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.
