  Oz is a concurrent programming language providing for functional,
object-oriented, and constraint programming. Its novel features bear a
high potential of new solutions to problems requiring complex symbolic
computation, such as natural language processing, spoken language
processing, multi-agent systems, and constraint satisfaction problems.
  Being developed at DFKI, Saarbr"ucken, the language Oz is currently
being used in several research institutions. This workshop is intended 
to provide the researchers involved or interested in the language Oz an
opportunity to discuss the following questions:
 o  What are the current and envisioned applications of Oz?
 o  What benefits/problems arise using Oz compared to other languages? 
 o  How can the program development be facilitated?
 o  What are the future research directions in developing Oz?
  A one-day tutorial on programming in Oz covers the following areas:
 o  Functional programming in Oz, concurrency and logic variables;
 o  Object-oriented programming in Oz with an emphasis on applications
    in the area of multi-agent systems;
 o  Window programming in Oz using Tcl/Tk and real-time applications;
 o  Finite-domain programming and search.
  *Submissions* This workshop will have two tracks of presentations.
Long presentations follow a standard format, accompanied by 10-page
papers in the proceedings. Brief presentations are accompanied by a
short (max. 2-page) abstract in the proceedings. Your submission should
be a max 2-page extended abstract, by e-mail (plain ASCII, LaTeX, or
Postscript) to woz95@idiap.ch; see the full version for more details.
  *Dates:* subm: Jul. 15, '95; notif: Sep. 1, '95; final: Oct. 15, '95.
