CALL FOR PAPERS

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
December 19-21, 1994, Tilburg, The Netherlands

The Institute for Language Technology and Artificial Intelligence will host a
Workshop on Computational Semantics that will take place in Tilburg,
The Netherlands, from 19 - 21 December 1994. The aim of the workshop
is to bring together researchers involved in all aspects of computational
semantics of natural language.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The workshop will focus on the computational aspects of formal semantic
theories and on the theoretical issues involved in the development of
natural language processing systems. Papers are sought in areas
which include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
* ambiguous formal representations
* the use of context in interpretation
* dynamic logic and natural language
* semantic automata
* the semantics-pragmatics interface
* incremental interpretation
* interpretation and inference
* algorithmic aspects of interpretation
* constructive type theory and natural language interpretation

All submitted papers will be refereed by an international programme committee.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Authors are asked to submit an original paper of maximally 10 pages by Monday
August 15, 1994. We strongly encourage papers to be electronically
submitted. In this case they should be in LaTeX format (a LaTeX style
sheet (conf.sty) can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
itkwww.kub.nl, in the directory /pub/iwcs) and should be
emailed to:

Computational.Semanticskub.nl

If electronic submission in this form is impossible, four hard copies of the
paper, preferably prepared with LaTeX, should be sent to:

Reinhard Muskens
Institute for Language Technology and Artificial Intelligence (ITK)
Tilburg University
PO Box 90153, 5000 LE Tilburg

Each title page should contain the names, addresses, phone numbers and email
addresses (if available) of all authors. Final papers are due on
November 1, 1994. A copy of the proceedings will be
available for each participant at the workshop.
