Las Cruses, New Mexico
Nov 29 – Dec 4, 1999
Overview
ICLP’99 will be organized in an integrated, theme-based way, with workshops, tutorials, invited talks and regular conference presentations grouped along key topics. In addition, there is a fully open poster session.
Special discount rates have been negotiated with the hotels. You can stay for as little as $25 per night in one of the (quite decent) conference hotels, provided you pair up with someone. A message area has been provided at the ICLP website where you can communicate with others to find a room-mate.
The registration fee has been kept to the minimum possible. Just registering for ICLP allows you to attend any one of the seven ICLP’99 satellite workshops that, for the first time, are being held concurrently with the main program. Special student registration rate has been provided, which includes the conference proceedings as well as the Banquet.
The conference will be held in Las Cruces, a small desert town in southern New Mexico; famous for its red and green chilis, hot Mexican food, and its old western traditions. Las Cruces and its surrounding areas have numerous tourist attractions. We hope that you will have the time to visit some of these attractions during your stay.
The weather in Las Cruces during the winter is quite mild. If you live in the Northern latitudes, ICLP’99 gives a chance to escape the winter in your homeland, at least for a few days.
A sightseeing trip to the world renowned White Sands National Monument is planned on the last day of the conference.
ICLP’99 is being held together with LPNMR’99. and NLULP’99. Special reduced registration rates are available for those attending LPNMR’99 or NLULP’99 along with ICLP’99.
Proceedings
The conference proceedings are published by MIT Press. Contents (by DBLP).
Associated Workshops
Seven workshops will be organised in conjunction with the main conference. At ICLP’99, workshops will be treated much more as first-class conference events than at the previous ICLP conferences. The workshops have long been experienced as lively and productive forums for discussing promising new directions and ongoing work. They are crucial for the success of the main conference. Therefore, at ICLP’99, the workshops will be integrated in a theme-based fashion with the regular sessions, invited talks, tutorials and poster sessions. They will not be ‘post-conference’ workshops, but THE KEY ACTIVITY of the conference’s afternoon events.
The role of workshops is to provide a platform for the presentation of preliminary work or novel ideas in a less formal way than the conference itself. It is an opportunity to disseminate work in progress, particularly for new researchers. It also provides a venue for presenting more specialised topics and opportunities for more intensive discussions and exchange of ideas. The topics of the workshops can cover any area related to logic programming and any related cross-disciplinary areas. Workshops are particularly appropriate for specialized subcommunities of researchers for whom a larger workshop or conference is not yet justified.
