4th Workshop on
Deductive Databases and Logic Programming
in conjunction with the
Joint International Conference and Symposium on Logic Programming

Following the previous meetings in Budapest (1993), Santa Margherita
Ligure (1994) and Kanagawa (1995), the 4th ICLP-workshop on
Deductive Databases and Logic Programming will be held in Bonn, Germany.
The meeting will be run as a post-conference workshop of the
1996 Joint International Conference and Symposium on Logic Programming,
which will be held on September 2-6, 1996.
The integration of techniques from deductive databases and logic programming
leads to intelligent information systems. Techniques from deductive databases
must be used for achieving efficient retrieval and reasoning in large knowledge
bases. Logic programming provides a powerful declarative language for accessing
and maintaining knowledge in databases.
Recent results in logic programming, program transformation and optimization,
and non-monotonic reasoning are useful for extending the expressive power and
the computational efficiency of deductive database systems.
The one-day workshop is intended to attract researchers working in the related
areas of deductive databases and logic programming.
The presentations are planned to be half an hour. A fundamental goal is to give
opportunities for active discussions on new research directions and the
exchange of latest results. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Topics
disjunctive databases, incomplete information
data mining
program transformations
execution and debugging models
query languages and optimization
constraint reasoning
object-orientation
active databases, updates, temporal databases
non-monotonic semantics
Submissions
The primary focus is on new and original research. But we also encourage the
submission of papers describing products, prototypes in development or
benchmarks.
Full papers or extended abstracts in English of 6 to 10 pages are welcome on
any aspects of deductive databases and new concepts of logic programming
supporting it, until June 21, 1996.
Authors are invited to send their papers to one of the organizers. Submission
in LaTeX or plain TeX format by e-mail is encouraged. Notification of
acceptance will be no later than July 10, 1996. The final, camera-ready versions
of the accepted papers must be received by August 2, 1996 to be included into
the workshop proceedings.
