=============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2015 8th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms https://sites.google.com/site/aspocp2015 August 31, 2015

Affiliated with the International Conference on Logic Programming 2015 (part of "The Year of George Boole") Cork, Ireland August 31 - September 4, 2015

===============================================================================

AIMS AND SCOPE Since its introduction in the late 1980s, answer set programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which has led to a method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most studied relationship which is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL theorem provers, and CLP systems. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web), constraint satisfaction, and general means of external computation. This workshop will facilitate the discussion about crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving, and applications, in combination with or inspired by other computing paradigms.

TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). - ASP and constraint programming. - ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). - ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. - ASP and external means of computation. - ASP and probabilistic reasoning. - ASP and machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions to ASP. - ASP and multi-agent systems. - ASP and multi-context systems. - Modularity and ASP. - ASP and argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. - Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. - ASP and related paradigms in applications. - Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding.

SUBMISSIONS Papers must describe original research and should not exceed 15 pages in the Springer LNCS format URL:http://www.springeronline.com/lncs/. Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the Easychair system. The submission page is available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aspocp2015

IMPORTANT DATES Abstract and paper submission deadline: June 10, 2015 Notification: July 15, 2015 Camera-ready articles due: July 31, 2015 Workshop: August 31, 2015

PROCEEDINGS

Accepted papers will be made available online.

We aim at selecting extended and revised versions of accepted papers to appear in a special issue of an international journal (provided that a sufficient amount of high quality papers is collected).

Such papers will go through a second formal selection process to meet the high quality standard of the journal.

LOCATION The workshop will be held in Cork, Ireland, collocated with the International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP) 2015.
