sunderland.ac.uk>The journal of COGNITIVE SYSTEMS RESEARCH invites recent and new books to be sent for review. Also we are interested to hear from researchers who are interested to write a review which will get published as a brief article in the journal cognitive systems research. Also, if you have recently read a new interesting, challenging, controversial book in the scope of the journal please let us know at the address below. We are particularly interested in new books and new review article writers. The journal of Cognitive Systems Research covers all topics in the study of cognitive processes, in both natural and artificial systems. The journal emphasizes the integration/synthesis of ideas, concepts, constructs, theories, and techniques from multiple paradigms, perspectives, and disciplines, in the analysis, understanding, and design of cognitive and intelligent systems. Contributions describing results obtained within the traditional disciplines (e.g., psychology, artificial intelligence) using well-established paradigms are also sought if such work has broader implications and relevance. The journal seeks to foster and promote the discussion of novel approaches in studying cognitive and intelligent systems. It also encourages cross fertilization of disciplines. This is to be achieved by soliciting and publishing high-quality contributions in all of the areas of study in cognitive science, including artificial intelligence, linguistics, psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, system and control theory, anthropology, sociology, biological sciences, and neuroscience. For more information on topics and scope please see http://www.cecs.missouri.edu/~rsun/journal.html Please send suggestions for book reviews or for being a review article author to the book review editor at the address below. Also publishers are invited to send two review copies for inspection directly. best wishes, Stefan *************************************** Professor Stefan Wermter Research Chair in Intelligent Systems University of Sunderland Centre of Informatics, SCET St Peters Way Sunderland SR6 0DD United Kingdom phone: +44 191 515 3279 fax: +44 191 515 3553 email: stefan.wermterMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
CoLi.Uni-SB.DE>* CALL FOR SYSTEM DEMONSTRATIONS * second workshop on INFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS ICoS-2 Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, July 29-30, 2000 http://www.ags.uni-sb.de/~kohlhase/event/icos2/ (Submission deadline: June 12, 2000) ABOUT ICoS - -------- Traditional inference tools (such as theorem provers and model builders) are reaching new levels of sophistication and are now widely and easily available. A wide variety of new tools (statistical and probabilistic methods, ideas from the machine learning community) are likely to be increasingly applied in computational semantics. Most importantly of all, computational semantics seems to have reached the stage where the exploration and development of inference is one of its most pressing tasks - and there's a lot of interesting new work which takes inferential issues seriously. The Workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS) intends to bring researchers from areas such as Computational Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science,and Logics together, in order to discuss approaches and applications of Inference in natural language semantics. DATES - --- People who would like demonstrate systems that address inference in computational semantics should consider the following dates: Submission Deadline for System Demos: June 12, 2000. Notification: June 19, 2000. ICoS-2: July 29-30, 2000. (COLING: July 31 - August 4, 2000) LOCATION - ------ ICoS-2 will be held the International Conference And Research Center for Computer Science SCHLOSS DAGSTUHL. Schloss Dagstuhl is situated in the Saarland (Germany), allowing participants to reach the COLING conference in Saarbruecken conveniently. Transport from Dagstuhl to Saarbruecken will be organized on sunday evening or monday morning. Invited speakers are James Allen (University of Rochester) Christof Monz (University of Amsterdam) and Bonnie Webber (University of Edinburgh). Dagstuhl offers rich computing facilities. SUBMISSIONS - --------- A two-page abstract containing a description of the system and the demonstration. Submission Deadline: June 12, 2000. Submissions can be sent to icos2Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
