COMPULOG Americas aims to serve as a forum where users, researchers and developers of logic programming (LP) systems and techniques can come together for common good.
The organization aims to:

• foster better communication among LP research groups, LP related companies, and LP users in Americas
• Disseminate information about LP and LP related activities.
• Organize area meetings, workshops, and summer schools etc.
• Underscore the important role of LP in computer science and carve out a larger role for LP in mainstream computing in Americas.

COMPULOG Americas is modeled after COMPULOG-Europe from which it draws much of its inspiration, and is a follow-up to Ken Bowen's NALP initiative. The activities of COMPULOG Americas will be organized within several sub-areas. Each sub-area has an area-coordinator.

The chief coordinators of COMPULOG Americas are Gopal Gupta (gupta@cs.nmsu.edu) and I.V. Ramakrishnan (ram@cs.sunysb.edu). An advisory board, along with the various area-coordinators, helps in governing and in deciding policy issues.
The advisory board consists of:

• Ken Bowen (ALS Inc.)
• Saumya Debray (University of Arizona)
• Jacques Cohen (Brandeis University)
• Victor Marek (University of Kentucky)
• Jack Minker (University of Maryland)
• Raghu Ramakrishnan (University of Winsconsin)
• David Scott Warren (SUNY Stony Brook)

COMPULOG Americas will publish an annual newsletter.

We urge you to join COMPULOG Americas and participate in its activities.
