INAP Target Focus and Audience
------------------------------
Prolog is famous as the first very high level programming language and
for its unique potential as a specification, artificial intelligence
and general purpose programming language.

Due to the growing number and economic importance of industrial
applications of Prolog based systems there is increasing need for
information exchange catering to a sophisticated and critical audience
in order to discuss achievements, trends, needs and problems of
commercial users.

INAP is a forum to discuss results and potential of the application of
Prolog in products, production, management, services and software
engineering, together with requirements, tools, programming techniques
and standards necessary to satisfy technological and economic
constraints.

Authors are invited to submit full manuscripts or extended abstracts
in English or Japanese on applications of Prolog including but not
limited to:

- Agents
- Concurrent Engineering
- Business Processes
- Electronic Data Interchange
- Design
- Documentation
