INTRODUCTION

ICLP'07, the 23rd International Conference on Logic Programming, will be held in Porto (Portugal), from September 8 to 13, 2007. Workshops co-located with international conferences are perhaps the best place for the presentation of preliminary work or novel ideas, new open problems to a wide and interested audience. Co-located workshops also provide a venue for presenting specialized topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaboration. The topics of the workshops co-located with ICLP'07 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 analyzed. The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organizer(s), 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 intending to organize a workshop at ICLP'07 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 experiences 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 by email by February 14, 2007. All workshops will take place in the city of Porto at the site of the main conference. See the ICLP'07 web site for location details.

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 28, 2007. 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 can print the workshop proceedings, whose LaTeX preparation is however in charge to the workshop organizers. The workshop registration fees will be handled together with the conference fees.
