The 17th international conference on logic programming will be held in the beautiful
sea resort of Paphos in Cyprus.  The  conference  will be co-located with Constraint
Programming 2001 (CP'01).  The  conference  program includes invited talks by Robert 
Kowalski, Alain Colmerauer, & Patrick Cousot, and tutorials on  various contemporary 
topics.   A  number of  post-conference workshops are also part of the program.  The 
program also includes excursions to sites around Paphos. Hotel rooms near the  conf-
erence site at greatly reduced rates are still available.

More information can be obtained from the ICLP'01 website:
