Linguistic Subfield: Neurolinguistics
Call deadline: 31-Jan-2004


Meeting Description:
BICS 2004 encompasses: Cognitive Neuro Science (CNS 2004, Biologically
Inspired Systems (BIS 2004), Neural Computation (NC'2004)

Call information:

The science of neural computation focuses on mathematical aspects for
solving complex practical problems. It also seeks to help neurology,
brain theory and cognitive psychology in the understanding of the
functioning of the nervous system by means of computational models of
neurons, neural nets and sub-cellular processes. BICS2004 aims to
become a major point of contact for research scientists, engineers and
practitioners throughout the world in the fields of cognitive and
computational systems inspired by the brain and biology.

Participants will share the latest research, developments and ideas in
the wide arena of disciplines encompassed under the heading of
BICS2004.

Please consult the conference website for more information on
submitting papers.

Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics (LENLS)

Linguistics Subfield: Semantics
Call deadline: 31-Jan-2004


Meeting Description:

Recently, one of the main streams of the formal semantics of natural
language and logic has been developing "dynamic semantics." The aim of
this workshop is to explore the theory and application of dynamic
semantics to natural language. Areas of exploration will include the
application of dynamic semantics to natural language semantics,
programming languages, natural language processing, and other areas of
information engineering.
