The International Conference on Logic Programming is the premier venue for presenting research in logic programming. ICLP 2012 will take place in Budapest, honouring the important contribution that the Hungarian logic programming community has given to this field. The ICLP technical program will include presentations of accepted papers, invited talks, advanced tutorials and panels, a special session on most influential papers, the doctoral consortium, the programming contest, and several workshops. Contributions are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to:

• Theory: Semantic Foundations, Formalisms, Non-Monotonic Reasoning, Knowledge Representation.
• Implementation: Compilation, Memory Management, Virtual Machines, Parallelism.
• Environments: Program Analysis, Transformation, Validation, Verification, Debugging, Profiling, Testing.
• Language Issues: Concurrency, Objects, Coordination, Mobility, Higher Order, Types, Modes, Assertions, Programming Techniques.
• Related Paradigms: Abductive/Inductive/Constraint Logic Programming, Answer-Set Programming.
• Applications: Databases, Data Integration and Federation, Software Engineering, Natural Language Processing, (Semantic) Web, Agents, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Declarative Networking.

There are four broad categories for submissions:

1. technical papers describe technically sound, innovative ideas that can advance the state of the art of logic programming;
2. application papers present real-world applications of logic programming;
3. system and tool papers focus on the novelty, practicality, usability and general availability of the systems and tools described; and
4. technical communications aim at describing recent developments, new projects, and other materials that are not ready for publication as standard papers.
