LPAR 2008
15th International Conference on
Logic for
Programming,
Artificial Intelligence and
Reasoning
Doha, Qatar
November 22-27, 2008
http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/lpar08/
The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming,
Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year
after year, some of the most renowned researchers in the areas of
automated reasoning, computational logic, programming languages and
their applications come to present cutting-edge results, to discuss
advances in these fields, and to exchange ideas in a scientifically
emerging part of the world. The 2008 edition will be held in Doha,
Qatar, on the premises of the Qatar campus of Carnegie Mellon
University.
Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in
Computer Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational
to the applied. At one extreme, it underlies computability and
complexity theory and the formal semantics of programming languages.
At the other, it drives billions of gates every day in the digital
circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic is in itself a powerful
programming paradigm but it is also the quintessential specification
language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to
networked infrastructures. It is logical techniques that link
implementation and specification through formal methods such as
automated theorem proving and model checking. Logic is also the stuff
of knowledge representation and artificial intelligence. Because of
its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central role in Computer Science
education.
New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are
welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may
examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing
theories and practices. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* Automated reasoning
* Interactive theorem proving
* Implementations of logic
* Proof assistants
* Program and system verification
* Model checking
* Rewriting and unification
* Logic programming
* Constraint programming
* Logic and databases
* Modal and temporal logics
* Proof-carrying code
* Translation validation
* Logic for the semantic web
* Foundations of security
* Description logics
* Non-monotonic reasoning
* Specification using logics
* Logic in artificial intelligence
* Lambda calculus
* Constructive logic and type theory
* Computional interpretations of logic
* Logical foundations of programming
* Logical aspects of concurrency
* Logic and computational complexity
* Knowledge representation and reasoning
* Reasoning about actions
* Proof planning
* Effectively presented structures
* Logic of distributed systems
Invited Speakers
It has been a tradition of LPAR to invite some of the most influential
researchers in the focus areas to discuss their work and their vision
for their fields. We are honored that the following members of the
community have accepted this invitation.
* Edmund Clarke, Carnegie Mellon University (USA)
Other invited speakers will be announced soon
Submission Instructions
Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers should be submitted in Portable
Document Format (PDF); papers submitted in a proprietary word
processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be considered.
Submissions can be of two types:
* Regular papers are meant to describe solid new research
results. They can be up to 15 pages long in LNCS style, including
figures, bibliography and appendices.
* Short papers are intended to report on interesting work in
progress. They can be at most 5 pages long in the LNCS style.
Papers can be electronically submitted by visiting
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dlpar2008
. Prospective authors are required to register a title and an abstract
a week before the paper submission deadline (see below).
As with the previous editions, the accepted regular papers of LPAR'08
will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. They will be available at the conference.
Programme Committe Chairs
* Iliano Cervesato (Carnegie Mellon University, Qatar)
* Helmut Veith (Technische Universit=E4t Darmstadt, Germany)
* Andrei Voronkov (University of Manchester, UK)
Participation
Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one of
them will be present at the conference. Papers that do not adhere to
this policy will be removed from the proceedings.
