INTRODUCTION

The International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science
Society	 is  an	 annual	 event,	 held  in Santiago de Chile.
Since its beginnings, in 1981, it has become one of the most
important international events of its kind.

The Latin American Conference on  Informatics  (Panel  EXPO-
DATA)  is  the	main activity of CLEI (Latin American Center
for Studies on Informatics).  Born in Valpariso,  Chile,  it
is held each year in a different Latin American country.  In
1989, it comes back to Chile, and it is	 held  jointly	with
the SCCC Conference.

These events seek to encourage the interchange of  knowledge
and  experience among academics and professionals working in
Computer Science.

This year, the conference received  more  than	100  papers,
from 17 countries from North and South America, Europe, Asia
and Oceania.  Among them,  the	program	 committee  selected
those  that  will be presented in the Technical Presentation
category, and also in that of Short Communications.

Besides	 refereed  papers,  the	 conference  includes	five
tutorials  and	four invited talks, delivered by the program
committee members and other invited speakers.

CONFERENCE LOCATION

The conference is held at the Hotel Crowne Plaza, located at
Alameda	 136.	The  registration, the opening ceremony, and
some of the sessions, will be held at the main	building  of
the Universidad Catolica, located at Alameda 340.

REGISTRATION

The conference registration is $48,000 (Chilean), or US$192.
The  members  of  the  Chilean Computer Science Society, the
members	 of  institutions  affiliated  with  CLEI,  and	 the
authors	 have a 50% discount.  In the case of members of the
SCCC, this includes the 1989 annual dues.

Attendees that pay their registrations before June  30	will
have  an  8% discount.	Copies of the proceedings and badges
can be picked up on Monday, July 10, from 8:30 to  9:30,  at
the  Universidad  Catolica (Alameda 340).  Attendees wishing
to register then can do so at that location.

TRANSPORTATION

The conference's official airline, Lan Chile, offers  groups
rates  to  the attendees.  Contact the official travel agent
(TURAVION), or the nearest Lan Chile office.

ACCOMMODATION

Blocks of rooms have been reserved at the  hotel  where	 the
conference  will  be  held, and also at other nearby hotels.
There are heavily discounted rates for rooms  booked  before

WEATHER

Temperatures during the month of July in Santiago range from
0  to 18 degrees Celsius, with occasional rain.	 This is the
height of the ski season at the nearby resorts	of  Portillo
and Farellones.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE

The Chilean  currency  is  the	peso  ($),  with  a  current
exchange  rate	of  $255  per  US  dollar.   US	 dollars are
