Workshop on German & HPSG
8-9.Aug
DFKI
Saarbruecken
The DISCO project will hold an informal workshop on HPSG and German on
Aug. 8th and 9th in Saarbruecken (immediately before the Summer School in
Logic, Language and Information - 12-23.Aug. also in Saarbruecken).
Focus: the linguistic description of German in HPSG. Talks on related
topics (e.g. processing, alternative models in comparison to HPSG)
are also welcome, but the primary focus will be on linguistic
description---including syntax, semantics, and lexicon.
Format: small, informal workshop. Participants limited to 40 (but
we don't expect this to exclude interested participants). We suggest
talks of 40 min, followed by 20 min discussions. (Please indicate
in an abstract if your contribution would require different
scheduling.)
Preliminary schedule: The following researchers have promised talks
on HPSG and German:
Carl Pollard, The Ohio State University
Tibor Kiss, IBM Corporation
Klaus Netter, DFKI (German AI Center)
John Nerbonne, DFKI
Financing: This is a low-budget operation. We hope that researchers
planning to attend the summer school will try to include this workshop.
Publication: No definite plans here, but we will investigate modes of
fairly quick (and unrefereed) publication, which can be decided on at
the workshop.
To deliver a talk: please submit an abstract of 200-500 wd. Indicate
your time requirements should they differ from the suggested 40 min.
To attend (otherwise): please sketch your interest briefly, including
reference to work on HPSG and/or German grammar.
All potential attendees: Please send abstracts or expressions of interest
by 15.June. We shall try to respond by 1.July. Abstracts per email are
hugely preferred; please include a return (email) address in any case.
(We shall accept non email submissions, but your cooperation will be
greatly appreciated.)
With salutations from the {\it in statu nascendi} program committee,

relay.EU.net>======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS - ECAI92 - CALL FOR PAPERS - ECAI92 - CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS 10th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 92) August 3-7, 1992, Vienna, Austria The European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is the European forum for scientific exchange and presentation of AI research. The aim of the conference is to cover all aspects of AI research and to bring together basic research and applied research. The Technical Programme will include paper presentations, invited talks, panels, workshops, and tutorials. The conference is designed to cover all subfields of AI, including non-symbolic methods. ECAIs are held in alternate years and are organized by the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI). The 10th ECAI in 1992 will be hosted by the Austrian Society for Artificial Intelligence (OGAI). The conference will take place at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration. TOPICS OF INTEREST You are invited to submit an original research paper on any of the following subjects: - Automated Reasoning (e.g. automatic programming, reasoning with uncertainty, theorem proving, constraint satisfaction, logic programming, search) - Cognitive Modeling (e.g. models for human problem solving and information processing, memory models, computational theories in psychology) - Connectionist and PDP Models for AI (e.g. connectionist architectures, connectionist learning, neural networks applications) - Distributed AI and Multiagent Systems (e.g. distributed problem solving, distributed resource allocation, communication, cooperation) - Enabling Technology and Systems (e.g. machine architectures, AI computer languages, tools for AI system development) - Integrated Systems (e.g. integrating several AI components, embedded AI, integrating AI and conventional systems) - Knowledge Representation (e.g. terminological knowledge, nonmonotonic logic, foundations of temporal, causal and spatial reasoning, abduction, common sense, complexity of reasoning) - Machine Learning (e.g. inductive learning, knowledge intensive learning, discovery, concept formation) - Natural Language (e.g. text generation and understanding, speech understanding, syntax, semantics, discourse, representation issues, NL system architecture) - Philosophical Foundations (e.g. philosophy of mind, functionalism and AI, epistemological foundations) - Planning, Scheduling, and Reasoning about Actions (e.g. temporal and causal reasoning for planning, task scheduling, plan recognition, resource allocation) - Principles of AI Applications (e.g. generic applications, expert system design, tutoring systems, knowledge acquisition, case-based reasoning) - Reasoning about Physical Systems (e.g. modeling, model-based simulation, qualitative reasoning, diagnosis, design, monitoring, applications of causal, temporal and spatial reasoning for engineering, scientific, medical, economic problems) - Robotics (e.g. connecting perception to action, sensor-motor systems, kinematics, navigation, grasping) - Social, Economic, Legal, and Artistic Implications (e.g. AI scenarios, ethical issues, legal issues and responsibility, AI and music) - User Interfaces (e.g. intelligent graphical interfaces, natural language front ends, user models, knowledge-based information presentation, artificial reality) - Verification, Validation & Test of Knowledge-Based Systems (e.g. improving and securing consistency, completeness, reliability) - Vision and Signal Understanding (e.g. vision and perception in biological and technical systems, sensor interpretation, intelligent signal interpretation) SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors are requested to submit to the Programme Chairperson 5 copies of papers written in English in hardcopy format (electronic and fax submissions will not be accepted). Submitted papers must be unpublished, original work and substantially different from papers currently under review. They must not be submitted elsewhere before notification date. This restriction does not apply to workshops and similar specialized presentations with a limited audience. Papers can be either long papers (completed research: maximum 5000 words / 10 single-spaced pages) or short papers (ongoing research: maximum 2000 words / 4 pages). Each full page of figures counts as 500 words. Each paper should contain an abstract (maximum 200 words). A separate title page should include the title, the name(s) of the author(s), complete address(es), the specification of one of the above topics, and the category long or short. Papers should be printed on A4 or 8.5"x11" sized paper in letter quality print, with 12 point type (10 chars/inch on typewriter). Work described in an accepted paper may also be illustrated with a videotape or a demo. Special sessions will be scheduled for video presentations and demos. Authors wishing to show a videotape or a demo should specify the duration and the requirements of the videotape/demo when submitting their paper for review. TIMETABLE Papers must be received by the Programme Chairperson before January 17, 1992. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by April 1, 1992. Final camera-ready papers must be received by May 15, 1992. WORKSHOPS Workshops are welcome at ECAI 92. They will give participants the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in a small, informal environment, which encourages interaction and exchange of ideas. Workshop proposals should be sent to the Programme Chairperson as soon as possible, but not later than January 17, 1992. Workshop proposals should contain a brief description of the workshop and the technical issues addressed, a preliminary schedule, and the names and addresses (postal, phone, fax, e-mail) of the Organizing Committee of the workshop. The proposals will be reviewed and the organizers will be notified not later than February 28, 1992. The organizers are responsible for producing a call for participation, for reviewing requests to participate and for scheduling the workshop activities within the constraints set by the conference organizers. Workshops will be scheduled outside the main technical programme.
