The Italian Conference of Computational Logic (CILC) is the annual meting of the Italian Association for Logic Programming (GULP – Gruppo Ricercatori e Utenti Logic Programming) and since its first edition held in Genoa in 1986 it has represented an important occasion for meeting and exchanging ideas and experiences between users, researchers, and developers working in the field of Computational Logic.

The 38th annual conference will take place at the University of Udine and will be organized by the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics on 21-23 June 2023.

Over the years, the annual conference organized by GULP has broadened its horizons from the specific field of logic programming to the more general ones of Computational Logic, including for instance, declarative programming, constraints programming, and applications in various neighboring sectors, such as Artificial Intelligence and Deductive Databases. Once again with this year’s conference, the GULP intends to pursue, and possibly expand, this policy by identifying, with the more general term of Computational Logic, the entire variegated world of research, both basic and applied, which directly or indirectly uses or compare with the ideas and techniques of Computational Logic.

The conference program includes the presentation of contributions on specific theoretical or applied topics, and the presentation of software prototypes with the relative “demos”.

Two types of contribution are expected: long papers, possibly already published in journals or in proceedings of other conferences, or short papers. The latter are particularly suitable for presenting works in progress, even if not yet ready for publication, descriptions of software prototypes, summaries of doctoral theses, etc.
