DIALOGUE'96
International Conference on computational linguistics and its applications
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to inform you about DIALOGUE'96, an international
conference on computational linguistics and its applications, which
will take place in the beginning of May, 1996 in a country side near
Moscow, Russia. The conference revived the tradition of the
interdisciplinary DIALOGUE seminars which were regular national
annual events in the USSR during 70s-80s. The conference title means
that it is a meeting place for a dialogue
a) between researches from different fields that are related to
computational linguistics (lignuists, computer scientists, cognitive
scientists, psychologists);
b) between researches from the former USSR and from international
community in computational linguistics.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* theoretical and cognitive linguistics
* syntax, semantics, pragmatics and their interaction
* multilingual natural language processing
* systems natural language processing
* text, dialogue and speech act in the computational framework
* speech communication with computer
The number of participants is expected about 100. Every prospective
attendee is required to submit a short research summary including
relevant recent publications, regular and e-mail address, fax and
phone numbers.
Participants who wish to present their work are additionally required
to submit a poster (3-4 double-spaced pages, 6-8 kB) or a full paper
(not exceeding 12 double-spaced pages, 24 kB). Please send
submissions preferably via e-mail (in plain ASCII or uuencoded
Winword files) to the address of the Program Committee before January
15, 1996. Submissions in Russian and English are equally accepted.
We plan to organize selected English-to-Russian and
Russian-to-English translation of talks.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Deadline for submission: January 15, 1996
Notification of acceptance: February 15, 1996
Final paper due: March 25, 1996
The proceedings of the conference will be printed and publicly distributed.
The last conference DIALOGUE'95 has been held nearby Kazan
(Tatarstan, Russian Federation) in May-June 1995. It was very
successful and attracted the leading researchers from the former USSR
as well as researchers from Europe and USA. We hope that DIALOGUE'96
will continue this tradition.

ILPS'95 PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
==========================
International Logic Programming Symposium
Preliminary Program & Registration Information
December 4--7 1995, Portland Oregon
http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/ilps95
The 1995 International Logic Programming Symposium, ILPS'95, will take
place in Portland Oregon on December 4--7 1995. The symposium, one of
two major conferences sponsored annually by Association for Logic
Programming, will be accompanied by a series of workshops, in effect
mini-conferences, to be held on December 7--8. It is especially
appropriate that ILPS'95 meets in Oregon because of the continuing
research in this and related areas conducted at Portland State
University (PSU), the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI), and Oregon
State University (OSU), all within an hour's-drive of the conference
site.
The theme for ILPS'95 will be ``Declarative Systems,'' particularly
the integration of the logic programming, functional programming, and
object-oriented programming paradigms. Researchers in other
communities doing interdisciplinary research involving logic
programming and functional and/or object-oriented programming are
especially welcomed, and our program of invited talks, panel,
tutorials and workshops reflect this.
The technical program was selected by an international program
committee chaired by John Lloyd. The proceedings will be published in
the MIT Press Logic Programming series. Continuing what we hope will
become an ILPS tradition, the Second Annual Prolog Programming Contest
will be held at PSU, during the symposium, organized by Bart Demoen.
The conference venue, Portland, is noted for the ``Silicon
Rainforest'' in neighboring Beaverton, micro-breweries, Powell's Books
(the world's largest used-book store), a plethora of Starbucks and
Coffee People cafes, Nike Town, the so-called Northwest Sound (grunge
rock), and superb skiing on nearby Mt. Hood. The conference hotel is
the Portland Marriott, overlooking the Willamette River in the heart of
downtown, 20 minutes from Portland International Airport. In addition
to the superb technical program, the conference will include a banquet
dinner at Atwater's Restaurant atop the Bancorp Tower.

Visions for the Future of Logic Programming
Laying the Foundations for a Modern Successor to Prolog
This workshop poses the question Is it time to start serious work
on a standardized, "modern" successor to Prolog? Its goal is
to foster cooperative interaction among logic programming researchers
with the intent to identify those areas of potential agreement and
substantial disagreement on the shape of a successor to Prolog.

Workshop 2 (W2), half day, Thursday, 7 December
Interval Constraints
In 1987, J. Cleary suggested that a relational form of interval
arithmetic could be integrated into a logic programming language
similar to Prolog. This workshop explores the synergism between
Interval Constraints and the areas of constraint logic programming,
interval analysis and constraint satisfaction.

2ND ANNUAL PROLOG PROGRAMMING CONTEST
The second fun-filled Prolog programming competition will be held on
Monday, December 4, from 6--8 pm, at Portland State University. Up to
ten teams of up to three persons will attempt to solve a number of
problems within the two hour contest. Their solutions will be rated
as good or bad, according to whether they produce correct results on a
set of tests, how fast the program was created, and fast the program
runs.
ALL PARTICIPANTS (TEAMS & SPECTATORS) MUST
REGISTER FOR THE CONTEST BY 10 AM
MONDAY MORNING AT THE ILPS'95 REGISTRATION DESK
A complete set of contest rules will be made available at the contest
site. Most importantly, no materials other than SICStus Prolog
Manuals (bring your own!) are allowed, and no communication outside
of team members is permitted. A workstation and SISCtus system will
be provided for each team.
The contest site is room 120, 528 Mill Street (on the corner of 6th
and Mill). This is within easy walking distance of the conference
site and you will be guided there: we will gather at 5:30pm SHARP at
the reception desk. The Mill Street building is locked after 6pm, so
it is IMPERATIVE to arrive on time.
The winning team will be announced at the ILPS'95 banquet. Each
member of the winning team will receive a book donated by MIT press.
The first Prolog programming competition was held at ILPS'94 in Ithaca
and quite a success; you can preregister for the contest by e-mail to
Bart.Demoen@cs.kuleuven.ac.be . Admission is on a first come first
served basis! Individuals without teams should send us your names: we
will create teams for you. As a warm up, you can try the problems of
last year (ftp anonymously from ftp.cs.kuleuven.ac.be from directory
/pub/private/bimbart, file ilps94competition.ps)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
SOCIAL EVENTS
Welcome Reception: This wine and cheese reception will be held Sunday
evening, December 3 at 8:00 pm at the Marriott Hotel. This will be an
opportunity for those arriving on the weekend to informally greet each
other and enjoy some fine Oregon wines and assorted cheeses.
Banquet: On Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm the conference banquet will be
held at Atwater's Restaurant on the 41st floor of the U.S. Bancorp
Tower, 111 S.W. Fifth Avenue. The banquet will be a wonderful buffet
feast, and the view encompasses all of Portland.
Basketball: There will hopefully be 25 tickets available for the
Portland-Toronto pro NBA basketball game on Thursday evening at 7:00
pm. These tickets are $25 each and in a group at the new Rose Garden,
supposedly among the finest sports arenas in the U.S. The Rose Garden
is five minutes from the Marriott by public transportation (right
across the river). Please send email to tick@cs.uoregon.edu to
reserve 1--2 tickets per person (on a first-come, first served basis:
pay me at the conference).
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TRANSPORTATION FROM AIRPORT TO CITY
Portland International Airport (PDX) is located 20 minutes by taxi or
taxi or shuttle bus from the Marriott Hotel in downtown Portland.
Shuttle buses to most downtown hotels run every 30 minutes, costing
$7.50 one-way. Rental cars are available at the airport, from several
vendors. Within Portland, the Marriott is centrally located so that a
car is not strictly necessary. However, to travel to areas outside
downtown, such as Beaverton, OGI, OSU, or various ski resorts, a
rental car is critical.
HOTEL INFORMATION
ILPS'95 will be held at the Marriott Hotel, 1401 S.W. Front St.,
Portland Oregon. The ILPS'95 participant rate is $70/night/room
(unlimited occupancy). This is a very good deal! The Marriott has
hosted numerous international academic conferences and offers nice
accomodations, spacious facilities and a superior location. The hotel
is a short walk or taxi ride from riverside restaurants, Pioneer
Square (shopping!), Chinatown, and PSU. In addition, the hotel
features an indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, and various restaurants.
CONFERENCE REGISTRATION
The conference fee for early registration (before November 7) for
members of the ALP or its affiliates will be US$375. The fee for
early registration for non-members will be US$400. After November 7
late registration will cost members US$400, and non-members US$425.
