WLP 2026 Call for Papers

40th Workshop on
(Constraint and Functional) Logic Programming (WLP 2026)
https://www.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/WLP2026/

Workshop at INFORMATIK 2026 (https://informatik2026.gi.de)
September 23, 2026 in Dresden, Deutschland
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Workshops on (Constraint) Logic Programming are the annual meeting 
of the German Society of Logic Programming [Gesellschaft
fuer Logische Programmierung e.V. (GLP)](https://www.glp-ev.de/)

The workshops provide provide a forum for exchanging ideas on
declarative logic programming, constraint logic programming,
non-monotonic reasoning, knowledge representation, and facilitates
interactions between research in theoretical foundations and the
design, implementation, and application of (constraint or functional) 
logic-based systems. Declarative approaches - especially in combination 
with other AI technologies and disruptive non-AI technologies - have an 
increasing relevance for digitalization projects in many sectors.

Contributions are welcome on all aspects of logic programming (LP),
constraint programming (CP), functional logic programming (LP), and 
other fields of artificial
intelligence, including, but not limited to the following areas:

     Logic programming
     Constraint programming
     Functional logic programming
     Deductive databases, data mining
     Extensions of declarative languages, objects
     Multi-paradigm declarative programming
     Foundations, semantics, nonmonotonic reasoning, dynamics
     Parallelism, concurrency
     Program analysis, abstract interpretation
     Program transformation, partial evaluation, meta-programming
     Specification, verification, declarative debugging
     Knowledge representation, machine learning
     Interaction of declarative programming with other formalisms/ AI 
technologies
     Implementation of declarative languages
     Advanced programming environments and tools
     Software engineering in the context of declarative programming
     Applications & project descriptions, e.g. in the fields planning, 
scheduling, configuration, computational law
     Lessons learned by teaching in the addressed fields

Submissions:

Authors should submit an electronic copy of the full paper in PDF and
in LaTex format using LNI style
(https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni)
  via the ConfTool conference management system 
(https://www.conftool.org/informatik2026/index.php?page=newPaper&form_contributiontypeID=27&newpaper=true). 
Before submitting, you have to register 
(https://www.conftool.org/informatik2026/)

Authors are invited to submit extended abstract (no longer than 12 
pages, excluding references)
system description (no longer than 6 pages, excluding references).

Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English 
or German, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings.

However, work that already appeared in unpublished or informally 
published workshops proceedings may be submitted, too.

Workshop languages are German and English.
