                 ICLP'93 Postconference Workshop on
                 Blackboard-based Logic Programming

                          Budapest, Hungary
                            June 24, 1993

       Sponsored by the Association of Logic Programming

Experience with existing logic programming  languages has revealed the
need for access to global data in a structured  way.  Blackboards have
recently entered logic programming as a promising answer to this need.
Besides the advantages of global storage, blackboards are successfully
used    for   communication    in   new   parallel  languages    (e.g.
Linda-D-Prolog, Shared Prolog,...). They have also turned out to be an
elegant tool  for integrating  independently developed Prolog programs
as well  as  programs   written in vastly  different styles,   such as
functional, object-oriented and logic programming styles.

The workshop is  intended to bring  together researchers interested in
all aspects  of blackboard-based logic programming, including  but not
limited to the following topics:

        - Language design (both concurrent and sequential)
        - Theory and foundations
        - Implementations and architectures
        - Compilation techniques
        - Global and persistent objects in logic programming
        - Multi-paradigm blackboard programming
        - Applications and programming methodologies.

Authors interested in presenting  their work are  invited to  send, by
e-mail or by regular mail, a 3-5 page abstract  or, preferably, a full
paper before April   1st.  The  submissions  will  be reviewed by  the
workshop organizers and based on this review, they will be included in
informal  proceedings to be  distributed to the attendees. A selection
of   these     papers    will    be  presented  at      the  workshop.
Acceptance/rejection will be notified by May 1st.

People interested in attending the workshop are welcome  too. They are
kindly  requested to send their   postal and (if available) electronic
address as soon as possible.
