The Great Lakes Computer Science Conference is held biannually in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It is a wide-focus conference concerning all areas of Computer Science. Typically, research in data structures, algorithms (both parallel and sequential), database and VLSI design. Artificial intelligence has received the most attention. The 1989 proceedings of the Great Lakes Computer Science Conference consists of 64 papers. Artificial Intelligence, with 11 papers, is the field which was widely attended.
