Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at the 15th International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning (LPAR) held November 22–27 in Doha, Qatar on the premises of the Qatar campus of Carnegie Mellon University. In its 15th edition, LPAR looked back at a rich history. The conference evolved out of the First and Second Russian Conferences on Logic Programming, held in Irkutsk, in 1990, and aboard the ship “Michail Lomonosov” in 1991. The idea of organizing the conference came largely from Robert Kowalski, who also proposed the creation of the Russian Association for Logic Programming. In 1992, it was decided to extend the scope of the conference. Due to considerable interest in automated reasoning in the former Soviet Union, the conference was renamed Logic Programming and Automated Reasoning (LPAR). Under this name three meetings were held during 1992–1994: again on board the ship “Michail Lomonosov” (1992), in St. Petersburg, Russia (1993), and on board the ship “Marshal Koshevoi” (1994). In 1999, the conference was held in Tbilisi, Georgia. At the suggestion of Michel Parigot, the conference changed its name again to Logic for Programming and Automated Reasoning (preserving the acronym LPA
