== About the Proceedings ==

Following the initiative in 2010 taken by the Association for Logic Programming
and Cambridge University Press, the full papers accepted for the International
Conference on Logic Programming again appear as a special issue of Theory and
Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) and shorter papers appear in Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, published on line
through the Dagstuhl Research Online Publication Server (DROPS). Both sets of
papers were presented by their authors at the 27th ICLP. Together, the journal
special issue and the volume of short technical communications constitute the
proceedings of ICLP.

In response to the call for papers we received 67 submissions. Of those, 64 were
full papers submitted to the TPLP special issue track (21 of them applications
or systems papers). The program chairs acting as guest editors organized the
refereeing process with the help of the program committee and numerous external
reviewers.1 Each paper was reviewed by at least three anonymous referees who
provided full written evaluations. After the first round of refereeing 43 full
papers remained. Of these, 23 went through a full second round of refereeing
with written referee reports. Finally, all 43 papers went through a final,
copy-editing round. In the end the special issue contains 19 technical papers, 3
application papers, and 1 systems and tools paper. During the first phase of
reviewing the papers submitted to the technical communications track were also
reviewed by at least three anonymous referees providing full written
evaluations. Also, a number of full paper submissions were moved during the
reviewing process to the technical communications track.
