This volume contains most of the papers presented at the 6th Logic Programming Conference held in Tokyo, June 22-24, 1987. It is the successor of Lecture Notes in Computer Science volumes 221 and 264. The contents cover foundations, programming, architecture and applications. Topics of particular interest are constraint logic programming and parallelism. The effort to apply logic programming to large-scale realistic problems is another important subject of these proceedings.

This volume contains the papers that were presented at the Third Workshop onAlgorithmic Learning Theory, held in Tokyo in October 1992. In addition to 3invited papers, the volume contains 19 papers accepted for presentation, selected from 29 submitted extended abstracts. The ALT workshops have been held annually since 1990 and are organized and sponsored by the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence. The main objective of these workshops is to provide an open forum for discussions and exchanges of ideasbetween researchers from various backgrounds in this emerging, interdisciplinary...

This book, now in an extensively revised second edition, provides a comprehensive summary of the latest knowledge regarding glycosignals and a thorough analysis of their involvement in not only cancers but also other refractory conditions such as chronic inflammatory disorders. Many relevant topics are covered, including the search for novel tumor epitopes related to carbohydrates, the assembly of glycoconjugates, the modulation of signaling pathways by glycosylation, and interactions between complex carbohydrates and their recognition molecules. The role of various research approaches, for...
