This conference is intended to be a forum for : discussion : of related theoretical questions. : : Topics : : The intended coverage of the conference includes: Semantics of Procedural : and Declarative Programming Languages, Logic in Computer Science, : Categorical and Topological aspects of Computer Science, Computer : Algebra Systems in Mathematics, Number Theory in Computer Science. : Especially welcome are papers which broadly relate to the interests of the : main speakers and which therefore fall into one or other of two main themes: : (i) Mathematical Foundations of Computational Logic and Artificial : Intelligence, : and Categorical, Domain-Theoretic and Topological Methods in Computer Science, : (ii) Computer Algebra Systems in Mathematics. : : Invited Speakers : : Confirmed main speakers are : Abbas Edalat (Imperial College) : Dick Hamlet (University of Portland, Oregon) : Giorgio Levi (University of Pisa) : Dana Scott (Carnegie Mellon University) : : Steering Committee : : James Bowen (NUI, Cork), Ted Hurley (NUI, Galway), Micheal MacanAirchinnigh : (Trinity College, Dublin), Michel Schellekens (NUI, Cork), Anthony K. : Seda (NUI, Cork) : : Programme Co-Chairs : : Ted Hurley (NUI, Galway) and Anthony K. Seda (NUI, Cork) : : Publication of Proceedings : : Papers will be refereed, and it is expected that the Conference proceedings : (or a selection thereof) will appear as a volume in ENTCS, Elsevier's series : "Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science". : : Sponsorship : : The Conference is being sponsored by : The Arts Faculty, NUI, Cork : The Department of Computer Science, NUI, Cork : The Department of Mathematics, NUI, Galway : The School of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, NUI, Cork : Enterprise Ireland : Logic Programming Associates, London : The National Software Directorate, Dublin : : Important Dates : : Abstract submission: abstracts of one page in length should be submitted : electronically to aks@ucc.ie by 1st May, 2000; talks will be of 30 : minutes : duration including 5 minutes for questions. : Conference dates: 20th and 21st July, 2000. : Full paper submissions: papers of not more than 18 pages in length should : be submitted electronically by 15th August, 2000 to aks@ucc.ie in : LaTeX, Postscript or PDF format. Papers must be original and not submitted : for publication elsewhere, although survey papers of sufficiently high : quality may be considered. : Notification of acceptance: authors will be notified of the refereeing : decision by 31st October, 2000. : Final versions of papers: authors should return final versions of papers : by 30th November, 2000. : : For authors who are unable to submit electronically, five paper copies : should be mailed to: : Anthony K. Seda, : Department of Mathematics, : National : University of Ireland - Cork, : Cork, : Ireland : so as to arrive on or before the submission deadline. : : Conference website : : http://maths.ucc.ie/~seda/uccconf.html : : Queries : : Please address all queries to aks@ucc.ie : : A.K.
