<div><span style="color: #000000;">AIMS AND SCOPE</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">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.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">The 4th International Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia and Industry (Datalog 2.0 2022) will be held in Genova, Italy, on September 5, 2022. Datalog 2.0 2022 is a workshop of the 16th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2022).</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">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 and the third edition of the workshop, which were held in Vienna in 2012 and in Philadelphia in 2019, respectively, were open for submissions.</span></div>

<div><span style="color: #000000;">VENUE</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">The workshop will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio Emiliani (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.collegioemiliani.it/">http://www.collegioemiliani.it/</a>, information available only in Italian on this link), which is a college directly situated on the see. (To be confirmed. Alternative: University of Genova.)</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Genova’s old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa, 7 km east of central Genova. Two of the most important tourist attractions of Genoa are in Nervi: the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs, and the "Parchi di Nervi".</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">The sea promenade is famous for the stunning views that make it one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. While the "Parchi di Nervi" is a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species and the entrance is just at the end of the promenade.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas, and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west.</span></div><div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #000000;">Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.</span></div>
