Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is a research area in the
intersection of inductive machine learning and computational logic.
The aim of the scientific network ILPNET is to stimulate
the development, coordination, communication and
exchange of results and personnel in European ILP research and to
disseminate the research results to a wider European/world research
community. In the scientific sense, the aim of ILPNET is to
provide the infrastructure for the ongoing European research in ILP,
most of which is currently performed within the ESPRIT III Basic Research
Project No. 6020 Inductive Logic Programming. A
particular aim of ILPNET is to build new communication and
dissemination channels and to make them available to Central and
Eastern European researchers interested in ILP.
ILPNET has the following objectives:
- support the existing and build new communication channels
between ILPNET nodes,
- enable joint research activities by supporting
short visits of researchers at other ILPNET nodes,
- support organizing and attending specialized meetings and
workshops,
- build a common database of ILP scientific publications, data and
systems,
- promote the results of ILP research also outside ILPNET.
The management structure of ILPNET is the following:
- academic coordinator:
Nada Lavrac, J. Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia,
- management board: Project Managers of ILPNET nodes,
- academic secretary: Darko Zupanic, J. Stefan Institute,
Ljubljana, Slovenia.

This booklet is intended to provide an overview
of the current ILP research in Europe, by giving a compact
description of each ILPNET node, including a list of researchers,
main research areas, description of current research, list of recent
publications and exact addresses of contact persons.
This booklet was distributed by email to ILPNET partners and to
approx. 250 subscribers of ILPNET Newsletter (ILP Newsletter, Volume
1, Number 2, 23rd May 1994). It is also accessible via World-Wide Web
from the ILPNET title page.
