20 - 27 September 2021, The 8th Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2021), Virtual

Date: 20 - 27 September 2021
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Sunday 1 August 2021

Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms.

The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work. After seven successful editions of this workshop, the eighth edition of PLP will be held at the ICLP virtual conference organised by the University of Porto. We hope that this encourages further collaboration between researchers in PLP and researchers working in other areas of ICLP.

Submissions will be managed via EasyChair. Contributions should be prepared in the LNCS style. A mixture of papers are sought including: new results; work in progress; and technical summaries of recent substantial contributions.  Papers presenting new results should be 6-15 pages in length. Work in progress and technical summaries can be shorter (2-5 pages). The workshop proceedings will clearly 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.
