                                CALL FOR PAPERS
     
                            THIRD ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON
                            LOGIC IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
     
                                  5-8 July 1988
                   University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland
     
Concepts and methods from Logic are influential throughout Computer Science.
The Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS) aims to attract
participation oc Computer Scientists, whose design or research activities
involve Logic, and Logicians interested in Computer Science.  Suggested (but
not exclusive) topics of interest include:  abstract data types, computer
theorem proving, concurrency, data base theory, knowledge representation,
finite model theory, lambda and combinatory calculi, logic programming, modal
and temporal logics, program logic and semantics, software specification, types
and categories, constructive mathematics, verification.
     
PROGRAM COMMITTEE: M. Dezani, Y. Gurevich (chair), J. Halpern, C.A.R. Hoare,
G. Huet, P. Kanellakis, J.-L. Lassez, J. Mitchell, R. Platek, G. Plotkin,
S. Rosenschein, P. Sistla, J. Tiuryn, M. Wand
     
PAPER SUBMISSION:  Send 14 copies of an extended abstract to the program
chairman:
     
   Yuri Gurevich - LICS                      (313) 971-2652
   Electrical Engineering and            Yuri_Gurevich@um.cc.umich.edu
        Computer Science Dept.
   University of Michigan
   Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-2122
     
The package must be airmail postmarked by 27 NOVEMBER 1987 or received by 4
DECEMBER 1987.  Abstract should 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.  The entire extended abstract should not exceed 10 double-spaced
pages in 10 or 12-point fonts.  Late abstracts or abstract departing
significantly from these guidlines run a high risk of not being considered.  If
a copier is not available to the author, a single copy of the abstract will do.
     
Author will be notified of acceptance of rejection by 27 JANUARY 1988.
Accepted papers, typed on special forms for inclusion in the symposium
proceedings, will be due 14 MARCH 1988.
     
The symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, Technical Committee on
Mathematical Foundations of Computing, and the University of Edinburgh, in
cooperation with ACM SIGACT, ASL, and EATCS.
