                     Tenth International Conference on
                    Inductive Logic Programming (ILP2000)
                          July 24-28, 2000, London

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction

This is the tenth conference in the highly succesful series of International
Workshops/Conferences on Inductive Logic Programming, which has run anually
since 1991. 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.
