We are pleased to announce the fourth Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'06) to be held in Seattle, Washington, in August 2006, at the Seattle Sheraton (http://www.easychair.org/FLoC-06/floc-hotel.html).

The FLoC'06 program includes a keynote session to commemorate the Goedel Centenary, with John Dawson and Dana Scott as speakers, a keynote talk by David Harel, plenary talks by Randy Bryant and David Dill, and invited talks by F.

Seattle, the Emerald city, sits on the shores of Puget Sound surrounded by mountains to the east and west. Lovely views of blue waters and snow capped peaks seem to appear everywhere - around the next bend in the road or between the buildings downtown. Seattle is the gateway to the Pacific Northwest, a premier tourist attraction. In Seattle, Mt. Rainier enchants visitors; in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Coast Range juts out over downtown; and in Portland, 5,000 acres of forestland north of the city center harbor deer, elk, and the odd bear and cougar. Online registration for FLoC is now open at: http://www.easychair.org/FLoC-06/ Deadline for early registration is July 10, 2006. The rates agreed upon between FLoC and the Seattle Sheraton are very reasonable rates for a first-class hotel in downtown Seattle during the summer vacation season. To reduce conference costs and keep registration fees reasonable, FLoC is contractually obligated to meet a commitment for a certain number of FloC attendees staying in the conference hotel. FLoC attendees are strongly encouraged to use the Seattle Sheraton for conference accommodation. Deadline for preferred hotel rate is July 21, 2006. FLoC'06 Steering Committee Moshe Y.
