giovanni a
Teduccio---Complesso Napoli Est", in Corso Nicolangelo Protopisani, 70, 
80146
Napoli.
