************************************************************
* FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTERS AND LEARNING*
************************************************************
The objective of the 4th International Conference on Computers and
Learning is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and presentation
of developments in the theory and practice of the use of computers in
learning. The previous three conferences were held in Hagen (Germany 1990),
Dallas (USA 1989) and Calgary (Canada 1987). The 1990 conference
attracted over 300 participants. The high quality papers presented at
past conferences have been published in the series "Lecture Notes
in Computer Science" by Springer Verlag. This will also be the case
with ICCAL '92.
Submission of papers: to the Conference Chair before October 4, 1991
in manuscript form. Notification to authors: December 20, 1991.
Accepted papers must be received in camera-ready form by February 15,1992.
Conference Chair:
Dr. Ivan Tomek

"Acadia University offers a unique venue for ICCAL '92, located as it is
in the heart of an attractive tourist and agricultural area known as the
Annapolis Valley. Being little over 150 years of age, Acadia University
is one of the oldest in Canada, and its campus has been described as one
of the most beautiful... Wolfville... is about 100 km from Halifax on the
shore of the Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy. The town has a small but
colourful business district with a number of hotels, restaurants, shops
and other services within easy walking distance of the University."

Below please find information about the second Bar-Ilan Symposium on the
Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (BISFAI-91), to be held in Israel
on June 16-19, 1991. The Symposium is international in scope, with
invited lectures by leading researchers and contributed papers on
foundations of AI. A special track on Theoretical Issues in Natural
Language Processing will be held on the opening day (an attempt was
made to to avoid conflicts with the ACL meeting in California).
The information below pertains to the NLP Track only. You may contact
Mori Rimon at rimon@cs.huji.ac.il for more information. If you are
interested in the full program of the symposium, and/or if you want to
find more about organizational issues, please contact Ariel Frank at
ariel@cs.bimacs.biu.ac.il
