The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 1997 International Logic Programming Symposium, which will take place in Port Jefferson, Long Island, NY, from October 12 to October 17 1997.

Thus, we encourage anyone interested in attending the workshop to submit a note by electronic mail to the workshop organizers before July 1, 1997, at the address vsc@ncc.up.pt, or using the form below.
