uncertainty, Knowledge representation, Semantic issues of combining logic
and neural models, Complexity results.

Language Design and Programming Methodologies:

Concurrency and parallelism, Mobility, Interacting with ML, Logic-based
domain-specific languages, Hybrid logical and imperative/functional
languages, Programming techniques, Answer Set Programming, Inductive Logic
Programming, Coinductive Logic Programming

Program Analysis and Optimization:

Analysis, Transformation, Verification, Debugging, Profiling,
Visualization, Logic-based validation of generated programs.

Implementation Methodologies:

Compilation, Parallel/distributed execution, Constraint implementation,
Tabling, Logic-based prompt engineering, User interfaces.
