		     CALL FOR SHORT PRESENTATIONS

The LICS Symposium is an annual international forum on theoretical and
practical topics in computer science that relate to logic in a broad
sense.

LICS 2001 will have a session of short (5 - 10 minutes) presentations.
This session is intended for descriptions of work in progress, student
projects, and relevant research being published elsewhere; other brief
communications may be acceptable. Submissions for these presentations,
in the form of short abstracts (1 or 2 pages long, in English), should
be entered at the LICS submission site http://lics.cs.bell-labs.com/
between March 20 and March 31, 2001. Authors will be notified of
acceptance or rejection by May 1, 2001.

Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions
include: abstract data types, automata theory, automated deduction,
bounded arithmetic, categorical models and logics, coinductive
techniques, concurrency and distributed computation, constraint
programming, constructive mathematics, database theory, domain theory,
finite model theory, formal aspects of program analysis, formal
methods, game semantics, hybrid systems, logics of knowledge, lambda
and combinatory calculi, linear logic, logical aspects of
computational complexity, logics in artificial intelligence, logics of
programs, logic programming, modal and temporal logics, model
checking, reasoning about security, rewriting, semantics,
specifications, type systems and type theory, universal algebra, and
verification.

The symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on
Mathematical Foundations of Computing in cooperation with the
Association for Symbolic Logic, and the European Association for
Theoretical Computer Science.
