ICLP 2017, the 33rd International Conference on Logic Programming,
will be held in Melbourne, Australia, from August 29 to September 1, 
2017.

The ICLP conference series has a long standing tradition of hosting
a rich set of co-located workshops. ICLP workshops provide a unique
opportunity for the presentation and discussion of work that can be
preliminary in nature, novel ideas, and new open problems to a wide 
and interested audience.

Co-located workshops also provide an opportunity for presenting
specialized topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and
project collaboration. The topics of the workshops co-located with
ICLP 2017 can cover any areas related to logic programming, (e.g.,
theory, implementation, environments, language issues, alternative
paradigms, applications), including cross-disciplinary areas. However,
any relevant workshop proposal will be considered.

The format of the workshop will be decided by the workshop organizers,
but ample time should be allowed for general discussion. Workshops can
vary in length, but the optimal duration will be half a day or a full
day.

Workshop Proposal:
==================
Those interested in organizing a workshop at ICLP 2017 are invited to
submit a workshop proposal. Proposals should be in English and about
two pages in length. They should contain:

 * The title of the workshop.
 * A brief technical description of the topics covered by the workshop.
 * A discussion of the timeliness and relevance of the workshop.
 * A list of some related workshops held in the last years
 * The estimated length of  the workshop and an estimate of the number 
   of expected attendees.
 * The names, affiliation and contact details (email, web page,
   phone) of the workshop organizers together with a designated
   contact person.
 * Previous experience of the workshop organizers in
   workshop/conference organization.

Proposals are expected in text or PDF format. All proposals should be
submitted to the Workshop Chair by email by March 27, 2017.

Reviewing Process:
==================
Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the Workshop, Program and
General Chairs. Proposals that appear well-organized and that fit the
goals and scope of ICLP will be selected.  The decision will be
notified by email to the responsible organizer by April 10, 2017.

The definitive length of the workshop will be planned according to the
number of submissions received by the different workshops. For every
accepted workshop, the ICLP local organizers will prepare a meeting
room. The workshops and the conference organizers will collaborate in
establishing a uniform approach to produce uniform and accessible 
proceedings for the workshops.


Workshop Organizers' Tasks:
===========================
