SIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INDUCTIVE LOGIC PROGRAMMING (ILP'96)
  		         CALL FOR PAPERS

Below is the call for papers (Latex format) for ILP'96.  Please note
the submission deadline of 17 May, 1996.  ILP'96 will take place on
board a ship from Stockholm to Helsinki and back, 28-30 August.  It
will be held in conjunction with LOPSTR'96 (Sixth International 
Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation).

{\large\bf\center The Sixth International Workshop on\\
		Inductive Logic Programming (ILP'96) \\}
{\center 28-30 August, 1996 \\
	Stockholm, Sweden \\}

\vspace{.2in}

This workshop is the sixth in a series of international 
workshops on Inductive Logic Programing.
ILP'96 will be run in parallel with the Sixth International
Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR'96).
Papers should fit into one, or preferably more, of the following three
areas.

\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Theory.} Of particular interest are papers that either
	1) prove new results concerning algorithms 
	which use inductive learning to construct first or higher order
	logic descriptions or 2) reveal relationships
	to theoretical work done outside of ILP, especially work
	in program synthesis and transformation.
\item {\bf Implementation.} Details of implemented inductive algorithms.
	Time complexity results should be included.
\item {\bf Application.} Experimental results within one or
	more application areas 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, as are papers that explore new application
	areas for ILP.
\end{itemize}

ILP'96 and LOPSTR'96 will take place on board a ship which will sail
from Stockholm to Helsinki and back during the workshop.

\section*{Deadlines}
Submissions (hardcopy only)
must be received by the {\bf program chair} no later than
{\bf 17 May, 1996}.
Submissions should include the postal address and email address
(if available) of each author; the first author will be used as the
contact author unless otherwise specified.
Authors will be informed of acceptance by {\bf 28 June, 1996}.
Some or all of the papers accepted for presentation at ILP'96
will be selected
for inclusion in a post-workshop publication, at the discretion of
the program committee.
Notification of acceptance for the post-workshop publication also
will be made by {\bf 28 June, 1996}.
Authors also will then be notified of the deadline for camera-ready
copies, which will be no earlier than
{\bf October 15, 1996}.
