"Part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC)"--Preface

Spine title: ICLP 2002.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Logic Programming, ICLP 2002, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July/August 2002. The 29 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions and 13 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. All current aspects of logic programming and computational logic are addressed.
