ILP-2000 will be integrated with CL2000, the First International Conference on Computational Logic, a major new annual conference series bringing together the various communities of researchers who have a common interest in Computational Logic. ILP2000 and CL2000 will include an extensive joint series of invited speakers and tutorials and ILP2000 registrants will be able to attend all CL2000 events. Further information on ILP2000 and a registration form are available at the ILP2000 web site. The deadline for early registration is July 1. ______________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: Work in Progress Track Work-in-progress reports should be high in interest and potential, but will typically contain only preliminary results and analyses. The work-in-progress track is intended to showcase promising new directions and allow feedback on preliminary work. Challenge and position papers are also suitable. We especially encourage students to submit their preliminary work. Reports accepted for this track will be presented at the conference via a poster presentation and will appear in a booklet distributed to participants at the conference. Submission Papers should be no longer than 18 pages. Significantly shorter papers are very welcome. Please submit by sending a PostScript file to: ilp-2000@cs.york.ac.uk. Submissions must be in Springer LNCS/LNAI style, or equivalent (45 lines per page, 78 characters per line). For details see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that the PostScript file is printable. Timetable Submission deadline: 14 June 2000 Notification: within 10 working days after submission Camera-ready copy: 3 July 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ Availability of Funding ILP2000 is able to subsidize, in part or in whole, the registration fees of some participants who otherwise would be unable to attend. In allocating the funds, preference will be given to students and to those who have a paper in either the conference paper track or the work-in-progress track. (Note: The submission deadline for the latter is 14 June.) Anyone interested in obtaining this funding should send a brief message to the programme chairs (ilp2000@cs.york.ac.uk) stating their role in ILP2000 and explaining their financial situation. Requests received on or before 19 June will receive full consideration. ______________________________________________________________________ Further Information All submissions and enquiries should be sent to: ilp-2000@cs.york.ac.uk ILP2000 home page: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/ILP-events/ILP-2000/ CL2000 home page: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/cl2000/ ______________________________________________________________________ Program Chairs James Cussens (phone: +44 1904 434732 ) & Alan Frisch (phone: +44 1904432745) both at: Dept. of Computer Science, University of York, Heslington, YO10 5DD, UK (fax: +44 1904 432767) ______________________________________________________________________ Program Committee H.

ILP-2000 will be co-located with CL2000, the First International Conference on Computational Logica, major new annual conference series bringing together the various communities of researchers who have a common interest in Computational Logic. ILP2000 and CL2000 will include an extensive joint series of invited speakers and tutorials. Inquiries and suggestions about ILP-2000 should be sent by email to ilp-2000@cs.york.ac.uk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for papers ILP2000 seeks submission for its two tracks: one for conference papers and one for work in progress reports. Conference paper track We encourage papers that present substantial new results in theoretical, empirical and applied research in all areas of ILP. This includes, for example, results concerning logical settings for ILP, learning in the context of higher-order logics and constraint logic programming, as well as ILP systems that use probabilistic techniques and heuristics. Submissions addressing computational logic issues in ILP are especially welcome. Contributions that describe the use of ILP approaches in areas such as natural language processing, knowledge discovery in databases, bioinformatics, intelligent agent and information retrieval are encouraged. All accepted conference papers will appear in the ILP2000 proceedings, which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lectures Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series. It is hoped that a journal special issue will come out of selected papers in this track. Work in progress track Work-in-progress reports should be high in interest and potential, but will typically contain only preliminary results and analyses. The work-in-progress track is intended to showcase promising new directions and allow feedback on preliminary work. Challenge and position papers are also suitable. We especially encourage students to submit their preliminary work. Reports accepted for this track will be presented at the conference (probably via a poster presentation) and will appear in a booklet distributed to participants at the conference. Submission ILP2000 allows simultaneous submission to other conferences, provided this fact is clearly indicated when submitting. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings only if they are withdrawn from other conferences. Simultaneous submissions that are not clearly specified as such will be rejected. Papers submitted to either track should be no longer than 18 pages. Significantly shorter papers are very welcome. Please submit by sending a PostScript file to: ilp-2000@cs.york.ac.uk. Submissions must be in Springer LNCS/LNAI style, or equivalent (45 lines per page, 78 characters per line). For details see click here. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that the PostScript file is printable. If electronic submission is impossible, please notify ilp-2000@cs.york.ac.uk by 20 March 2000. The submission deadlines are listed below. All submissions will be acknowledged shortly after receipt.
