FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYMBOLIC and LOGICAL COMPUTING

DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY
MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA
APRIL 18 - 19, 1991

ICEBOL5, the fifth International Conference on Symbolic and Logical
Computing, is designed for teachers, scholars, and programmers who want
to meet to exchange ideas about non-numeric computing. In addition to a
focus on SNOBOL4, SPITBOL, and Icon, ICEBOL5 will feature presentations
on processing strings of characters in a variety of programming
languages such as Prolog and C. Topics of discussion will include
artificial intelligence and expert systems, and a wide range of analyses
of texts in English and other natural languages. Parallel tracks of
concurrent sessions are planned.

ICEBOL's coffee breaks, social hours, lunches, and banquet will provide a
series of opportunities for participants to meet and informally exchange
information.


CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstracts (minimum of 250 words) or full texts of papers to be read at
ICEBOL5 are invited on any application of non-numeric programming.
Planned sessions include the following:

artificial intelligence and expert systems
computational linguistics
analysis of literary works (including bibliography, concordance, and index
generation)
linguistic and lexical analysis (including parsing and machine translation)
preparation of text for electronic publishing
computer assisted instruction
grammar and style checkers
music analysis


Papers should be in English and must not exceed twenty minutes reading
time. Abstracts should be received by January 15, 1991. Notification of
acceptance will follow promptly. Selected papers will be published in
ICEBOL5 Proceedings.

Presentations at previous ICEBOL conferences were made by Paul Abrahams
(ACM President), Gene Amdahl (Andor Systems), Robert Dewar (New York
University), Mark Emmer (Catspaw, Inc.), James Gimpel (Lehigh), Ralph
Griswold (Arizona), Susan Hockey (Oxford), and many others. Copies of
the proceedings from ICEBOL3 and ICEBOL4 are available.

ICEBOL5 is sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts, Dakota State
University, Madison, South Dakota.
