You have landed a summer job as the technical assistant to the director of an adventure movie shot here in Australia. The script calls for a large package to be dropped onto the bed of a fast moving truck from a helicopter that is hovering above the road, out of view of the camera. The helicopter is 90 m above the road, and the bed of the truck is 1m above the road. The truck is traveling down the road at 60 km/hour. ...

... The aim of this workshop is to get together theorists, who develop models leading to such cosmic polarization rotation (CPR), and experimentalists, who search for CPR using a variety of complementary methods, in order to discuss current results and future directions.

Underdetermined sets is a new type of data structures (terms) developed in Actor Prolog . ... The point is that an underdetermined set can include some indefinite rest (a tail) like a list in usual Prolog . At the same time, the order of elements of an underdetermined set can be arbitrary one and it does not affect results of unification of underdetermined sets. Moreover, Actor Prolog guarantees that a rest of an underdetermined set never contains elements that are explicitly given in the set. ...
