Representation.
- Implementation: Compilation, Virtual Machines, Parallelism, Constraint Han-
dling Rules, Tabling.
- Environments: Program Analysis, Transformation, Validation, Verification,
Debugging, Profiling, Testing.
- Language Issues: Concurrency, Objects, Coordination, Mobility, Higher
Order, Types, Modes, Assertions, Programming Techniques.
- Related Paradigms: Inductive and Co-inductive Logic Programming, Constraint
Logic Programming, Answer-Set Programming, SAT-Checking.
- Applications: Databases, Big Data, Data Integration and Federation, Soft-
ware Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Web and Semantic Web,
Agents, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, and Education.
In addition to the presentations of accepted papers, the technical program
will include invited talks, advanced tutorials, the doctoral consortium, and
several workshops.

Workshops
The ICLP 2016 program will include several workshops. They are perhaps the
best places for the presentation of preliminary work, underdeveloped novel
ideas, and new open problems to a wide and interested audience with opportuni-
ties for intensive discussions and project collaboration.
Autumn School on Computational Logic
Students and researchers are invited to participate in the Autumn School with
the following tutorials:
* Roman Bartak: Constraint Logic Programming
* Veronica Dahl: Language processing through logic grammars and constraints
* Torsten Schaub: Answer Set Programming: foundations and applications
* C.R.Ramakrishnan: Verification and probabilistic logic programming
Information on scholarships can be found on the homepage:

Doctoral Consortium
The Twelfth Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides research
students with the opportunity to present and discuss their research direc-
tions, and to obtain feedback from both peers and experts in the field.
Accepted participants will receive partial financial support to attend the
event and the main conference. The best paper from the DC will be given the
opportunity to present in a session of the main ICLP conference.
Conference Venue
The venue will be the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel in Flushing, New York
City. New York City is an international tourist destination, receiving 56
million tourists in 2014 alone. Several sources have ranked New York the most
photographed city in the world. Times square, known as the city's heart, is
the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theatre district. The Statue of
Liberty greets new arrivals to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early
20th century, and is a globally recognized symbol of the United States. Flush-
ing is associated by many with the National Tennis Centre, since Flushing
Meadows has been the home of the US Open Grand Slam tennis tournament every
year since 1978.
New York is the most populous city in the United States and one of the most
populous urban agglomerations in the world. Situated in one of the world's
largest natural harbours, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of
which is a separate county of New York State. The conference hotel is situated
in the Queens borough, just a two-minute walk from the Flushing-Main Street
rail station. Direct train lines take you directly from there to Times Square
in just over 45 minutes, which is fast for New York City. The Museum of Modern
Art can be reached in under 40 mins, Grand Central Terminal in 40 mins, the
Empire State Building under 50 mins, and The High Line Park in 50 minutes.
The hotel is also close to LaGuardia Airports and JFK. LaGuardia is just 3
miles away and the hotel offers a complementary shuttle service. John F.
Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 10 miles away and can be reached within
30 minutes by taxi. The hotel is situated in a vibrant Asian district that
offers a variety of Eastern cuisine, as well as many stores and shops.
Sponsor
The conference is sponsored by the Association for Logic Programming (ALP),
LogicBlox Inc., Semantic Systems, and UT Dallas.
Financial Assistance
The Association for Logic Programming has funds to assist financially disad-
vantaged participants and, especially, students to enable them to attend the
conference. Inquiries should be made to the general chairs.
