Workshop proposals are invited for the 1991 International Logic Programming Symposium (Formerly called "North American Conference on Logic Programming (NACLP)) to be held in San Diego, California, U.S.A., October 28--31, 1991. Workshops will be held after the conference in an informal atmosphere and participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with a selected focus. The format of workshop presentations will be determined by the organizers proposing the workshop but ample time should be allotted for general discussion. Workshops can range in length but most are intended to last a half or a full day. Proceedings of the workshops are not intended to be published, but will be made available to participants. Workshop proposals should contain: (1) A description of the workshop, identifying the particular issues it will focus on. (2) An indication as to why the workshop is topical and estimated number of attendees. (3) The names and addresses of the organizing committee. This should consist of 2 or 3 people. Proposals for workshops that bridge the gap between logic programming and neighboring fields, including artificial intelligence, logic, databases and theoretical computer science are especially welcome. Workshop proposals should be submitted no later than 22nd March and organizers will be notified by 8th April. Workshop organizers are responsible for: (1) Producing a "Call for Participation" in the workshop by 19th April. (2) Reviewing requests to participate in the workshop and scheduling workshop activities by 16th August. Please submit workshop proposals and inquiries to: Kim Marriott, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 704, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, U.S.A. Phone: (914) 784-7133 Fax: (914) 784-7455 Email: kimbal@ibm.com
