"There are features that unite us, both Portuguese and Brazilian, and that are bigger than the language. And those are apparent in our way of being and in the way we live, in the refusal to live regulatory shapes and procedures that castrate the spontaneous.", José Celso Freire Júnior

CRACS researcher is part of the Executive Committee for the Association for Logic Programming

Vítor Santos Costa, researcher at the Center for Research in Advanced Computing Systems (CRACS) of INESC Porto LA, was elected to be member of the Executive Committee for the Association for Logic Programming - ALP).

Founded in 1986, ALP is the main organization in the world aiming to contribute to the development of Logic Programming and to the relation between logic programming and other humanistic and formal sciences, promoting their use in the universities and in the industry.

Quoting Vítor Santos Costa:

"For me, it’s a great honor to have been elected to become member of the Executive Committee for the Association for Logic Programming, the main association in my area of expertise. But that’s not a vote for one single person. Above all, this nomination reflects the importance of the work carried out by our research group over the last years. This work has only been possible due to a long collaboration between many researchers, and also due to the motivation that comes from the people that use our systems (most of the time accompanied by large doses of tolerance).

Now, I just hope I can use this opportunity to be able to contribute even more to the development and expansion of Logic Programming. For that, I’m counting on the support and contributions from all INESC Porto colleagues interested in this area ".
