                 Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis 
                        and Transformation
                  (Now with published proceedings!)

                          4-5 July 1991

                   Second Call for Participation
                   -----------------------------

The Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 91), 
sponsored by ALP UK, the UK branch of the Association for Logic Programming, 
will be held on 4-5 July 1991 at Dalton-Ellis Hall, University of Manchester, 
U.K.  

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers active in
the area of logic program synthesis and transformation.  This is to be 
interpreted broadly: we do not restrict logic to Horn clause or first 
order logic, and by synthesis we mean any method of program construction; 
nor do we limit ourselves to particular approaches to program transformation.

There will be no formal submission of papers, etc., but we encourage 
participants to give talks (of 20-30 minutes duration) on work in progress. 
We also expect the workshop to be run in an informal manner, with close 
interaction between participants. To this end, we have limited attendance to 
50 places.

Following discussion with Springer-Verlag, we intend to publish  
the proceedings of LOPSTR 91 in their Workshops in Computing series if 
enough speakers are prepared to submit paper versions of their talks.
 
The Workshops in Computing series requires intending authors to submit an 
extended abstract before the workshop, followed by the full paper soon after 
the workshop. The idea is that the author should use the input from the 
workshop to produce the final version of the paper. Papers will be subject 
to editorial review. 

For LOPSTR91, if you are giving a talk, and you wish your contribution 
to be included in the proceedings, please send an extended abstract by 
 31 May 1991.

A secondary aim of the workshop is to bring people together to plan an 
international workshop on the same topic in July 1992, with invited speakers, 
refereed papers, and published proceedings. We have offered to host it at  
Manchester again, and  sponsorship has been offered jointly by ALP UK and ALP.

For LOPSTR 91 the registration fee includes accommodation at the Hall on 3 and
4 July, and breakfast, lunch and evening meal on  4 and 5 July. Evening meal 
on 3 July and bed and breakfast for the night of 5 July are optional extras.
