Call for Participation: LPNMR 2013

12th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning
LPNMR 2013 http://lpnmr2013.udc.es
Corunna, Spain September 15-19, 2013
co-located with CLIMA’XIV and WoMO’13

AIMS AND SCOPE

LPNMR 2013 is the twelfth in the series of international meetings on logic programming and nonmonotonic reasoning. LPNMR is a forum for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, nonmonotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. The aim of the conference is to facilitate interactions between those researchers and practitioners interested in the design and implementation of logic-based programming languages and database systems, and those who work in the area of knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning. LPNMR strives to encompass theoretical and experimental studies that have led or will lead to the construction of systems for declarative programming and knowledge representation, as well as their use in practical applications.

VENUE

Corunna is a busy port located at the entrance of an estuary on the Atlantic coast of the north-western corner of Spain. The city features a complete offer of leisure activities ranging from beach sports along the seafront that surrounds it (surfing, sailing, biking, etc) to a wide program of cultural events, an active shopping area, restaurants, tapas bars and a crowded night life. The conference will be held at the hotel Melia Maria Pita.

CO-LOCATED EVENTS

LPNMR-13 will be co-located with two international workshops:

  • CLIMA’XIV
    14th International Workshop on Computational Logic and Multi-Agent
    Systems (September 16-18, 2013).
  • WoMO’13
    7th Workshop on Modular Ontologies (September 15th, 2013).

As co-located events, it is possible to register for CLIMA or WoMO independently from LPNMR, or in combination with the latter.

LPNMR-13 will also include four specialized associated workshops that will be celebrated on Sunday, September 15th:

  • ARCOE-LogIC’13
    5th Intl. Workshop on Acquisition, Representation and Reasoning with Contextualized Knowledge
  • GTTV’13
    2nd Workshop on Grounding and Transformations for Theories with Variables
  • LNMR’13
    1st Workshop on Learning and Non-monotonic Reasoning
  • NLPAR’13
    1st Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Automated Reasoning
