INAP Target Focus and Audience
==============================
Prolog is famous as the first very high level programming language and for
its unique potential as a specification, artificial intelligence and
general purpose programming language.

Due to the growing number and economic importance of industrial applications
of Prolog based systems there is increasing need for specialized information
exchange catering to a discerning and critical audience in order to
discuss achievements, trends, needs and problems of commercial users.

INAP is a forum to discuss results and potential of the application of Prolog
in products, production, management, services and software engineering,
together with requirements, tools, programming techniques and standards
necessary to satisfy technological and economic constraints.

Authors are invited to submit full manuscripts (max 8 pages A4) or extended
abstracts in English or Japanese on applications of Prolog and related
topics including but not limited to:

	 - Prolog in services  
 	 - Prolog as R&D tool 
	 - software engineering 
	 - programming techniques
	 - programming paradigms  
	 - standardization
	 - industrial requirements
