		     LOGIC COLLOQUIUM 2001
	
	              August 6---11,2001	
		        Vienna, AUSTRIA


The LC2001, the 2001 European Summer Meeting of the Association 
of Symbolic Logic (ASL) will take place in Vienna. The LC2001 
starts on Monday, August 6 and runs till Saturday, August 11. 
The conference venues are the Vienna University of Technology 
and the University of Vienna.

These venues were chosen to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the 
publication of G?del's famous Incompleteness Theorem. In 1931 
Kurt G?del was working in Vienna and lecturing at the University 
of Vienna. 

The Logic Colloquium is the major international conference which 
integrates all fields of mathematical logic and its applications. 
Owing to its interdisciplinary and foundational character, it brings 
together outstanding researchers and students not only in classical 
logic, but also in fields such as theoretical computer science, 
computational logic, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and 
philosophy of logic and mathematics. 
The Logic Colloquium provides an important opportunity 
for young researchers to disseminate their results and to obtain 
feedback both from their peers and from senior members of the 
community. 

The program will include 15 plenary talks, featuring among
others, lectures by Olga Kharlampovich (who recently solved 
Tarski's problem), Saharon Shelah, and Toshiyasu Arai. 

The 'Colloquium' has 6 different sessions:

    Set Theory
    Model Theory
    Proof Theory and Proof Search
    Computability Theory
    Philosophy and History of Logic	 
    Computer Science and Complexity Theory

In addition, the LC2001 will include two tutorials. Owing to the 
scientific heritage of Vienna, two evening events have been planned, 
which are open to the public.

SUBMISSION of ABSTRACTS.

Abstracts of contributed talks are limited to 300 words, including 
title, headings and references. They must be submitted in hard 
copy by ordinary mail or in a plain text email. Electronically submitted

The deadline for submission of abstracts is May 1, 2001. 

The abstracts of all keynote lectures will be published in the 
    'Bulletin of Symbolic Logic'. 
The abstracts of contributed talks will be published in the 'Bulletin', 
provided at least one author is member of the ASL. Abstracts 
of all lectures and talks will appear in a volume handed out to the 
participants of the Colloquium.
