			     -----------


The  2007 ICLP  Doctoral Consortium  (DC) is  the  third international
doctoral  consortium  to  be  offered  as part  of  the  International
Conference on  Logic Programming. The  DC will take place  during ICLP
2007  in Porto,  Portugal.  The Doctoral  Consortium  is designed  for
doctoral students  working in areas  related to logic  programming, as
well as  Master's students interested in pursuing  doctoral degrees in
the field of logic programming.

The Doctoral  Consortium aims to provide students  with an opportunity
to  present  and  discuss  their  research directions  and  to  obtain
feedbacks from  peers as  well as world-renown  experts in  the field.
The Doctoral  Consortium will also  offer invited speakers  and panels
discussions.

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

The Doctoral Consortium  is held the during the  regular activities of
the ICLP 2007 Conference. The aims of the Doctoral Consortium are:

   * To provide  doctoral students  working in the  field of  logic and
     constraint programming  with a friendly and open  forum to present
     their research  ideas, listen to ongoing work  from peer students,
     and receive constructive feedback

   * To  provide  students with  relevant  information about  important
     issues for doctoral candidates and future academics

   * To  develop a  supportive community  of scholars  and a  spirit of
     collaborative research.

   * To support  a new generation  of researchers with  information and
     advice  on  academic,  research, industrial,  and  non-traditional
     career paths.

The Consortium is designed for  students currently enrolled in a Ph.D.
program,  though  we  are  also  open to  exceptions  (e.g.,  students
currently in  a Masters program  and interested in  doctoral studies).
The Consortium is for students  at any stage of their doctoral studies
are  welcome  to  apply.  Applicants  are expected  to  be  conducting
research in the field of Logic Programming; topics of interest include
(but are not limited to):

   * Theoretical Foundations of Logic and Constraint Logic Programming
   * Sequential and Parallel Implementation Technology
   * Static and Dynamic Analysis, Abstract Interpretation, Compilation
     Technology, Verification
   * Logic-based Paradigms (e.g., Answer Set Programming, Concurrent
     Logic Programming, Inductive Logic Programming)
   * Innovative Applications of Logic Programming

The  Consortium  allows  participants  to  interact  with  established
researchers and with  other students, through presentations, question-
answer  sessions, panel  discussions, and  invited  presentations. The
Doctoral Consortium will provide  the possibility to reflect - through
short  activities,  information sessions,  and  discussions  - on  the
process and lessons of research and life in academia. Each participant
will give a short, critiqued, research presentation.

The Doctoral  Consortium will be held  on a date to  be determined, in
parallel with the regular activities  of the ICLP 2007 conference; the
ICLP conference will  run from September 8th to  September 13th, 2007.
Doctoral Consortium  participants will  be offered the  opportunity to
have   their  abstracts   published  in   the  ICLP   2007  conference
proceedings.

Discussants:
Several renowned faculty members and researchers in the field of Logic
Programming will  join in evaluating  the submission packets  and will
participate  in the  Doctoral  Consortium, providing  feedback to  the
presenters. The list  of the discussants will be  published at a later
date.
