CFP: The 10th Prolog Programming Contest

Call for Participants
The 10th Prolog Programming Contest

This year's Prolog Programming Contest will be organised at
the occasion of the 20th International Conference on Logic
Programming, ICLP 2004, in Saint-Malo, France.

The contest will be held on site in Saint-Malo on Monday 6 September
2004 at 17h CET. Participating teams may consist of up to 3 people
who share a single laptop they provide. Registration is done on site
as a team or individual (we will find a team for you).

The contest itself consists in solving in a limited time as many
problems as possible. Typically, you will get 5 problems and the
number of correct solutions and the speed of finding the solutions
(not their performance !) determines the winners.
Bring with you all your wits: this is your chance to gain long lasting
recognition as the best LP programmer at ICLP04.

The winning team will be mentioned during a small ceremony at the
conference banquet and its members receive a token as a proof of
their superior programming and prototyping skills.

At the same time, a webcontest will be organised, open to all. The
questions will be announced on Monday 6 September 2004 at 17h CET on
the Prolog Programming Contest website:

No pre-registration is necessary for the webcontest.

The following major open source Prolog systems (in alphabetical
ordering) are allowed: Ciao (1.10), GNU Prolog (1.2.16), SWI
(5.3.20), XSB (2.6), YAP (4.4.4).
