            2nd Russian Conference on Logic Programming

              SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

   September 11-16, 1991, Leningrad (or possibly St.Petersburg)

The 2nd Russian Conference on Logic Programming  is  organized  by
the Russian  Association  for  Logic  Programming,  Joint  Venture
"Intertech"  (Moscow),  International  Laboratory  of  Intelligent
Systems (Novosibirsk) and Eurobalt Corp. It will take  place  from
September 11 to September 16. The first two  days  the  Conference
will be held in Leningrad (or, as we  hope,  in  St.  Petersburg).
>From September 13 it will continue on the board of a  ship  coming
along Neva River or  Ladoga  Lake.  The  Conference  program  will
include welcome party, 4 days of sessions and  conference  dinner.
The size of the ship allows to invite 150 participants. We  expect
about 100 participants from the USSR  and  about  50  participants
from abroad. The conference fee is 400 USD  for  participants  and
450 USD for accompanying persons. The conference fee includes full
board on the ship from the evening of September 11 to the  morning
of September 16.  Participants from the Eastern  countries  should
contact one of the co-chairs of the Organizing Committee about the
possibility to pay in the local currency. The official language is
English. Conference  proceedings  will  be  published  in  one  of
Western publishing companies after the Conference. Papers  in  all
areas of Logic Programming  are  welcome.  Send  5  copies  of  an
extended abstract (up to 15 double  spaced  pages)  to  the  Conf.
Secretary at the following address:

Gorchinskaya O.Yu.
Institut of Control Systems
Profsoyuznaya 65
117342 Moscow
USSR

   Important dates:

   May 15 - deadline for submission of papers;
   June 10 - notification of accepting or rejection

     Due to problems  of  communicating  by  mail  the  organizing
committee decided to publish  proceedings  after  the  Conference.
Participants should deliver camera-ready copies to  the  beginning
of the Conference.

   We recommend you to send the paper at least  one  month  before
the deadline for submission. In other case we  can  not  guarantee
that it will arrive at the time. We also ask to send separately by
email or fax the following information: full name, address,  title
of the talk, phone  and  fax  numbers  to  one  of  the  following
addresses:

Andrei Voronkov
SINTEL
Universitetski prospect 4
630090 Novosibirsk 90
USSR
fax +7-383-2-350860
email sintel@math.nsk.su

Eugene Dantsin
email dantsin@tor.spb.su

Those who wish to participate without presenting paper should send
the same information except the title of the talk to the same  fax
number or email addresses. But the number of participants is  very
limited and we can not guarantee participation.   The  usual  mail
can be  extremely  slow  (usually  three  weeks  from  Europe  but
sometimes much longer. So the only reliable way to communicate  is
via fax, telephone or email.  By  this  reason  we  shall  try  to
consider also some late applications (but not very late).
