LPAR'93 is an international conference traditionally held in Russia since
1990. It aims at bringing together researchers interested in logic programming
and automated reasoning. LPAR'93 is also an excellent opportunity to 
become better acquainted with research in Russia and other countries of
the former Soviet Union.

For countries where copying may be a problem one copy will be sufficient.
Email TeX/LaTeX submissions are acceptable from the countries with 
postal problems. Proceedings will be published in the series "Lecture Notes in 
Artificial Intelligence" by Springer Verlag. (Proceedings of the 
previous conferences were published in LNAI vv.592 and 624).

There are three kinds of submissions: long papers (up to 12 pages), 
short papers (up to 6 pages), or system descriptions (up to 3 
pages). All papers must be written in English. Submissions should be 
accompanied by a one-page abstract sent either to the same address 
or (preferably) by email to voronkov@loria.fr. The abstract should include
author's name(s), affiliation, postal and email addresses.  

The program will also include a special session on system demonstrations 
(IBM PCs and SPARCstations) and several tutorials delivered by 
major researchers in the field.

IMPORTANT DATES:
	Submission:    		February 1
	Notification:  		March 20
	Final Version: 		April 20
