Probabili stic logic programming (PLP) approaches have recei ved much attention in this century. They address t he need to reason about relational domains under u ncertainty arising in a variety of application dom ains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, ro botics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that op erate over programs in these formalisms.
\n\nThe workshop encompasses all aspects of combini ng logic, algorithms, programming and probability and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, pr esentation of results and preliminary work. After seven successful editions of this workshop, the ei ghth edition of PLP will be held at the ICLP virtu al conference organised by the University of Porto . We hope that this encourages further collaborati on between researchers in PLP and researchers work ing in other areas of ICLP.
\nSubmissions will be managed via EasyChair. Contri butions should be prepared in the LNCS style. A mi xture of papers are sought including: new results; work in progress; and technical summaries of rece nt substantial contributions. Papers present ing new results should be 6-15 pages in length. Wo rk in progress and technical summaries can be shor ter (2-5 pages). The workshop proceedings will cle arly indicate the type of each paper. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution.< /p>\n
