Outstanding examples of fielded industrial applications from all over the world formed the core of the two previous conferences. The main focus of PAP '95 will be on Prolog applications that have shown clear benefits for industry, commerce or education. The programme will include paper presentations, invited talks, plenary and panel sessions, tutorials and workshops. PAP '95 will show that Prolog is a highly effective tool for the development and delivery of industrial strength applications. Sponsored by the Prolog Management Group, Compulog-Net, and the Association for Logic Programming, the PAP'95 conference and exhibition will provide a forum for technical exchange between all members of the world-wide logic programming community: academics, industrialists and Prolog systems vendors. Call For Papers Papers are solicited describing fielded applications written in Prolog or other logic programming languages. Suitable application areas include but are not limited to: CAD and Manufacturing Computer-Based Training Parallel Systems Data Processing Graphics and Animation Natural language Financial Analysis Automated Documentation Simulation Planning and Scheduling Object-Oriented Systems Application Delivery User Interface Design Tools Environments and Toolkits Tools and Techniques Knowledge-Based Systems Deductive Database Systems Constraint Logic Programming Software Engineering Hybrid Systems Call for Industrial Reports Pressure of time and competing priorities mean that details of industrial applications are often never written up as formal papers. In recognition of this, it will be possible to submit a brief report on a fielded application or activity. Industrial Exhibition The exhibition provides an opportunity for software developers to demonstrate Prolog applications. You are invited to contact the organiser if you wish to exhibit at the event. Please give details of your program and appropriate hardware platforms. In addition, if you would like to organise or participate in a workshop or tutorial please contact the organiser. Sponsorship The conference is sponsored and supported by the Prolog Management Group, Compulog Net, the ALP, and national equivalents, and individual members of the PMG. The PMG is an international consortium of major companies including AI International Ltd, BIM, Boeing, Cosytec SA, Dassault, Delphia, DS Logics, ECRC, IBM, IF Computer, Integral Solutions Ltd, IQSoft, LPA, Paralogic, Prolog Development Center A/S, PrologIA, Quintus Corporation, SICS, and Siemens Nixdorf.

Full papers should be no more than 20 pages and should include a description of the nature and goals of the application, the software engineering approach and techniques used, evaluation and conclusions. There should be a discussion of field experience, including difficulties encountered, platforms on which available, and a one-page summary. Industrial reports should include a description of the nature and goals of the application or activity, and a short analysis of techniques and achievements. Industrial reports are limited to 10 pages. The first page should include the title of the paper, an abstract of no more than 200 words, followed by names of authors, full postal addresses, and e-mail addresses and fax numbers where appropriate. Prospective authors should submit FIVE copies of the paper using A4 paper. For uniformity of the final proceedings, the preferred typeface is 12pt Times. All papers should be submitted to the Conference Organiser, in hard copy form only. Important Dates Submission deadline: November 11th 1994 Notification of acceptance: 31st December 1994 Deadline for final camera-ready papers: 27th January 1995.
