AIMS AND SCOPE
Datalog 2.0 is a workshop for Datalog researchers, implementors, and 
users. Its aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners 
interested in different aspects of Datalog to share research 
experiences, promote collaboration and identify directions for joint 
future research.
The 4th International Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia 
and Industry (Datalog 2.0 2022) will be held in Genova, Italy, on 
September 5, 2022. Datalog 2.0 2022 is a workshop of the 16th 
International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic 
Reasoning (LPNMR 2022).
The first edition of Datalog 2.0 was held in Oxford, UK, in 2010, and it 
was by invitation only. Since Datalog has resurrected as a lively topic 
with applications in many different areas of computer science, as well 
as industry, the second and the third edition of the workshop, which 
were held in Vienna in 2012 and in Philadelphia in 2019, respectively, 
were open for submissions.

VENUE
The workshop will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio 
Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/, information available only in 
Italian on this link), which is a college directly situated on the see. 
(To be confirmed. Alternative: University of Genova.)
Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same 
name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Genova’s old 
town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is 
one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and 
architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so 
homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa, 7 km east of 
central Genova. Two of the most important tourist attractions of Genoa 
are in Nervi: the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs, and 
the "Parchi di Nervi".
The sea promenade is famous for the stunning views that make it one of 
Italy's most beautiful promenades. While the "Parchi di Nervi" is a park 
of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa 
Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean 
plant species and many exotic species and the entrance is just at the 
end of the promenade.
In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a 
fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, 
sea promenades, aristocratic villas, and of course the Riviera to the 
east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also 
UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and 
Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west.
Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order 
to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person 
event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely 
on-line.
