       	                      (WoLLIC'2001)
                          July 31 to August 3, 2001

           Scientific Co-Sponsorship: IGPL, FoLLI, ASL, SBC, SBL

                            Brasília, Brazil

THE EVENT
  The "8th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation"
  (WoLLIC'2001), the eighth version of a series of workshops which started
  in 1994 with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary research in pure and
  applied logic, will be held in Brasília, Brazil, from July 31st to
  August 3rd 2001.

SCOPE
  Contributions will be presented in the form of short papers in all areas
  related to logic, language, information and computation, including:
  pure logical systems, proof theory, model theory, algebraic logic, type
  theory, category theory, constructive mathematics, lambda and combinatorial
  calculi, program logic and program semantics, logics and models of
  concurrency, logic and complexity theory, nonclassical logics, nonmonotonic
  logic, logic and language, discourse representation, logic and artificial
  intelligence, automated deduction, foundations of logic programming,
  logic and computation, and logic engineering.

SCIENTIFIC SPONSORSHIP
  The 8th WoLLIC'2001 has the scientific sponsorship of the Association
  for Symbolic Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics
  (IGPL), the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI),
  the Sociedade Brasileira de Computaçăo (SBC), and the Sociedade
  Brasileira de Lógica (SBL).

THE LOCATION
  Brasília, the youthful capital of Brazil - famous for its innovating
  architecture and futuristic urbanism, is situated in the geographical
  center of the country, inside the Brazilian Cerrados that is a rich
  Tropical Savannah, with a unique and diverse flora and fauna. In August,
  during the Brazilian winter, the weather is dry with an average
  temperature of 22 C, that makes ideal aquatic sports and visits to the
  natural attractions of the city as the Zoo, the Botanical Garden and the
  National Park.

GUEST SPEAKERS
  There will be a number of guest speakers, including:
  Gianluigi Bellin (Verona Univ, Italy)
  Walter Carnielli (State Univ Campinas, Brazil)
  Bruno Courcelle (Univ Bordeaux 1, France)
  Gilles Dowek (INRIA, France)
  Petr Hájek (Inst Computer Sci, Czech Acad of Sciences, Czech Republic)
  Dexter Kozen (Cornell Univ, USA)
  Jouko Väänänen (Helsinki Univ, Finland)
