Dear Academic Community,

In May 2009  Nikolai Alexandrovich SHANIN   will be 90.  In addition
to his outstanding  scientific  achievements,  Nikolai Alexandrovich
SHANIN  was one of the founders of the Russian school of
constructivism. In 1961 Shanin organized a group of mathematical logic
at the Leningrad Branch of the Mathematical Institute. The group
created the first computer program of producing natural deductions
which would be as close as possible to a form easily perceived by a
human. Ideas proposed by Shanin stimulated further progress in
automated deduction and proof theory in general.

We decided  to devote  the next  issue  of  the  journal  "Zapiski
Nauchnykh
Seminarov POMI" ("Notes of Mathematical Seminars of St.Petersburg
Department of V.A.Steklov Institute of Mathematics")  to  Nikolai
Alexandrovich SHANIN.  Please  find  the  call  for papers below. We
will be grateful if you  distribute  this  call for papers  among your
colleagues.

The deadline is set to April 26, 2009.
******   If you are unable to meet the deadline
******    but  strongly   wish   to  contribute,
please  communicate  a more  appropriate date  and an abstract to
the editor at the addresses listed below. We have a tight
schedule for the publication process (see below).

Faithfully yours,
     Vladimir Orevkov
