IULP 2019 is collocated with LPNMR 2019. The workshop got cancelled due to a low number of submissions.

Scope and Aims

Since the emergence of the field of logic programming more than 30 years ago, a lot of theoretical work has been done for example with respect to different semantics and their properties. More recently, implementations and IDEs emerged which have been used for various problem-solving applications. However, user-friendliness is still an issue for both experts and non-experts in logic programming; experts benefit for example from features like debugging and heuristic tuning, non-experts from educational material and intuitive visualisations - all of which are ongoing topics of research.

The 3rd International Workshop of User-oriented Logic Paradigms (IULP'19) aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the AI, KR, and applied sciences community to discuss and present advances in making logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning paradigms more user-friendly/oriented, where the "user" could be either a logic programming expert, or a non-expert who simply uses logic programming tools in some application. Both implementational and theoretical results are of interest.

More specifically, IULP'19 aims to bring together researchers from different sub-areas of logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning, such as answer set programming, constraint logic programming, probabilistic logic programming, abductive logic programming, inductive logic programming, argumentation, principles of teaching, etc., as user-friendliness is an important topic in all of these research areas.

We solicit the submission of papers broadly centred on issues and research related to user-friendliness in logic paradigms and related fields. We welcome papers of either theoretical or practical nature including work in progress.

Submission Info

Paper Format

Papers must be formatted in Springer LNCS style (http://www.springer.com/lncs) and should not exceed 13 pages (excluding references and appendices). All submissions have to be written in English and submitted electronically as a PDF through easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iulp2019).

A short system demonstration version which should not exceed 6 pages (excluding references and appendices) can be submitted electronically too.

We encourage the submission of original research on all topics as well as relevant results that have been submitted or accepted elsewhere provided that the initial publication is mentioned in a footnote on the first page.

Note that authorship is not anonymous and that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the workshop to present the contribution.

Proceedings

There are no formal proceedings for IULP. The accepted papers will be published as a technical report and will be made available in the CoRR Computing Research Repository. The copyright of the papers lies with the authors and, as far as IULP is concerned, authors are free to submit their work to other conferences and workshops.
