**** DESCRIPTION
The journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP)
announces a special issue on Logic Programming and the Web.
Recent years have seen a tremendous interest for Web technologies
that can employ some form of logical reasoning: in particular,
fields like the Semantic Web have shown that it is of primary
importance to find an appropriate interaction between the Web
infrastructure, and solutions coming from the logic programming area.
Therefore, this special issue aims to produce a reference selection
of high-quality papers, that try to cover this gap, showing all
the potential of cross-breeding these two worlds.

In particular, we solicit papers that cover the interaction between
logic programming in all its forms (including for example
Constraints, inductive logic programming, nonmonotonic reasoning,
data mining, databases, specification and verification of systems),
and Web Technologies (including for example the Semantic Web, Web Rules,
Query Languages, Semantic Web Services, Web Search and Web mining,
Ontologies for the Web, next-generation e-commerce, e-Government,
Web Trust, Web Privacy, smart portals, Web Security).
