         --- First Announcement and Call for Participation ---

                  The Second International Workshop on
                      Inductive Logic Programming
                                (ILP92)
                             June 6-7, 1992
                           ICOT, Tokyo, Japan

                          in conjunction with
                      International Conference on
                 Fifth Generation Computer Systems 1992
                             June 1-5, 1992


This workshop is the second in a series of International Workshops on
Inductive Logic Programing.  The workshop will bring together an
international group of researchers in the field.  Inductive Logic
Programming is an emerging research area, spawned by Machine Learning
and Logic Programming.  While the influence of Logic Programming has
encouraged the development of strong theoretical foundations, this new
area is inheriting its experimental orientation from Machine Learning.

To restrict the workshop to a manageable size, participation is on an
invitational basis.  However, invitations could be extended slightly if
the demand exists. (Please contact the Program Chair.)  Participants are
welcome either to present new results or simply to take part in the
discussions. Papers are encouraged in, though not restricted to, the
following areas.

[Theory.] Papers should either (1) prove new results concerning programs
     which use inductive learning to construct first or higher order
     logic descriptions or (2) discuss the relationship of Inductive
     Logic Programming to other theoretical areas such as Non-Monotonic
     Logic or Abductive Reasoning.  Learnability results and theoretical
     investigations of predicate invention are especially welcome.

[Implementation.] Details of inductive algorithms.  Time complexity
     results should be included.

[Experimentation.] Experimental results should be tabulated with
     appropriate statistics.  Sufficient details should be included to
     allow reproduction of results.  Comparative studies of different
     algorithms running on the same examples, using the same background
     knowledge, are especially welcome.

The workshop will immediately follow the International Conference on
Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS92) which will be held in Tokyo
(Tokyo Prince Hotel), June 1-5, 1992.  Attendees are thus encouraged
to take part in both ILP92 and the larger FGCS92 conference (contact:
fgcs92@icot.or.jp, fax:+81-3-3456-1618).  Participants must find their
own funds for travel.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Printed papers to be included in the proceedings of the workshop must be
received by the program chair no later than February 16, 1992.  To
ensure that papers in the proceedings are readable, only hard-copy
papers will be accepted, not papers sent by email or fax.  Papers
received after the deadline will not be included in the proceedings.
