               Call For Workshop Proposals - ILPS'95
             INTERNATIONAL LOGIC PROGRAMMING SYMPOSIUM
         Sponsored by the Association for Logic Programming
                    Post-Conference Workshops
 
			Portland, Oregon, USA
			   7-9 December 1995


The 1995 International Logic Programming Symposium will be held 
4-7 December 1995, in Portland, Oregon, USA. Approximately 5-6
post-conference workshops are planned for 7-9 December.  Researchers
and practioners are invited to submit proposals in all areas of
logic programming, and on cross-disciplinary topics involving
logic programming (for example, agent architectures or threads-based
language implementations).

To encourage active participation and exchange of ideas, the workshops will 
be kept small, preferably under 40 participants. The format of each workshop 
will be determined by it organizers, but it is expected that they contain
ample time for general discussion. Workshops can vary in length, 
but the expected duration will be half a day or a full day.  Having two or 
three co-organizers for a workshop is strongly advised.  Workshops are 
particularly appropriate for specialized subcommunities of researchers for
which a stand-alone workshop or conference is not yet justified.

Proposals for workshops should be about two pages in length, and 
should contain:

o   A description of the workshop, identifying specific technical 
    issues that will be addressed.
o   A discussion of the timeliness and relevance of the workshop. 
o   The name, postal address, phone and fax numbers, and email
    address of the workshop organizer(s) and identification of the 
    principal contact person. 
o   A proposed schedule for organizing the workshop and the
    preferred length of the workshop (one day or one-half day). 

Proposals should be submitted no later than 2 June 1995. Organizers will 
be notified approximately 30 June 1995.

Workshop organizers will be responsible for:

o   Producing a "Call for Participation" in the workshop and posting it 
    via various electronic lists and/or other means.
o   Providing a brief description of the workshop for the conference
    program.
o   Reviewing requests to participate in the workshop and selecting 
    participants.
o   Scheduling workshop activities in connection with the local
    arrangements committee
