ANNOUNCEMENT
INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON
LOGIC PROGRAMMING PERSPECTIVES IN HOT RESEARCH AREAS
Acquafredda di Maratea (Basilicata, Italy) September 7-12,
1998
The aim of the school is to provide a high level overview of recent
research lines in
some of the most important open research areas where Logic Programming
(LP)
techniques have been used, or might be useful.
In particular the courses will be focused on the areas of
Federated/Mediated
Databases, Intelligent Agents, Model Checking and Software
Engineering.
The school is addressed to young researchers and PhD students, as well
as to
university and industry researchers. The main goal is to give the
participants an
insight of the applicability and relevance of LP techniques, given the
state of the art
and the main directions of research in other interesting areas.
Participants are expected to have good knowledge of the fundamentals of
Logic
Programming.
The school will take place in the beautiful surroundings of Maratea, on
the Coast of
Acquafredda, in the Italian region of Basilicata.
Four courses will be offered of about 6 hours each, with ample time for
discussion.
PhD students may ask to have a proficiency final exam at the end of the
school (on
Friday/Saturday, September 11/12).
