Tutorial or survey papers on logic programming, particularly those dealing with several different language approaches. 2. Reusable Software (please give references other than the Proceedings of the Workshop on Reuseability in Programming which was held in Newport, RI last September). 3. Your favorite formal specification technique that can be applied to large scale, complex systems. Examples demonstrating the completeness and consistency of a set of specifications for real systems. 4. Integrated programming environments such as Cedar and Spice versus the Ada-style environments (APSEs, etc.). Discussions on the relative merits of these two kinds of environments. 5. Knowledge Based System Architectures (i.e., support of knowledge based systems from both the hardware and software point of view). Knowledge representation and its hardware/software implications. The relationship between "knowledge bases" and "data bases" and the relationship between knowledge base systems and data base systems. Thank you very much for your time and consideration in this matter. I appreciate your help: Bruce D. Shriver Computer Science Department University of Southwestern Louisiana P. O.
