                           *** IULP 2019 ***

      3rd International Workshop on User-Oriented Logic Paradigms

                             June 3 or 4, 2019

                    https://iulp2019.uni-leipzig.de

                          Collocated with the

         15th International Conference on Logic Programming and

                Nonmonotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2019)

                           Philadelphia, USA

                            June 4 - 6, 2019

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since the emergence of logic reasoning paradigms, such as logic programming,

argumentation, and other non-monotonic reasoning formalisms,

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 working with logic paradigms; for example experts benefit from

features like debugging and heuristic tuning, non-experts from educational

material, explanations, and intuitive visualisations - all of which are ongoing

topics of research.

The 3rd International Workshop of User-Oriented Logic Paradigms (IULP)

focuses on discussing different aspects involved in making logic paradigms more

user-friendly/oriented, where the "user" could be either an expert of the

paradigm, or a non-expert who simply uses tools developed for the paradigm in

some application.

IULP aims to bring together researchers working on different logic paradigms,

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 areas.

IULP aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the AI,

KR, and applied sciences community to discuss and present advances in

theories, formalisms, and applications to deliver the mature and

well-defined methods of logic paradigms to a wider audience.

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.

SUBMISSIONS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Computing Research Repository (CoRR).

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.
