IJCAI-93 Workshop on Inductive Logic Programming
Call for Papers
Inductive Logic Programming is mainly concerned with the inductive
synthesis of logic programs. As such, it is closely related to Machine
Learning and Logic Programming, and has evolved from these areas to a
growing field of research for both Artificial Intelligence and
Software Engineering. For Machine Learning, the problem is a natural
extension of previous methods of inductive generalization to the case
of logic-based and recursive concept descriptions. For Logic
Programming, inductive methods provide the user with a tool for
programming not only with clauses, but also with examples and general
constraints. The workshop intends to address both aspects of ILP, and
provide a common ground for discussion and for the presentation of
algorithms and results. Attendance will be limited to 50
participants, on the basis of submitted papers and participation
requests sent to any of the program chairs. Participants will be
required to have registered at IJCAI.

INTERNATIONAL COURSE
"DATA BANKS AND COMPUTER SUPPORT OF THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT"
Moscow, September 13-17, 1993
Organizers: A.Mirzabekov (Engelhardt Institute of Molecular
Biology, Moscow), P.Pearson (GDB, Baltimore),
L.Philipson (EMBL, Heidelberg)
The International lecture course "Data banks and computer
support of the human genome project" under HUGO-UNESCO
sponsorship is aimed at disseminating information on the existing
data banks in the fields of molecular biology and genome studies.
Special attention will be given to the problem of integration of
scientists from Eastern Europe and developing countries into the
international information networks. The attendants will discuss
the structure of existing databanks, applied program packages, as
well as general principles of retrieval and use of biological
information. Special emphasis will be put on the nucleotide
sequence databases, human genes databases, physical mapping of
human chromosomes, medical-genetic and protein data banks.
Detailed information will be also given on the databases and
software available in Russia. The necessary facilities, both
hardware and software corresponding to the world standards, will
be provided by the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology and
the Russian National Human Genome Project.
The tentative list of speakers includes: P.Pearson
(Baltimore), K.Fasman (Baltimore), E.Branscomb (Livermore),
G.Cameron (Heidelberg), S.Pongor (Trieste), R.Landgridge (San
Francisco), Thomas Marr (Cold Spring Harbor), D.Brutlag (Stanford),
E.Uberbacher (Oak Ridge), A.Mironov (Moscow), Y.Lysov (Moscow),
V.Tumanyan (Moscow). A.Alexandrov (Moscow), V.Kulichkov (Novosibirsk),
N.Kolchanov (Novosibirsk).
The Course is open to qualified scientists from all countries.
Registration fee (including accomodation, meals, etc.) is US $500.
Travel expences to Moscow and back should be covered by applicants
themselves.
The deadline for applications is April 1, 1993.
Applications should be sent to
