Call for Proposals for ALP Conference Organization The Association for Logic Programming (ALP) supports two conferences a year: the International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP) and the International Logic Programming Symposium (ILPS), (formerly named the North American Conference on Logic Programming (NACLP)). The ICLP is normally held in June and the ILPS in October in North America. ICLP'90 was in Jerusalem; NACLP'90 was in Austin, Texas. Next year's ICLP'91 will be in Paris; and ILPS'91 (formerly NACLP'91) will be in San Diego. In 1992, there will be a joint meeting of ICLP and ILPS in the Washington, D.C. area. We are seeking preliminary proposals for organizing either of these meetings for 1993 or 1994. A proposal consists of volunteering to be General Chairman of the meeting and to be responsible for the budget and local arrangements in a proposed city. A proposal should include some discussion of any special features of the proposal that would bear on its selection. The procedure is that the Executive Committee of the ALP (EC) will then select one from the proposals submitted. At an appropriate later time, the EC will independently select a Program Chairman for the meeting to be responsible for the technical program. We already have some proposals for organizing the 1993 meetings, but we will entertain others. I am the conference coordinator for the ALP, so please send me (email: warren@cs.sunysb.edu) proposals, suggestions, or comments. Many thanks. David S. Warren Dept.
