Logical Foundations of Computer Science - Tver '92

This volume presents the papers selected for the Symposium Logic at Tver '92, held at Sokol, near Tver, Russia in July 1992. It is the second in a series of international symposia on logical foundations of computer science held in Russia. The meeting is a joint effort of scholars from both the former Soviet Union and the West, and indicates a new era of international cooperation. Sponsors of the meeting include: the Association for Computing Machinery, the Association for Symbolic Logic, andthe Committee on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science of IEEE. The book is a unique source of information on the state of computer science research in the former Soviet Union and presents important discoveries in the area of logical foundations of computer science.

This volume presents the papers selected for the Symposium Logic at Tver '92, held at Sokol, near Tver, Russia in July 1992. It is the second in a series of international symposia on logical foundations of computer science held in Russia. The meeting is a joint effort of scholars from both the former Soviet Union and the West, and indicates a new era of international cooperation. Sponsors of the meeting include: the Association for Computing Machinery, the Association for Symbolic Logic, andthe Committee on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science of IEEE. The book is a unique source of information on the state of computer science research in the former Soviet Union and presents important discoveries in the area of logical foundations of computer science.
