<div class="ContentPasted0">Scope</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">*****</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international event for presenting research in logic programming. Contributions are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted
to:</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Theoretical Foundations.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Language Design and Programming Methodologies.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Program Analysis and Optimization.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Implementation Methodologies.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Related Paradigms, Integration, and Synergies.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Applications of Logic Programming.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">Tracks and Special Sessions</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">***************************</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">Besides the main track, ICLP 2023 will host additional tracks:</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Applications Track:</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> we invite submissions of papers on emerging and deployed applications of LP, describing all aspects of the development, deployment, and evaluation of logic programming systems to solve real-world problems, including interesting
case studies and benchmarks, and discussing lessons learned.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Thematic Tracks:</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> we invite submissions to two thematic tracks, exploring specific roles and potential for logic programming; these thematic tracks are:</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> - Logic Programming and Machine Learning</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> - Logic Programming and Explainability, Ethics, and Trustworthiness</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Recently Published Research Track:</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> this track provides a forum to discuss important results related to logic programming that appeared recently (from January 2021 onwards) in selective journals and conferences, but have not been previously presented at ICLP.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** System Demonstrations:</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> we invite submissions showcasing logic programming systems and implementations in a live setting. This track is not designed to be sales pitches, demonstrations are a way for the community to see the relevance, potential, and
innovation of the tool and allow time for discussion with its creator.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions:</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> we invite proposals for sessions meant to provide an inclusive environment for colleagues with similar interests to meet for informal discussion. Proposers of BoF sessions should serve as discussion leaders only. BoFs are not
intended to be presentations.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">In addition, ICLP 2023 will host:</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Doctoral Consortium and Mentoring Sessions:</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> the Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides students and early career researchers with the opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, obtain feedback from both peers and experts in the field,
and participate in mentoring sessions on how to prepare and succeed for a research career. We will have leaders in logic programming research from academia and industry to give invited talks on their research areas. The best paper from the DC will be given
the opportunity to make a presentation in a session of the main ICLP conference.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Tutorials.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Co-located Workshops.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Summer School on Logic Programming.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">** Logic Programming Contest.</div>

describe the expected audience, identify discussion leaders and their expertise, and provide a brief description of the activities during the BoF session. We expect BoFs to be inclusive and involve active participation for attendees. Describe how your BoF
