                            CALL FOR PAPERS

The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial 
Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year after year, some of 
the most renowned researchers in the areas of logic, automated reasoning, 
computational logic, programming languages and their applications come to 
present cutting-edge results, to discuss advances in these fields, and to 
exchange ideas in a scientifically emerging part of the world. The 21st LPAR 
will be held will be held in Maun, Botswana, at Cresta Riley's Hotel, 7-12th 
May 2017. The proceedings will be published by EasyChair Publications, in the 
EPiC Series in Computing. The volume will be open access and the authors will 
retain copyright.

 + Answer set programming
 + Automated reasoning
 + Constraint programming 	
 + Contextual reasoning 
 + Decision procedures
 + Description logics
 + Foundations of security
 + Hardware verification
 + Implementations of logic
 + Inconsistency- and exception tolerant reasoning
 + Interactive theorem proving 	
 + Knowledge representation and reasoning
 + Logic and computational complexity 	
 + Logic and databases
 + Logic and games 	
 + Logic and machine learning
 + Logic and the web 	
 + Logic and types
 + Logic in artificial intelligence 	
 + Logic of distributed systems
 + Logic of knowledge and belief
 + Logic programming 	
 + Logical aspects of concurrency
 + Logical foundations of programming 	
 + Modal and temporal logics
 + Model checking 	
 + Non-monotonic reasoning
 + Ontologies and large knowledge bases 	
 + Paraconsistent logics
 + Probabilistic and fuzzy reasoning
 + Program analysis 	
 + Rewriting
 + Satisfiability checking 	
 + Satisfiability modulo theories
 + Software verification 	
 + Specification using logic
 + Unification theory 	

==Organization 

 Program Chairs:
   David Sands (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden) 
   Thomas Eiter (Technische Universitaet Wien, Austria)
 Conference Chair: 
   Geoff Sutcliffe (University of Miami, USA)  

==Submission Details

Submissions of two kinds are welcome:

- Regular papers that describe solid new research results. They can be
  up to 15 pages long in EasyChair style, including figures but excluding 
  references and appendices (that reviewers are not required to read).

- Experimental and tool papers that describe implementations of
  systems, report experiments with implemented systems, or compare
  implemented systems. They can be up to 8 pages long in the EasyChair
  style.

Both types of papers must be electronically submitted in PDF via EasyChair:
 
    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lpar21

Authors must register a title and an abstract by the abstract submission 
deadline.

==Participation

Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one of
them will be present at the conference.
