                      Eleventh ICLP Doctoral Student Consortium

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

The ICLP Doctoral Consortium (DC) is the eleventh doctoral consortium to 
be held as part of the 31st International Conference on Logic 
Programming (ICLP 2015). The DC will take place during ICLP 2015 in 
Cork, Ireland. It provides a forum for doctoral students working in 
areas related to logic and constraint programming, with a particular 
emphasis to students interested in pursuing a career in academia. The DC 
gives students the opportunity to present and discuss their research and 
to obtain feedback from peers as well as world-renowned experts.

** Target Audience **

The DC is designed for students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, 
though we are also open to exceptions (e.g., students currently in a 
Master's program and interested in doctoral studies). Students at any 
stage in their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply for 
participation in the DC. Applicants are expected to conduct research in 
areas related to logic and constraint 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
- Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning
- Logic Programming and Causality
- Logic Programming Systems

Submissions by students who have presented their work at previous ICLP 
DC editions are allowed, but should occur only if there are substantial 
changes or improvements to the student's work.

The DC allows participants to interact with established researchers and 
fellow 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.

** Application Process **

An application for participation in the ICLP DC 2015 consists of a cover 
letter, a research summary, and a letter of recommendation (e.g., from 
your supervisor). All applications must be in English and submitted 
electronically via EasyChair, due to the application submission deadline 
16 May 2015. Detailed submission instructions are provided at the ICLP 
DC 2015 website:
       http://dc-iclp15.cs.bath.ac.uk/

The DC program committee will select participants based on their 
anticipated contribution to the DC objectives. Students will be selected 
based on clarity and completeness of their submission package, relevance 
of their research area w.r.t. the focus of ICLP, stage of research, 
recommendation letter, and evidence of promise towards a successful 
career in research and academia, such as published papers or technical 
reports.

The works accepted for presentation at the DC will be published in 
conjunction with the ICLP proceedings. Updates follow as soon as we have 
more information regarding this.

** Participant Funding **

The Association for Logic Programming supports ICLP DC 2015 
participants. The registration for the ICLP conference will be covered. 
We hope to also be able to provide assistance with accommodation.
