Aim of the School

The aim of the school is to provide a high level overview of recent research lines in the field of Logic Programming, which may also have strong connections with other related areas, such as Artificial Intelligence.The school is addressed to young researchers and PhD students, as well as to university and industry researchers who wish to stay in touch with latest developments in the Logic Programming field.
Participants are expected to have good knowledge of the fundamentals of Logic Programming.The school will take place in the beautiful surroundings of Alghero.
In this place we had two previous editions of the school on LP, in 1988 and 1990, and they have been very pleasant and successful.Four courses will be offered of about 5 to 8 hours each, with ample time for discussion. PhD students may ask to have a proficiency final exam at the end of the school (on Saturday, June 29th).
