Workshop on LOGIC PROGRAMMING and NON-MONOTONIC REASONING --------------------------------------------- Austin, Texas Nov. 1 (afternoon) and Nov. 2, 1990 A workshop on Logic Programming and Non-Monotonic Reasoning will be held in conjunction with the 1990 North American Conference on Logic Programming. The workshop is co-sponsored and additional funding for the workshop is being provided by the Mathematic Science Institute, Cornell University. OBJECTIVE: The main aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers interested in the relationship between logic programming (theory and practice) and non-monotonic reasoning to interact fruitfully. We are interested in seeing experts in both these areas come under one roof and discuss matters of common interest. A (non-exclusive) list of topics of interest follows: stable semantics probabilistic non-monotonic theories default logic inheritance networks auto-epistemic logic logics of belief truth maintenance systems applications implementation issues meta-programming and non-monotonicity SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS: Potential authors should submit four copies of an extended abstract (maximum length: 8 pages, double-spaced) by August 21, 1990 to: V.S. Subrahmanian Department of Computer Science A.V. Williams Building University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742, USA. vs@cs.umd.edu , (301) 454-1862 Authors should indicate e-mail addresses on their manuscript. Authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection by Sep. 15, 1990. PARTICIPATION: In order to increase the degree of interaction amongst workshop participants, we plan to limit attendance to 40. If you wish to participate, please send e-mail to: marek@ms.uky.edu. A nominal fee may be required of participants in order to cover the cost of organization. PROGRAM Co-CHAIRS: W.
