			 NACLP '90  WORKSHOP 

				on

                 PARALLEL EXECUTION OF LOGIC PROGRAMS

                           November 2, 1990
		     Hyatt Regency, Austin, Texas

This workshop is devoted to current issues and new directions in
parallel execution of logic programs, and will be held immediately 
following the North American Conference on Logic Programming (NACLP),
Oct 28--Nov 1.  The workshop will feature 16 presentations.

Attendance at the workshop is open to all NACLP '90 registrants, but,
due to space limitations and the need to provide better interaction,
the number will be limited to 50.  If you wish to attend, inform the 
workshop organizer at the address given below of your intention to attend.
