                    Hotel Barreira Roxa, Natal, Brazil

The "7th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation"
(WoLLIC'2000), the seventh version of a series of workshops which started
in 1994 with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary research in pure and
applied logic, will be held in Natal, Brazil, from August 15th to 18th, 2000.

The 7th WoLLIC'2000 has the scientific sponsorship of the Association
for Symbolic Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics
(IGPL), the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI),
the Sociedade Brasileira de Computacao (SBC), and the Sociedade Brasileira
de Logica (SBL).

THE LOCATION
  Natal is the capital and largest city of Rio Grande do Norte, a sun shiny
  land of beaches, dunes, coconut trees, located in north-east coast of
  Brazil.  There, the summer takes all year long (sun shines more than
  300 days per year), and the heat is softened by a constant breeze.
  Along the 400-kilometer (250-mile) coast line, calm beaches with reefs
  forming natural pools altern with good surfing spots, almost untouched
  places full of sand dunes and coconut trees.
