This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning, LPAR-19, held in December 2013 in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The 44 regular papers and 8 tool descriptions and experimental papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 152 submissions. The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where year after year, some of the most renowned researchers in the areas of logic, automated reasoning, computational logic, programming languages and their applications come to present cutting-edge results, to discuss advances in these fields and to exchange ideas in a scientifically emerging part of the world.

This volume presents the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Logic Programming and Automated Reasoning, held aboard the ship "Marshal Koshevoi" on the Dnieper near Kiev, Ukraine in July 1994. The LPAR conferences are held annually in the former Soviet Union and aimed at bringing together researchers interested in LP and AR. This proceedings contains the full versions of the 24 accepted papers evaluated by at least three referees ensuring a program of highest quality. The papers cover all relevant aspects of LP and AR ranging from theory to implementation and application.

This volume contains the proceedings of LPAR '92, the international conference on logic programming and automated reasoning held in St. Petersburg in July 1992. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers from the Russian and the international logic programming and theorem proving communities. The topics of interest covered by papers inthe volume include automated theorem proving, non-monotonic reasoning, applications of mathematical logic to computer science, deductive databases, implementation of declarative concepts, and programming in non-classical logics. LPAR '92 is the successor of the First and Second Russian Conferences on Logic Programming held in 1990 and 1991, respectively, the proceedings of which were publishedin LNAI Vol. 592.

This textbook aims to help the reader develop an in-depth understanding of logical reasoning and gain knowledge of the theory of computation. The book combines theoretical teaching and practical exercises; the latter is realised in Isabelle/HOL, a modern theorem prover, and PAT, an industry-scale model checker. I also give entry-level tutorials on the two software to help the reader get started. By the end of the book, the reader should be proficient in both software. Content-wise, this book focuses on the syntax, semantics and proof theory of various logics; automata theory, formal languages, computability and complexity. The final chapter closes the gap with a discussion on the insight that links logic with computation. This book is written for a high-level undergraduate course or a Master's course. The hybrid skill set of practical theorem proving and model checking should be helpful for the future of readers should they pursue a research career or engineering in formal methods.

This volume contains the papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Logic for Programming and Automated Reasoning (LPAR'99), held in Tbilisi, Georgia, September 6-10, 1999, and hosted by the University of Tbilisi. Forty-four papers were submitted to LPAR'99. Each of the submissions was reviewed by three program committee members and an electronic program com mittee meeting was held via the Internet. Twenty-three papers were accepted. We would like to thank the many people who have made LPAR'99 possible. We are grateful to the following groups and individuals: to the program committee and the additional referees for reviewing the papers in a very short time, to the organizing committee, and to the local organizers of the INTAS workshop in Tbilisi in April 1994 (Khimuri Rukhaia, Konstantin Pkhakadze, and Gela Chankvetadze). And last but not least, we would like to thank Konstantin - rovin, who maintained the program committee Web page; Uwe Waldmann, who supplied macros for these proceedings and helped us to install some programs for the electronic management of the program committee work; and Bill McCune, who implemented these programs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Logic for Programming and Automated Reasoning, LPAR 2000, held in Reunion Island, France in November 2000. The 26 revised full papers presented together with four invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on nonmonotonic reasoning, descriptive complexity, specification and automatic proof-assistants, theorem proving, verification, logic programming and constraint logic programming, nonclassical logics and the lambda calculus, logic and databases, program analysis, mu-calculus, planning and reasoning about actions.

Interest in computer applications has led to a new attitude to applied logic in which researchers tailor a logic in the same way they define a computer language. In response to this attitude, this text for undergraduate and graduate students discusses major algorithmic methodologies, and tableaux and resolution methods. The authors focus on first-order logic, the use of proof theory, and the computer application of automated searches for proofs of mathematical propositions.

This book celebratesthe 25th anniversaryof GULP—the Italian Associationfor LogicProgramming.Authored by Italian researchersat the leading edge of their ?elds, it presents an up-to-date survey of a broad collection of topics in logic programming, making it a useful reference for both researchers and students. During its 25-year existence, GULP has organised a wide range of national and international activities, including both conferences and summer schools. It has been especially active in supporting and encouraging young researchers, by providing scholarships for GULP events and awarding distinguished disser- tions. WeintheinternationallogicprogrammingcommunitylookuponGULPwith a combination of envy, admiration and gratitude. We are pleased to attend its conferences and summer schools, where we can learn about scienti?c advances, catch up with old friends and meet young students. It is an honour for me to acknowledge our appreciation to GULP for its outstanding contributions to our ?eld and to express our best wishes for its continuing prosperity in the future. March 2010 Robert Kowalski Imperial College London Preface On June 18, 1985, a group of pioneering researchers, including representatives from industry, national research labs, and academia, attended the constituent assembly of the Group of researchers and Users of Logic Programming (GULP) association. That was the starting point of a long adventure in science, that 1 we are still experiencing 25 years later. This volume celebrates this important event.

Constraint-based reasoning is an important area of automated reasoning in artificial intelligence, with many applications. These include configuration and design problems, planning and scheduling, temporal and spatial reasoning, defeasible and causal reasoning, machine vision and language understanding, qualitative and diagnostic reasoning, and expert systems. Constraint-Based Reasoning presents current work in the field at several levels: theory, algorithms, languages, applications, and hardware. Constraint-based reasoning has connections to a wide variety of fields, including formal logic, graph theory, relational databases, combinatorial algorithms, operations research, neural networks, truth maintenance, and logic programming. The ideal of describing a problem domain in natural, declarative terms and then letting general deductive mechanisms synthesize individual solutions has to some extent been realized, and even embodied, in programming languages.
