                           ICEBOL3

April 21-22, 1988                      Dakota State College
                                        Madison, SD 57042

     ICEBOL3, the International Conference on Symbolic and
Logical Computing, is designed for teachers, scholars, and
programmers who want to meet to exchange ideas about
non-numeric computing.  In addition to a focus on SNOBOL,
SPITBOL, and Icon, ICEBOL3 will feature introductory and
technical presentations on other dangerously powerful
computer languages such as Prolog and LISP, as well as on
applications of BASIC, Pascal, and FORTRAN for processing
strings of characters.  Topics of discussion will include
artificial intelligence, expert systems, desk-top
publishing, and a wide range of analyses of texts in English
and other natural languages.  Parallel tracks of concurrent
sessions are planned: some for experienced computer users
and others for interested novices.  Both mainframe and
microcomputer applications will be discussed.

     ICEBOL's coffee breaks, social hours, lunches, and
banquet will provide a series of opportunities for
participants to meet and informally exchange information.
Sessions will be scheduled for "birds of a feather" to
discuss common interests (for example, BASIC users group,
implementations of SNOBOL, computer generated poetry).


Call For Papers

     Abstracts (minimum of 250 words) or full texts of
papers to be read at ICEBOL3 are invited on any application
of non-numeric programming.  Planned sessions include the
following:
   artificial intelligence
   expert systems
   natural language processing
   analysis of literary texts (including bibliography,
      concordance, and index preparation)
   linguistic and lexical analysis (including parsing and
      machine translation)
   preparation of text for electronic publishing
   computer assisted instruction
   grammar and style checkers
   music analysis.

     Papers must be in English and should not exceed twenty
minutes reading time.  Abstracts and papers should be
received by January 15, 1988.  Notification of acceptance
will follow promptly.  Papers will be published in ICEBOL3
Proceedings.

     Presentations at previous ICEBOL conferences were made
by Susan Hockey (Oxford), Ralph Griswold (Arizona), James
Gimpel (Lehigh), Mark Emmer (Catspaw, Inc.), Robert Dewar
(New York University), and many others.  Copies of ICEBOL 86
Proceedings are available.
