			Call for Papers
		     Post-ILPS'94 Workshop
     Design and Implementation of Parallel Logic Programming Systems
		 Sheraton Inn, Ithaca, NY, U.S.A.
		     November 17 or 18, 1994

The last few years have seen progressively increasing availability of powerful
multiprocessor computers in almost every academic and commercial computing
environment.
This trend is making parallel programming languages one of the most valuable
areas of research in computer science. In particular, Parallel Logic Programming
seems to offer one of the best alternatives, coupling a very high level of
abstraction, guaranteed by its declarative nature, to an extreme flexibility in
the design of the operational semantics.


			Topics of Interest
			------------------

The main purpose of this Post-conference workshop is to bring together
researchers in the field of parallel logic programming, in order to exchange
experiences and ideas and discuss the main open problems.

The discussion will be focused on both design and implementation of
parallel logic programming systems. Topics include (but are not restricted to)
the following:

- implicit exploitation of And-, Or-, and Stream-Parallelism;
- abstract interpretation for parallel systems and other compile time
 					       analysis techniques;
- the Andorra Principle and its applications;
- visualization tools for parallel systems.
- Data Parallel Logic Programming;
- Concurrent Logic Programming;
- Process-based Parallel Logic Programming;
- Practical Experiences and Applications of Parallel Logic Programming.


			Workshop Format
			---------------

The workshop is held in conjunction with the 1994 International Logic Programming
Symposium (ILPS'94), which will be held from November 13 to November 17, 1994.
The worshop will be organized in three sessions:

1) an initial session devoted to presentations;
2) a session devoted to system demonstrations and/or description of
   results obtained on existing implementations;
3) a panel session dedicated to evaluating state-of-the-art and
   identifying future directions of research in parallel logic programming.

The workshop will also feature one or two invited talks.


			Paper Submissions
			-----------------

Papers must not exceed 10 pages (approximately 4000 words), and the title page
should include each author's name, address, telephone number and electronic mailing
address. We invite people interested in giving system demonstration to submit a
short description of the system and the results obtained.
We encourage authors to submit papers electronically, preferably in Latex format. A Latex
suggested style file is available via anonymous ftp at pub.cs.nmsu.edu, directory
pub/ilps94/.
At least one of the authors for each accepted papers is expected to attend the
workshop and present the work.
The collection of accepted papers will be available at the workshop.
People interested in attending this workshop are encouraged
to submit a note of interest by electronic mail to the workshop organizers.


			Important dates

Deadline for submission:       October 10, 1994
Notification of acceptance:    October 22, 1994
Camera-ready papers due:       November 5, 1994

workshop is to bring together researchers in
the field of parallel logic programming, in order to exchange experiences
