                         CALL FOR PAPERS
                            TAASP 2019
    Workshop on Trends and Applications of Answer Set Programming
                       November 18-19, 2019

=======================================================================

AIMS AND SCOPE
 Answer set programming (ASP) is a widely used declarative programming
 paradigm based on the stable-model semantics. Over the years, the
 formalism has been extended with new language elements, advanced
 evaluation techniques have been developed, and efficient and
 expressive systems have been realized. These advancements turned ASP
 into a rich modeling language that was successfully applied to
 various tasks in artificial intelligence and beyond, including
 combinatorial problems and knowledge-intense tasks. Driven by the
 needs of applications, ongoing research in the field comprises, for
 instance, the integration with other paradigms (such as constraint
 programming), distributed computation, temporal and stream reasoning.
 These developments aim at the ultimate goal of equipping ASP with the
 features needed for realizing modern information systems. This
 workshop focuses on recent trends in the area of ASP, including novel
 techniques for the evaluation of ASP programs, extensions of the
 formalism, integration with other formalisms, advancements of
 systems, and benchmark suites.  Furthermore, discussions of
 applications of ASP and its extensions in AI and industry are
 welcome.

SUBMISSIONS
 We welcome two categories of submissions:

 - full papers presenting original research (at most 15 pages), and
 - extended abstracts of already published research (at most 2 pages).

 All submissions should be in the Springer LNCS format:

     https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

 Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the
 Easychair system. All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
 The submission page is available here:

     https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=taasp2019

 In addition to full papers and extended abstracts, we welcome
 proposals for panel or audience discussions, where a proposal should
 indicate a discussion subject (e.g., ASP and explainable AI, ethics,
 industrial revolution 4.0, application challenges, future paths,
 etc.), the intended discussion format (panel or audience discussion),
 potential panelists or discussion moderator, and some key questions
 to discuss. Please enter discussion proposals as abstract only at the
 Easychair submission page:

     https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=taasp2019

IMPORTANT DATES
 Paper submission deadline:            September 30, 2019
 Author notification:                  October 21, 2019
 Camera-ready articles due:            November 8, 2019
 Workshop:                             November 18-19, 2019

LOCATION
 The workshop will be held at the University of Potsdam, Germany.

PROCEEDINGS
 TAASP is a non-archival venue and there will be no published
 proceedings. However, informal proceedings will be provided and the
 papers will be posted informally on the workshop website. Therefore,
 it will be possible to submit to other conferences and journals both
 in parallel and subsequent to TAASP 2019.
