Workshops

The ICLP 2016 program will include four workshops.  They  are perhaps  the
best  places  for  the  presentation of preliminary work, underdeveloped 
novel
ideas, and new open problems to a wide and interested audience with 
opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaboration.

Autumn School on Computational Logic

A  school on computational logic is planned.  More up to date 
information will
be available at the conference Web page.

Doctoral Consortium

The Twelfth Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides  research
students  with  the  opportunity  to present and discuss their research 
directions, and to obtain feedback from  both  peers and  experts  in  
the  field.
Accepted  participants  will  receive  partial financial support to 
attend the
event and the main conference. The best paper from the DC will be  
given  the
opportunity to present in a session of the main ICLP conference.

Conference Venue

The  venue  will  be  the  Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel in Flushing, 
New York
City.  New York City is an international  tourist  destination, 
receiving  56
million  tourists in 2014 alone. Several sources have ranked New York 
the most
photographed city in the world. Times square, known as the city's  
heart,  is
the  brightly  illuminated hub of the Broadway theatre district. The 
Statue of
Liberty greets new arrivals to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and 
early
20th century, and is a globally recognized symbol of the United States. 
Flushing is associated by many with the  National  Tennis Centre,  
since  Flushing
Meadows  has  been  the home of the US Open Grand Slam tennis tournament 
every
year since 1978.

New York is the most populous city in the United States and one of  the  
most
populous  urban  agglomerations  in  the world. Situated in one of the 
world's
largest natural harbours, New York City consists of  five boroughs,  
each  of
which is a separate county of New York State. The conference hotel is 
situated
in the Queens borough, just a two-minute walk from  the Flushing-Main  
Street
rail station.  Direct train lines take you directly from there to Times 
Square
in just over 45 minutes, which is fast for New York City. The Museum of 
Modern
Art  can  be  reached in under 40 mins, Grand Central Terminal in 40 
mins, the
Empire State Building under 50 mins, and The High Line Park in 50 minutes.

The hotel is also close to LaGuardia Airports and JFK.  LaGuardia is  
just  3
miles  away  and  the  hotel  offers a complementary shuttle service.  
John F.
Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 10 miles away and can be reached 
within
30  minutes  by  taxi.  The hotel is situated in a vibrant Asian 
district that
offers a variety of Eastern cuisine, as well as many stores and shops.
