CALL FOR PAPERS
TAASP 2018
Workshop on Trends and Applications of Answer Set Programming
November 19-20, 2018
http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/events/taasp18/
=======================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
Answer set programming (ASP) is a widely used declarative programming
paradigm based on the stable-model semantics. Over the years, the
formalism has been extended with new language elements, advanced
evaluation techniques have been developed, and efficient and
expressive systems have been realized. These advancements turned ASP
into a rich modeling language which was successfully applied to
various tasks in artificial intelligence and beyond, including
combinatorial problems and knowledge-intense tasks. Driven by the
needs of applications, ongoing research in the field comprises, for
instance, the integration with other paradigms (such as constraint
programming), distributed computation, temporal and stream reasoning.
These developments aim at the ultimate goal of equipping ASP with the
features needed for realizing modern information systems. This
workshop focuses on recent trends in the area of ASP, including novel
techniques for the evaluation of ASP programs, extensions of the
formalism, integration with other formalisms, advancements of
systems, and benchmark suites. Furthermore, discussions of
applications of ASP and its extensions in AI and industry are
welcome.
SUBMISSIONS
We welcome two categories of submissions:
- original research that is described (at most 15 pages), and
- abstracts of already published research (at most 2 pages).
All submissions should be in the Springer LNCS format:
http://www.springeronline.com/lncs/
Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the
Easychair system. All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
The submission page is available here:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=taasp2018
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: September 30, 2018
Author notification: October 22, 2018
Camera-ready articles due: November 9, 2018
Workshop: November 19-20, 2018
LOCATION
The workshop will be held at Technische Universität Wien, Austria.
PROCEEDINGS
TAASP is a non-archival venue and there will be no published
proceedings. However, informal proceedings will be provided and the
papers will be posted informally on the workshop website. Therefore,
it will be possible to submit to other conferences and journals both
in parallel and subsequent to TAASP 2018.
