Second Call for Papers +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | CONTEXT'03 | | | | Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on | | Modeling and Using Context | | | | Stanford, California (USA) | | June 18-20, 2003 | | | | (www.context.umcs.maine.edu/CONTEXT-03) | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ The Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context, will provide a high-quality forum for discussions about context among researchers active in artificial intelligence and other areas of computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, the organizational sciences, philosophy, and psychology. 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 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 Autonomous Agents and Agent-based Systems Cognitive Modeling Commonsense Reasoning Context Issues in Databases Context-aware Applications Contextual Effects on Language Contextual Effects on Problem-solving, Understanding and Production Decision-making, and Categorization Decision Support and Expert Systems Distributed Information Systems Formal Theories of Context Heterogeneous Information Integration Human-Computer Interaction Information Management Intelligent Tutoring Systems Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems Interagent Communication Knowledge Engineering and Management Knowledge Representation Machine Learning Multiagent Systems Natural Language Processing Neuroscience and Context Organizational Theory and Design Philosophical Foundations 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.

GLiP-5 GENERATIVE LINGUISTICS IN POLAND (morpho)syntactic meeting Dates: 30 November -- 1 December 2002 Location: Warszawa (Warsaw) Sponsored by the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw and the Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences INVITED SPEAKERS: - -------------- Robert D. Borsley University of Essex Gisbert Fanselow University of Potsdam 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------- The primary aim of GLiP meetings is to bring together (i) Polish generative linguists, (ii) generative linguists working in Poland, as well as (iii) generative linguists working on Polish. We invite abstracts on any aspect of generative syntax and/or morphology in any generative approach: P&P (Minimalism, GB), HPSG, LFG, OT, etc. Talks will be organized around major syntactic topics, depending on the content of the submissions. The format of the conference is 30 min for presentation + 15 min question time. Languages of the conference are English and Polish. PROGRAMME COMMITTEE: - ----------------- Piotr BANSKI University of Warsaw Robert D. BORSLEY University of Essex Gisbert FANSELOW University of Potsdam Steven FRANKS Indiana University Adam PRZEPIORKOWSKI Polish Academy of Sciences Gilbert C. RAPPAPORT University of Texas at Austin Andrew SPENCER University of Essex ACCOMODATION: - ---------- Accommodation will be provided at the university hotel. For details please see our web page (address below). CONFERENCE FEES: - ------------- Regular: 160 PLN Student: 80 PLN DATES: - --- DEADLINE for receipt of abstracts: 4 October 2002 Notification of acceptance: 26 October 2002 Meeting: 30 November -- 1 December 2002 Deadline for submissions of papers for the proceedings volume: 31 January 2003 ABSTRACTS: - ------- Should be *anonymous* (i.e., they should contain no personal data or explicit self-references) and consist of up to 700 words, together with examples and references. Because abstract forwarding to referees will be done by e-mail exclusively, the following are the possible formats of attachments, in *descending* order of preference: (Plain Text) > PDF > Postscript > (La)TeX > Word for Windows '97 We regret to say that submissions in formats other than those listed above will not be accepted. In cases when there is no need to use special (e.g., phonetic) fonts, we strongly encourage PLAIN TEXT submissions. If data involving diacritics are quoted, please omit the diacritics unless they are essential for the proper interpretation of the proposal -- in such cases, use ASCII characters to mark them in some consistent way. Should the electronic version of the abstract require special fonts, please attach them as well. (We strongly discourage this practice though, and reserve the right to ask for a resubmission in a different format.) Any (La)TeX should be self-contained, i.e., all external styles (packages) should be enclosed. Only one submission per person and one joint submission will be considered. Please note: do NOT send abstracts on diskettes. We will accept *e-mail* submissions *exclusively*. IMPORTANT: At the beginning of your email, in the plain text part of it, please supply the following information: - name, title, - title of the paper, - affiliation, - email address, - snail mail address. Unless you send the abstract as attachment, we request that you add several blank lines between the personal information and the abstract proper, to facilitate anonymous review. ADDRESSES: - ------- NOTE: ONLY *E-MAIL* SUBMISSIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED Please send your abstracts to: GLiP-5 Organizing Committee <glipMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issuevenus.ci.uw.edu.pl> For MORE INFORMATION see: http://venus.ci.uw.edu.pl/~glip/ PRELIMINARY REGISTRATION (IMPORTANT!): - ----------------------------------- If you are (tentatively) interested in taking part in this workshop, please, send your email address to GLiP-5 Organizing Committee <glip
