In particular, the classes of perfect, well-founded and stable models were introduced and extensively investigated. The problem of extending these approaches with a second kind of negation, of dealing with contradiction, and of defining a suitable semantics for the class of disjunctive logic programs and deductive databases has turned out to be a difficult one, as evidenced by a large number of papers still being produced. The impressive research progress in the last years as well as significant advances in logic programming implementation techniques now provide us with a great opportunity to bring to fruition computationally efficient implementations of the recent extensions to logic programming and their applications. The resulting programming systems must not only ensure the increased expressivity and declarative transparency of the evolving paradigm of logic programming, but should also be suitable to serve as an inference engine for other non-monotonic reasoning formalisms and deductive databases, as well as a specification language for software engineering. =============== IMPORTANT DATES =============== Papers Due on: June 15, 1996 Author Notification: July 15, 1996 Final version Due on: August 10, 1996 JICSLP-Conference: Sept. 2-6, 1996 NMELP-Workshop: Sept. 5/6, 1996 ================ PAPER SUBMISSION ================ This workshop is the fifth in a series of workshops held in conjunction with Logic Programming conferences (NACLP '90, ILPS '91, ILPS '93, and ICLP '94) and will be concerned with all of the three aspects of Theory, Implementation, and Applications. Papers are welcome on all non-monotonic aspects of logic programming, including, but not limited to: Abductive Extensions New Application Domains Applications to KR Prototypes and Implementation Constructive Negation Query-Answering Procedures Disjunctive LP Semantics Epistemic Extensions Strong or Explicit Negation Inconsistency Handling Updates The Program Committee (see below for the members) will review extended abstracts rather than complete papers. They must be written in English, not exceed 15 pages, and contain a cover page including the following: a 200 word abstract with a list of keywords, postal and electronic addresses as well as phone and fax numbers of the contact author. LaTeX article-style (12pt) on 8.5'' x 11'' is appropriate (see http://www.springer.de/tex/help-tex.html for Guidelines in the LLNCS). Send ONE (1) copy of your submission by June 15, 1996 to each member of the organizing committee via e-mail (see below for the email addresses of organizing committee members). If possible, please send compressed and uuencoded *.dvi or *.ps files. Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of their papers by July 15, 1996. Final versions of the accepted papers must be received by August 10, 1996. The informal workshop proceedings will be available at the conference. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop and are required to be withdrawn from other refereed conferences or workshops. Registration for the workshop as well as fees (which include a copy of the informal proceedings) will be handled by the organizers of JICSLP'96 in a separate call. The workshop will take place at the conference site in Bonn on September 5 or 6 (exact date to be decided by the JICSLP organization). We are planning to publish a regular Proceedings volume in the Springer LNAI-series. Besides extended versions of the papers presented, participants of the workshop are allowed to submit additional papers. All submitted papers will undergo a separate review process. ===================== Organizing Committee: ===================== Juergen Dix (Germany) Luis Moniz Pereira (Portugal) Teodor Przymusinski (USA) ================== Program Committee: ================== Rachel Ben-Eliahu (Israel) Juergen Dix (Germany) Michael Gelfond (USA) Anthony Kakas (Cyprus) Victor Marek (USA) Jack Minker (USA) Luis Moniz Pereira (Portugal) Teodor Przymusinski (USA) V.

S. A. ##################################################### Web page for this CFP: http://www.tkl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/sac/cfp.html SAC '97 ======= Over the past ten years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work. SAC '97 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups SIGAda, SIGAPP, SIGBIO, SIGCUE, and SIGICE. Authors are invited to contribute original papers or abstracts for a poster session in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical sessions. Panel and workshop proposals which deal with the symposium themes are encouraged. The special tracks form the heart of the symposium. Papers and poster abstracts relating to the specific tracks should be mailed to the respective track chairs. In addition to the topics covered by the tracks listed below, papers and posters are solicited in geographic information systems, image processing, biomolecular computing, cognitive science, biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, electronic libraries, office automation and other areas of applications development. Papers or posters not relating to a specific track or spanning more than one track should be mailed to the Program Chair. Look for additional information in SIG newsletters or contact the individuals listed below. Special Track on Database Technology ==================================== A special track on Database Technology will be held in SAC '97. It will be a forum for engineers, researchers and practitioners to share technical ideas and experiences relating to implementation and application of database technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Advanced applications Distributed databases Object-oriented databases Multimedia databases Active databases Mobile databases WWW-based databases Textual databases Information discovery Cooperative databases Data Mining Data Warehouse OLAP Workflow Management DB issues on CSCW Ubiquitous Databases DB issues on Hyper Text Digital Library Video Server Video Authoring System Tertiary Storage System Disk Arrays PAPERS ====== Original papers dealing with any aspect of computing applications will be considered for presentation and publication in the SAC '97 Proceedings. This includes three categories of submissions: 1) original and unpublished research; 2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, business, government, education and industry; and, 3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains. Each category of submissions will be reviewed by peer groups appropriate to that category. Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the conference proceedings. Expanded versions of selected papers from all categories will be considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly Applied Computing Review or one of the other participating SIGs' publications. Submission guidelines must be strictly followed: * Mail six (6) copies of the paper to the appropriate Track Chair. (For electronic submission consult the appropriate track chair.) * The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper; self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review. * The body of the paper should not exceed 4000 words (about 15 pages, double- spaced). * A separate cover sheet included with the submission should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which correspondence should be sent. * All submissions must be received by AUGUST 15, 1996.
