    Description

    The International Workshop on Natural Language Understanding and Logic
    Programming was first organized in Rennes, France, in 1984. Since then
    similar workshops took place in Vancouver, Canada (1987), Dalgharten, Sweden
    (1991), Nara, Japan (1993), Lisbon, Portugal (1995) and most recently, the
    6th NLULP took place in Las Cruces, New Mexico in December 1999, as part of
    the International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'99). This year,
    NLULP is affiliated again with ICLP, The International Conference on Logic
    Programming, which is held as part of FLoC'02, The 2002 Federated Logic
    Conference, the major computational logic event of the year.

    Topics of interest include all aspects of the intersection of Natural
    Language Understanding with Logic Programming and Constraint (Logic)
    Programming, both theoretical and practical, in all levels of linguistic
    investigation. Special emphasis will be given to works addressing the
    logical, mathematical and computational relationships between linguistic
    formalisms and logic programming. Relevant issues include, but are not
    limited to, investigations of the logical theory underlying linguistic
    formalisms; alternative approaches to the semantics of such formalisms;
    applications of constraint logic programming to ``constraint-based''
    linguistic formalisms; issues governing grammar engineering, scalability,
    modularization, information encapsulation, etc; applications of inductive
    logic programming methods to NLP; higher-order logic programming;
    applications of functional programming to NLP; etc. However, all works
    dealing with issues of natural language and logic programming are welcome.

    Submission

    Papers should be written in English and describe original, unpublished work.
    They should emphasize completed rather than proposed work. The state of
    completion of reported results should be clearly indicated. Papers must be
    anonymous and refrain from self-reference. Accepted papers cannot be
    presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly
    available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other
    conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page.

    Submissions should be no longer than 15 pages (A4 or Letter format, single
    column, 11pt, at least 2.5cm / 1 inch margins), including title (but no
    author names), abstract, keywords and references. All contributions are to
    be made electronically, preferably as PDF attachments. Please send your
    anonymous submission to the organizer, shuly@cs.haifa.ac.il. If electronic
    submission is impossible, please contact the organizer. The deadline for
    submission is Sunday, 17 February, 2002.

    The anonymous submission should be accompanied by an e-mail listing the
    following details:

       * Authors' names and affiliations
       * Address
       * E-mail addresses
       * Title
       * Keywords
       * Abstract

    All submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the program
    committee. The accepted papers will be made available electronically as part
    of the Workshop's Proceedings. Depending on the quality of the submissions,
    we intend to publish selected papers in a special issue of the Journal of
    Language and Computation.
