Subject: CADE-9

                                CADE-9
         9th International Conference on Automated Deduction
                           May 23-26, 1988
             Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers

CADE-9 will be held at Argonne National Laboratory in celebration of
the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the resolution principle at
Argonne in the summer of 1963.  Papers are invited in the following or
related fields:

     Theorem Proving          Logic Programming
     Unification              Deductive Databases
     Term Rewriting           Theorem Proving for Non-Standard Logics
     Program Verification     Inference Systems
     Program Synthesis        Applications

{/it Long papers} (up to 5000 words) are for established results.
{/it Short papers} (up to 2500 words) are for succinct results of
ongoing research.  Also solicited are system summaries describing
working reasoning systems (up to 500 words) and problem sets providing
realistic yet interesting challenges for automated reasoning systems.
Six copies should be sent to arrive before November 23rd, 1987 to

                               FGCS '88
                           Call For Papers
  International Conference on Fifth Generation Computer Systems 1988
                             Tokyo, Japan
                    28 November - 2 December 1988

FGCS '88 is an international conference following on from the last
conference, FGCS'84.  The conference will last for five days.  The
first two will be primarily devoted to reporting FGCS project's
results while the last three will involve technical sessions for
presentation of papers and related discussions.

The scope of technical sessions includes the technical aspects of
new generation computer systems which are particularly within the
framework of knowledge information processing, logic programming and
parallel architectures.  This conference is intended to promote
interaction among researchers in all disciplines related to fifth
generation computer technology.  Of special interest are papers
discussing future directions or prospects of new generation computing.
The topics of interest include the following:

          Software                              Architecture
          Logic/functional/object-oriented      Inference machines
          Parallel programming languages        Knowledge base machines
            and methodologies                   Parallel
          Programming verification/debugging    VLSI
          Program analysis/transformation       Human-machine

          Applications                          Foundations
          Knowledge based systems               Automated Reasoning
          NL understanding                      Theory of parallel computation
          Real-time systems                     Formal Semantics
          Paralle systems                       Foundations of AI
          Games and simulation                  New Generation prospects
                                                Social Impact of FGCS

Authors should send six copies of manuscripts to:

          Prof. Hidehiko Tanaka
          FGCS'88 Program Chairman
