                     June 4-7, 2019, Philadelphia, USA

                       

                     Co-located with Datalog 2.0 2019

                       Philadelphia Logic Week 2019

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 15th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic

Reasoning (LPNMR 2019) will be held in Philadelphia, USA, on June 3-5,

2019. LPNMR 2019 is a major event of the Philadelphia Logic Week 2019,

which is dedicated to the research on logic, knowledge representation,

and reasoning. The other major event of the Philadelphia Logic Week 2019 is

the 3rd International Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia and

Industry (Datalog 2.0 2019).

The objective of the LPNMR workshop program is to stimulate the discussion

and the exchange of ideas on topics related, but not limited, to declarative

logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. We

aim at creating a forum where researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines

may interact and have an opportunity to promote collaboration and identify

directions for joint future research. Accordingly, we solicit workshop

proposals on theoretical and applied research topics.

Workshop proposals should explain and motivate the topic of the workshop, and

discuss the format of presentation of the contributes. Workshops will likely

be half-day or one-day in duration, but we may consider longer programs.

VENUE

 Philadelphia, or the "City of Brotherly Love," is the sixth-largest city 

 in the United States and once served as the nation's capital. Philadelphia

 is an active historical and cultural hub, and has been striving for 

 excellence since 1776. The city's rich history of knowledge and academic 

 prowess has never diminished as it continues to promote and foster higher 

 education. Visitors can explore various attractions in and around 

 Philadelphia, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Franklin 

 Institute, the Barnes Foundation, the Reading Terminal Market, and much 

 more.

 Located on the East Coast of the U.S., between New York City and 

 Washington D.C., Philadelphia is easily reachable by air, train, and 

 car. As a testament to Philadelphia's commitment to educational 

 advancement, LPNMR 2019 will be held in one of the city's top colleges, 

 Saint Joseph's University. Saint Joseph's campus is located at the 

 outskirts of the city, in an area that features historic homes, green 

 areas, and a quick connection to Philadelphia's Center City and Old 

 City.
