cognition. CSDL-2004 has been organized around the theme of
''empirical and experimental methods'' in CSDL-related research.
First Call for Papers
CSDL-2004
7th Conference on Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA
8-10 October 2004 (Friday-Sunday)
http://www.ualberta.ca/csdl2004/
Conference Theme:
CSDL-2004 has been organized around the theme of ''empirical and
experimental methods'' in CSDL-related research.
Invited Speakers:
Larry Barsalou (Psychology, Emory University)
Russ Tomlin (Linguistics, University of Oregon)
Nick Evans (Linguistics & Applied Linguistics, University of Melbourne
In addition to the three plenary lectures, there will be 50 general
session papers in two parallel sessions as well as 30 poster
presentations in two poster sessions, for a total of 83 presentations.
Information for Authors:
Please submit 500-word (maximum) abstracts for 25-minute papers or
poster presentations to csdl2004ualberta.ca by 1 May 2004. Only
electronic submissions will be accepted (please use PDF format if you
must preserve fonts or other images, otherwise Word is the preferred
attachment format). The abstracts in your electronic attachments
should include title only as they will be blind-reviewed. Please
include your name, affiliation, title of the paper, and contact
information including address, phone/fax, and email in the body of
your email message.
Successful abstracts will seek to address the theme of the conference
(empirical and experimental methods in research on conceptual
structure, discourse, and language) and will feature a well-defined
research question, clear delineation of the phenomenon of study,
precise methodology, sample data, and actual or anticipated
results. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed by at least three
referees. Notification of acceptance will be made by 15 June 2004.
We expect that the proceedings of CSDL-2004 will be published by the
Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI). Both paper
and poster presentations will be eligible for submission. Proceedings
of previous CSDL conferences are currently available through CSLI
Publications (see http://cslipublications.stanford.edu/site/CSDL.html
for information).
Information for Students:
A small number of travel subsidies (worth approximately $150 Cdn) are
available by application (see website for details) to graduate
students residing outside of Alberta. Information about crash space
will be available at a later date.
Registration:
The early registration fee is $70 Cdn (approx. $50 US) for
non-students and $10 Cdn for students. An additional $30 fee will help
defray costs of the Conference banquet on Saturday night (9 October
2004). After 1 September, the registration fee for non-students will
rise to $100 Cdn.
Site:
CSDL-2004 will be held at the University of Alberta Conference Centre
(Lister Hall) at 87th Avenue and 116th Street in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada. The Centre features a limited number of guest rooms. Other
travel, hotel, and ground transportation to follow.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear Friends and Colleagues
Finally, I can say that we are ready! The first issue, part one and
two, has been sent to the publisher. Publication of the first part is
due by January 2004. Here below you can find the contents: not so
bad! We also have in progress three special issues: synchronization
and noise dynamics; complexity of esthetics and architecture;
nonlinear neuroscience.
If you have other proposals for further special issues we would be
very happy. Any suggestion for institutional subscriptions would be
welcome.
Please, send any paper or material which could be inserted in one of
the Journal sections as listed below.
All correspondence and submissions should be addressed to the
Co-Editor Nicoletta Sala in electronic format: nsalaarch.unisi.ch
Thanks again for your support to our shared enterprise!

Chaos and Complexity Letters is a refereed journal for scientific
papers dealing with any area of complex systems research. Relevant
topics include (but are not restricted to):
* artificial life
* cellular automata
* chaos theory
* cognition
* complexity theory
*synchronization
* fractals
* genetic algorithms
* information systems
* metaphors
* neural networks
* non-linear dynamics
* parallel computation
* synergetics
Papers dealing with applications of these topics (for example, to the
arts, biology, economics, linguistics, medicine, psychology,
sociology, technology etc.) are also strongly encouraged.
Manuscripts are considered under the following categories:
Original Papers
should be original works describing scientific results. For the
printed version of the journal there is a limit of 15,000 words.
Reviews
should be detailed outlines. Multi-media hypertext provides a
superlative vehicle for reviewing many issues and reviews exploiting
these features are encouraged. Reviews should not exceed 10,000 words
in the printed version. Authors of review papers are encouraged to
contact the editor in advance.
News and Ideas
will be provocative suggestions for applications of new ideas or
methodologies. Contributions should not exceed 3,000 words in length
for the printed version.
Software and Algorithms
will include any of the following:
a) Interactive processes, such as CGI and JAVA; b) Program packages;
c) Algorithms as demonstrations of new computational ideas and
techniques. Submission of these should be accompanied by a
description of the aims, methods and implementation; documentation to
allow users to install and run the software; sample data, scripts or
any other material to provide a demonstration of the software in use;
and arrangements regarding availability. Authors should contact the
Co-Editor, before submission.
Educational Material
will include lectures, tutorials and other educational material.
Metaphors
creative papers on analogical suggestions coming from the arts and the
social sciences.
Original Data
samples of any kind of raw original data (e. g. time series etc.) that
could be offered, accompanied by detailed explicative notes, to the
scientific community to compare different methodological
approaches. To be published just in the e-version, not in the paper
version.
Journal Format
Authors should follow these guidelines. Manuscripts can be submitted
in MS Word, HTML, RTF, PDF, PostScript or LaTex. Software Programs
should be submitted in source form. They should compile and execute
successfully using GNU software only.
Citations
Citations should follow the "author-date system" (APA criteria) in the
text body referring to an alphabetical list of authors provided in the
References section.
The correct format is:
a) Text body:
..To account for broad scale distributions in space and time in
interacting dynamical systems, Bak, introduced the notion of
Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) to explain 1/f phenomena like the
Zipf laws (Bak, 1996). At the orthographic level Claude Shannon (1949)
defined other orders when he stated: ..
