Datalog 2.0 is a workshop for Datalog researchers, implementors, and users. Its aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in different aspects of Datalog to share research experiences, promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research.
The 6th International Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia and Industry (Datalog 2.0 2026) will be held in Klagenfrur, Austria. Datalog 2.0 is a workshop of the 18th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2026).
The first edition of Datalog 2.0 was held in Oxford, UK, in 2010, and it was by invitation only. Since Datalog has resurrected as a lively topic with applications in many different areas of computer science, as well as industry, the second, third, fourth, and fifth edition of the workshop, which were held in Vienna in 2012, Philadelphia in 2019, Genova in 2022, and Dallas 2024, respectively, were open for submissions.
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on the foundational aspects of Datalog, as well as on its applications in other areas of computer science and in industry. Potential areas of application of Datalog may include (among others):
data management, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning, neurosymbolic applications of datalog, cloud computing, distributed computing, logic programming, privacy and security, probabilistic reasoning, program analysis, programming languages, semantic web, social networks, streaming, verification, web services.
Datalog 2.0 2026 welcomes two types of submissions:
Long papers of up to 12 pages, presenting original research
Short papers of up to 5 pages that may contain either original ongoing research or recently published results
in the following categories:
Technical papers
System descriptions
Application descriptions
Long papers may additionally contain an appendix in addition to the 12 page limit.
The indicated number of pages includes title page and excludes references. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be submitted for publication in the CEUR Workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org). Authors can opt-out if desired. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present the work. Submissions must be written in English, using the CEURART style (either start with the Overleaf template and select Copy Project in the Menu, or download the offline version and use your favorite editor). Titles of Manuscripts, Sections and Subsections Must be Appropriately Capitalized.
For paper submission see the Datalog 2.0 2026 CMT site https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/DATALOG2026/
Up to five best regular papers will be invited for a special issue (joint with LPNMR) of the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP).
