                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                      SECOND ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON
                      LOGIC IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

                          22 - 25 June 1987
              Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA


THE SYMPOSIUM will cover a wide range of theoretical and  practi-
cal  issues  in  Computer Science that relate to logic in a broad
sense, including algebraic and topological approaches.

Suggested  (but  not  exclusive)  topics  of  interest   include:
abstract data types, computer theorem proving, verification, con-
currency, type theory and constructi ve  mathematics,  data  base
theory,  foundations of logic programming, program logics and se-
mantics, knowledge and belief,  software  specifications,  logic-
based programming languages, logic in complexity theory.

PAPER SUBMISSION.  Authors should send 16 copies  of  a  detailed
abstract  (not  a  full  paper) by 9 DECEMBER 1986 to the program
chairman:

Abstracts must be clearly written and provide  sufficient  detail
to allow the program committee to assess the merits of the paper.
References and comparisons with related work should  be  included
where  appropriate.   Abstracts  must be no more than 2500 words.
Late abstracts or abstracts departing  significantly  from  these
guidelines  run a high risk of not being considered.  If a copier
is not available to the author,  a single copy  of  the  abstract
will be accepted.

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 30 JANUARY
1987.   Accepted  papers, typed on special forms for inclusion in
the symposium proceedings, will be due 30 MARCH 1987.

The symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society,  Techni-
cal  Committee  on Mathematical Foundations of Computing and Cor-
nell University, in cooperation wi th ACM SIGACT, ASL, and EATCS.
