 [apologies for multiple copies]

==================================================================================
35th Italian Conference on Computational Logic (CILC 2020)
24-25 September 2020, Rende, Italy
https://cilc2020.demacs.unical.it/
CO-LOCATED with the 36th International Conference on Logic Programming
(ICLP 2020)
==================================================================================


= COVID-19 SITUATION =
This year's edition will be the 35th in the series of an event that is
traditionally important for the community. Given to the evolving COVID-19
situation worldwide, the Conference chairs and the GULP Executives decided
to hold CILC 2020 as a fully virtual conference, very likely in the same
original dates.
More details will be announced soon. Please check
https://cilc2020.demacs.unical.it/ regularly for news and details.


= FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS =

Due to the difficult period we are all experiencing and the profound
impact that this has been having on our lives and work, we have decided to
extend the deadlines.

== Important Dates (UPDATE) ==
Paper submission: July 12, 2020
Notification to authors: July 28, 2020
Camera-ready copy due: September 3, 2020
Main Conference starts: September 24, 2020  


= The Conference =
CILC (Italian Conference on Computational Logic) is the annual conference
organized by GULP (Group of researchers and Users of Logic Programming,
http://www.programmazionelogica.it/). Its 35th edition will be held in
Cosenza (Italy) on September 24-25, 2020.

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.

= 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
 * 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
- 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
- Applications of Computational Logic
- Inductive Logic Programming
- Computational Logic and Machine Learning

In particular, we also 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.


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

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cilc20200

Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 8 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.

For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to
register to the conference and present the paper according to directions
that will be made public by the organizers, taking into account the
"virtual" nature of this year's event.

The event is organized by GULP; therefore, Italian attendants are required
to be members of GULP (it is possible to join GULP contextually to the
conference).


= Proceedings and Journal Special Issue =
All accepted original contributions (both full and short) will be
published on CEUR-WS.org. Non-original communications will be given
visibility on the conference web site including a link to the original
publication, if already published.

In the trail of the CILC tradition, we plan to publish a selection of the
papers in a SPECIAL ISSUE of an international journal (to be determined).
Extensions of accepted non-original contributions, if not published in a
journal yet, might be included in the issue.
