ICLP 2009, the 25th International Conference on Logic Programming,
will
be held in Pasadena (USA), from July 14 to 17, 2009.

Workshops  co-located with  international conferences  are one  of the
best venue  for the presentation  and discussion of  preliminary work,
novel ideas, and new open  problems to a wide and interested audience.
Co-located  workshops  also  provide  an  opportunity  for  presenting
specialized  topics and  opportunities for  intensive  discussions and
project collaboration.   The topics  of the workshops  co-located with
ICLP 2009  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  must 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 2009 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 timeliness and relevance of the workshop.

  * A list of some related workshops held in the last 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. All proposals should be
submitted to  the Workshop Chair  (Manuel Carro) by email  by February
9th, 2009.


Reviewing Process:
==================

Each submitted  proposal is  reviewed by the  Workshops Chair  and the
Conference  Program Chairs. Proposals  that appear  well-organized and
that fit the  goals and scope of ICLP will  be selected.  The decision
will be  notified by  email to the  responsible organizer  by February
23rd, 2009.

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.  The
workshop  registration   fees  will  be  handled   together  with  the
conference fees.


Workshop Organizers' Tasks:
===========================

  * Producing a "Call  for Papers" for the workshop  and posting it on
    the net and/or  other means.  Please provide a  web page URL which
    can be linked into the ICLP 2009 home page by March 9th, 2009.

  * Providing a brief description of the workshop for the conference
    program.

  * Reviewing/accepting submitted papers.

  * Scheduling workshop activities in collaboration with the local
    organizers and the workshop chair.

  * Sending workshop program and workshop proceedings in pdf format to
    the workshop chair for distribution at the conference.

  * The  use  of the  Computing  Research  Repository  (CoRR) for  the
    workshop     proceedings    is     strongly     suggested.     See
    http://www.logicprogramming.org/  for  guidelines.   We  encourage
    reading these  instructions in advance  so that you can  ask paper
    authors to prepare accordingly the final versions of their papers.
