SCOPE The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications is the professional body for mathematicians in the U.K. As part of its programme to promote the application of all branches of mathematics it is organising a conference on the applications of mathematical logic. Papers are solicited on any aspect of the application of logic to any domain of discourse. Domains of discourse include, but are not limited to: Automatic Reasoning; Cognitive Science; Computer Science; Legal Reasoning; Linguistics; Machine Learning; Medical Practice; and Planning and Modelling. Papers in fields not in this list are also welcome. Contributions are welcome from domain experts who have applied logic to their own domain as well as from logicians. PUBLICATION Papers accepted for the conference will be distributed at the conference. Selected papers, revised in the light of the conference, will be formally published in an official proceedings after a further review. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Send eight (8) copies of an extended abstract (between two (2) and three (3) sides of A4, or similar), of your paper to: Pamela Irving, The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, 16 Nelson Street, SOUTHEND-ON-SEA, SS1~1EF, England, marked ``Applications of Logic''.

crl.ucsd.edu>PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE Sixth National/International Conference of the Williams Syndrome Association BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS DISCIPLINES: COGNITION TO GENE University of California, San Diego July 26-28, 1994 Williams syndrome is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder involving characteristic facial appearance and heart defect, and displaying startling dissociations between and within domains of higher cognitive functioning. Recent breakthroughs focusing on Williams syndrome in Medical Genetics (implicating chromosome 7), Cognitive Neuropsychology, and Brain Mapping make this an opportune time to disseminate the new knowledge and its implications. The Conference is hosted jointly by the Williams Syndrome Association, The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and UCSD School of Medicine.
