------------------------------

Prolog is famous as the first very high level programming language and for its
unique potential as a specification, artificial intelligence and general purpose
programming language. 

Due to the growing number and economic importance of industrial applications of
Prolog based systems there is increasing need for information exchange catering to a
sophisticated and critical audience in order to discuss achievements, trends, needs and
problems of commercial users. 

INAP is a forum to discuss results and potential of the application of Prolog in
products, production, management, services and software engineering, together with
requirements, tools, programming techniques and standards necessary to satisfy
technological and economic constraints. 

Authors are invited to submit full manuscripts or extended abstracts in English or
Japanese on applications of Prolog including but not limited to: 

         - Agents                - Concurrent Engineering
         - Business Processes    - Electronic Data Interchange
         - Design                - Documentation
         - Emotion Engineering   - Optimization
         - Quality Control       - Multimedia
