The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and 
Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year after year, some of the most renowned researchers in 
automated reasoning, computational logic, programming languages and their applications come to 
present cutting-edge results, to discuss advances in these fields, and to exchange ideas in a 
scientifically emerging part of the world. The 18th edition will be held in Merida, Venezuela.
