GENERAL INFORMATION

Since its inception, Logic Programming (LP) has proven itself as a powerful
technique for tackling concrete problems, such as configuration, scheduling,
and planning. Yet, LP and related approaches have difficulties gaining wider
traction within industry, and LP adoption is still largely driven by an academic
push rather than an industry pull. A key reason for this discrepancy is the fact
that building accurate programs is a difficult, costly, and error-prone process,
especially for people without prior LP experience. More generally, this problem
is known as the Knowledge Acquisition Bottleneck, which is a challenge for all
approaches in the broader field of knowledge representation.

To help tackle this issue, researchers have been looking at ways to improve the
accessibility of LP. More recently, the research direction has seen a significant
rise in interest. Still, with no dedicated event to support it, tools and
methodologies can be scattered and hard to find.

The "End-user Logic Programming" (EULP) workshop offers a dedicated forum for work
on techniques and methodologies that lower the logic programming threshold for
non-experts. Additionally, we also welcome work which allows LP-approaches to be
turned into full-fledged, user-ready products. In this way, we facilitate sharing
new techniques, and stimulate networking between researchers from different fields.


SCOPE

EULP welcomes all works that aim to lower the threshold related to logic programming
for non-experts and to help LP approaches gain more traction in real-life situations.
A non-exhaustive list of topics includes:

    - User-friendly formalisms, such as Controlled Natural Languages and graphical languages
    - Accessible interactivity with logic programs
    - Visualisation methods
    - Explainability
    - LLM-assisted workflows: LLMs in formalization, validation, explanation, and others
    - Integration of LP approaches in traditional programs
    - Cognitive modeling complexity of LP
    - Accessible UI design for LP-based tools


SUBMISSIONS

We invite three types of submissions:

    - Long papers (up to 14 pages) describing original, unpublished research.
    - Short papers (up to 8 pages) describing original, unpublished research.
    - Extended abstracts (2-4 pages) of work that has already been published.


Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication.
Therefore, all papers should use the CEURART style (https://eulp.gitlab.io/eulp2026/ceur.zip).


Submission Site

Papers should be submitted through the dedicated EULP submission system:
