ICLP 2003

19th International Conference on Logic Programming

December 09-13, 2003, Mumbay, India

Since the first conference held in Marseilles in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international conference for presenting research into logic programming. ICLP’03, the Nineteenth International Conference on Logic Programming will be a unique event in several ways. It will be organized in an integrated, theme-based way, with workshops, tutorials, invited talks and regular conference presentations grouped along key topics. Other new features will include a fully open poster session and mini-tutorials to introduce the more specialized sessions and workshops

 

Venue

The conference will be held at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) campus located at the southern tip of  Mumbai facing the Arabian Ocean. Mumbai formerly known as Bombay is the financial and commercial capital of India. TIFR (established in 1945) is a premier research Institute (recently it has been conferred the status of Deemed University) in India carrying out research in various areas of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Technology, and Science Education. The picturesque campus has well equipped conference and lecture halls and a large modern Homi Bhabha Auditorium that will be used for plenary sessions for the conference.

 

Conference Program

The program included five invited speakers:

• Olivier Ridoux: Logic Information Systems for Logic Programmers
• Greg Morrisett: Achieving Type Safety for Low-Level Code
• William H. Winsborough: A Logic Programming View of Authorization in Distributed Systems.
• Maurizio Gabbrielli: Compositional Verification of Infinite State Systems.
• Rolf Backofen: A Constraint-Based Approach to Structure Prediction for Simplified Protein Models that outperforms other existing methods.

and two tutorials

• Frank D. Valencia: Concurrency, Time and Constraints
• Francois Fages:Symbolic Model-Checking for Biochemical Systems

Moreover, Bart Demoen and Peter Stuckey organized a panel entitle Open Meeting on the Next LP Language.

The conference program included an Indian Classical Dance Recital and a social banquet.

The ICLP’04 program will include five workshops. They are perhaps the best place for the presentation of preliminary work, novel ideas, and new open problems to a more focused and specialized audience. Workshops also provide a venue for presenting specialised topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaboration in any areas related to logic programming, including cross-disciplinary areas.
