FroCoS'2000: Call for Participation





INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON FRONTIERS OF COMBINING SYSTEMS (FroCoS'2000)
  March 22 - 24, 2000, Nancy, France

  CALL FOR PARTICIPATION including PROGRAM and REGISTRATION FORM
  ****************************************************************

  http://www.loria.fr/conferences/frocos2000/

  The two previous international workshops on ``Frontiers of Combining
  Systems'' were held in Munich (1996) and in Amsterdam (1998). 
  Like its predecessors, FroCoS'2000 is intended to offer a common
  forum for research activities in the general area of combination and 
  integration of systems, and on their practical use. 

* Topics. The topics of interest are related to the general area
  of combination and integration of systems, including:
  Combination of logics, Combination of constraint solving techniques 
  (resp. decision procedures, term rewriting systems), Combination of
  deduction systems and computer algebra, Integration of decision
  procedures (resp. solving processes) into constraint programming and
  deduction systems, Modelisation of hybrid systems, Logic modelling
  of multi-agent systems. 

* Proceedings. Presented papers will appear in the proceedings of the
  conference, published as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Artificial
  Intelligence (LNCS) series, Springer-Verlag. Proceedings will be
  available at the time of the conference. 

* Program co-chairs. H. Kirchner, C. Ringeissen (e-mail: frocos@loria.fr).
* Program committee. F. Baader, D. Basin, F. Benhamou, T. Fruehwirth,
  F. Giunchiglia, B. Gramlich, H. Kirchner, C. Kreitz, T. Mossakowski,
  J. Pfalzgraf, M. de Rijke, C. Ringeissen, T. Scott, M. Wallace.
