Call for Papers
                 ICLP'93  Postconference Workshop on
                          Deductive Databases

                          Budapest, Hungary
                            June 25, 1993

       Sponsored by the Association of Logic Programming

One  of  the principal aims of  research  in deductive databases is to
provide   a  declarative  programming framework for building  database
applications.  The research  is  also concerned  with  alleviating the
shortcomings of  traditional database  programming languages like  SQL
etc.   A   deductive database   system  combines traditional  database
facilities with a powerful LOGIC-BASED language for queries, reasoning
and  application development. Recent  research  in this area  has been
closely  linked to  research  in Non-monotonic reasoning, Semantics of
logic programs and Ordered logic.

The workshop is intended to  bring together researchers (theoreticians
as well as practicioners) involved in the area of  deductive databases
and deductive computing. The aim is to  provide a forum for discussing
and exchanging  ideas on various  aspects of  deductive databases such
as:
        - Object-oriented deduction (i.e. hierarchies and deduction)
        - Negation
        - Non-monotonic deduction
        - Sets (matching and unification)
        - Paraconsistency
        - Abstract data types
        - Meta programming
        - Compilation techniques (magic sets, counting etc.)
        - Abstract machines (execution architectures and computational models)
        - Query optimization techniques
        - Applications

Papers   (full  papers and extended abstracts)   are solicited on  any
aspect of deductive databases. Papers must be written in English, must
not exceed 10 pages, and should include both  an abstract and keywords
to define the   topic.  Authors are   asked to submit four  copies  to
either Els Laenens or Natraj Arni at the addresses below.

Submit papers to either:
