The “2nd Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia and Industry” (Datalog 2.0, 2012) will be held in Vienna, Austria, on September 11-13, 2012, and will be co-located with the “International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems” (RR 2012) and the “International Conference on Computational Models of Argument” (COMMA 2012).  This will be the first open version of the workshop, second in total. The previous edition was held in Oxford, UK, during March 2010. It was based on invitations only.

Datalog 2.0 is a workshop for Datalog researchers, implementors, and users. Its main aim is to bring everyone up-to-date and map out directions for future research. Over the past few years, Datalog has resurrected as a lively topic with applications in many different areas of computer science, as well as industry. Due to this renewed interest and increased level of activity in the area, we have decided to open the workshop for submissions.

This year we have a world-class group of invited speakers and tutorials, as well as a very lively and inspiring technical program composed of regular papers, system descriptions, and tutorials. We believe that attending Datalog 2.0, 2012 is a great opportunity for everyone interested in the foundations and the current applications of Datalog.
