CALL FOR PAPERS
second workshop on
INFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
ICoS-2
Dagstuhl, Germany, July 29-30, 2000
http://www.ags.uni-sb.de/~kohlhase/event/icos2/
(Submission deadline: April 15, 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.
ICoS-1 took place in Amsterdam on August 15, 1999 with an attendence
of over 50 researchers. A selection of the papers presented at ICoS-1
will be published in the Journal of Language and Computation.
ICoS-2 is endorsed by SIGSEM, the Association for Computational
Linguistics (ACL) Special Interest Group (SIG) on computational
semantics.
DATES
- ---
People who would like to submit a paper, system descriptions or who
would like to attend the workshop should consider the following dates:

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.
PROGRAM
- -----
There will be three invited presentations (to be announced later).
Information about contributed talks and demo's will be made available in
due course.
The program committee for ICoS-2 consists of the following people:
Nicholas Asher
Peter Baumgartner
Johan Bos (Chair)
Dick Crouch
Nissim Francez
Udo Hahn
Ewan Klein
Michael Kohlhase (Chair)
Alex Lascarides
Dale Miller
Christof Monz
Joachim Niehren
Steve Pulman
Allan Ramsay
Maarten de Rijke

Matthew Stone
SUBMISSIONS
- ---------
We ask you to limit the final version of your research paper to 15
pages at most (11pt, a4paper, one column). System descriptions should
be no longer than 6 pages (11pt, a4paper, one column). To yield a
uniform layout for the workshop proceedings, we encourage you to use
LaTeX and use \bibiographystyle{alpha} for citations.
Note that the final version is due July 10, 2000.
Submissions can be sent to icos2ags.uni-sb.de.
In addition to the workshop proceedings, we plan to publish a special
issue of the Journal of Language and Computation devoted to
ICoS-2. Shortly after the workshop, authors will be contacted by the
editors for special issue, inviting them to contribute; we may ask you
to incorporate comments/discussions/... arising during ICoS-2 into
your paper. Details on the publication schedule for the special issue
as well as formatting instructions will be announced at the workshop.

fs1.art.man.ac.uk>Toulouse 2000 CALL FOR PAPERS International Conference 7-9 JULY 2000 Linguistics and the English Language/Linguistique et langue anglaise Universit� de Toulouse-Le Mirail (France) The D�partement d'Etudes du Monde Anglophone of the Universit� de Toulouse-Le Mirail is organizing a conference on linguistics and the English language from Friday morning 7th July to Sunday afternoon 9th July 2000. This conference is organized in partnership with the University of California at Santa Barbara and the North-West Centre for Linguistics in Great Britain (see http://www.art.man.ac.uk/german/nwcl/). The main fields covered are phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, language and cognition, �nonciation, translation theory, corpus linguistics and stylistics. Full papers will be allocated 45 minutes (paper 35 minutes, questions: 10 minutes). There will also be a poster session. Please specify whether you are submitting a full paper or a paper for the poster session. Given the number of proposals already accepted, we may have to transfer full papers to poster papers with the contributors' agreement. Coordinators: Jacques Durand/Dennis Philps Proposals in the form of a 1 page summary should be submitted by email before 1 April 2000 to : Jacques Durand at the following address : ling2000Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
