free.fr>SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS International AAI Workshop "Interfaces prosodiques" "Prosodic Interfaces" NANTES (France) 27-28-29 March 2003 - Presentation The AAI team of the University of Nantes is calling for papers for its international workshop. Many of you participated in our Workshops in 1997, 1999 and 2002. We hope that you will honour us this year too. Our proposal this year is to investigate the field of speech prosody, which is acquiring a central dimension in many domains. This centrality explains our choice of the term 'interfaces', which underlines the articulation of prosody with other research areas. How for instance can we link prosody and syntax, pragmatics, the study of gestures? What kinds of analytic grids, phonetical or phonological, can we apply to prosodic phenomena? What can we learn from the pathology and acquisition of prosody? What is the amplitude of prosodic variation between the languages of the world, or between the dialects of a given language? How can bilingualism and second language acquisition help us to understand the role of prosody in language? All these questions, and hopefully many others, will be addressed in March 2003 in Nantes. - Topics The workshop will be organized around the following topics: - prosody and discourse : semantics, pragmatics, enunciation - prosody and syntax - prosody and acquisition / pathology - phonetic description / phonological interpretation - prosody and gestures - prosodic typology - prosody and bilingualism - prosody and speech technology - prosody, attitudes and emotions - Organisation This workshop is organised by the research team AAI (Acoustics, Acquisition and Interpretation JE2220) of the University of Nantes, and coordinated by Amina Mettouchi and Gabrielle Ferra.

Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as well as in artificial agents and other computer programs. The importance of context is widely acknowledged, and "context" has become an area of study in its own right, as evidenced by the numerous workshops, symposia, seminars, and conferences held recently. CONTEXT, the oldest conference series focusing on context, is unique due to its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research. Previous CONTEXT conferences have been held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CONTEXT'97), Trento, Italy (CONTEXT'99), and Dundee, Scotland (CONTEXT'01). Each of these brought together researchers in many disparate fields to discuss and report on research on context-related topics. The proceedings of CONTEXT'03 will be published in a Lecture Notes series (http://www.springer.de/comp/lnai) of Springer-Verlag, as were those of the previous CONTEXT conferences. TOPICS OF INTEREST To guide potential submissions, a representative sampling of topics of interest for CONTEXT'03 are as follows (in alphabetical order). This is not an exhaustive list, and other contributions are welcome, although all submissions must have a focus on context. Analogy and case-based reasoning Cognitive Modeling Context Issues in Databases Contextual effects on language understanding and production Decision Support and Expert Systems Formal Theories of Context Human-Computer Interaction Intelligent Tutoring Systems Interagent Communication Knowledge Representation Multiagent Systems Neuroscience and context Philosophical Foundations Autonomous Agents and Agent-based Systems Commonsense Reasoning Context-aware Applications Contextual effects on problem-solving, decision-making, and categorization Distributed Information Systems Heterogeneous Information Integration Information Management Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems Knowledge Engineering and Management Machine Learning Natural Language Processing Organizational Theory and Design SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Since CONTEXT'03 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions, in addition to being evaluated for their technical merit, will be evaluated for their accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged. Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for presentation at a poster session. Each submission will be evaluated by three referees. Complete formatting requirements and detailed instructions for authors can be found on the conference Web page. Note that papers cannot be longer than 14 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically--no hardcopy submissions will be accepted without prior approval from the Program Co-Chairs well in advance of the submission deadline. LaTeX and Word templates are available at the conference Web page. Papers must be in PDF format. See the conference Web page for instructions on converting to this format from Word, LaTeX, etc. Submitted papers should be received by the Program Co-Chairs no later than January 6, 2003. The conference Web page contains instructions for submitting papers electronically.
