at the workshop in Orlèans, as well as new submissions on all topics of the workshop.
 
Topics include but are not limited to:
--------------------------------------
 
   * probabilistic logic programming formalisms
   * parameter estimation
   * statistical inference
   * implementations
   * structure learning
   * reasoning with uncertainty
   * constraint store approaches
   * stochastic and randomised algorithms
   * probabilistic knowledge representation and reasoning
   * constraints in statistical inference
   * applications, such as

   * * semantic web
   * * robotics
   * probabilistic graphical models
   * answer set programming
   * Bayesian learning
   * tabling for learning and stochastic inference
   * MCMC
   * stochastic search
   * labelled logic programs
   * integration of statistical software
