ICEBOL6, The Sixth International Conference on Symbolic and Logical
Computing, is designed for teachers, scholars, and programmers who want
to meet to exchange ideas about computer programming for non-numeric
applications -- especially those in the humanities. In addition to a

on processing in a variety of programming languages such as FORTRAN, C,
C++, Lisp, and Prolog.
