*** CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS *** ICLP 2011 27th International Conference on Logic Programming Lexington, Kentucky, USA July 6-10, 2011 URL: http://www.cs.uky.edu/iclp2011/ ICLP 2011, the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming, will be held in Lexington, Kentucky, USA, from July 6 to 10, 2011. Workshops collocated with an international conference are one of the best venues for the presentation and discussion of preliminary work, novel ideas, and new open problems to a wide and interested audience. Collocated workshops also provide an opportunity for presenting specialized topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaboration. The topics of the workshops collocated with ICLP 2011 can cover any areas related to logic programming, (e.g., theory, implementation, environments, language issues, alternative paradigms, applications), including cross-disciplinary areas. However, any workshop proposal will be considered. The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organizers, but ample time should be allowed for general discussion. Workshops can vary in length, but the optimal duration will be half a day or a full day. Workshop Proposal: ================== Those interested in organizing a workshop at ICLP 2011 are invited to submit a workshop proposal. Proposals should be in English and about two pages in length. They should contain: * The title of the workshop * A brief technical description of the topics covered by the workshop * A discussion of the timeline and relevance of the workshop * A list of some related workshops held in the recent years * The (preliminary) required number of half-days allotted to the workshop and an estimate of the number of expected attendees * The names, affiliation, and contact details (email, web page, phone, fax) of the workshop organizer(s) together with a designated contact person * The previous experience of the workshop organizing committee in workshop/conference organization Proposals are expected in ASCII or PDF format.

The definitive length of the workshop will be planned according to the number of submissions received by the different workshops. For every accepted workshop, the ICLP local organizers will prepare a meeting place and arrange the distribution of the workshop proceedings, whose preparation is however in charge to the workshop organizers.
