Aims and scope

LPNMR 2026 is the eighteenth in the series of international conferences on logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning. LPNMR is a forum for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. The aim of the conference is to facilitate interactions between researchers and practitioners interested in the design and implementation of logic-based programming languages and database systems, and those working in knowledge representation and non-monotonic reasoning. LPNMR strives to encompass theoretical and experimental studies that have led or will lead to advances in declarative programming and knowledge representation, as well as their use in practical applications. LPNMR 2026 aims to bring together researchers from LPNMR and neighboring areas in order to share research experiences, promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research.

The LPNMR 2026 Recently Published Research (RPR) track provides a forum to discuss recent research on topics related to logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning. We invite submissions of extended abstracts of papers that have appeared or have been accepted for publication in journals or conference proceedings in the years 2024-2026, but which have not already been presented at LPNMR. (Papers that have been presented at informal workshops, but have neither been published nor accepted at a journal or conference, are not eligible for the LPNMR 2026 RPR track.) The extended abstract should give an overview of the contributions of the published or accepted paper and outline its relevance to LPNMR.
