    Meeting Description:

    Stanford, California, 26 June 2003 (co-located with CONTEXT '03)

    The late Jon Barwise was, among many other things, the first director of the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford. His book with John Perry, Situations and Attitudes, appeared some twenty years ago (in 1983), launching situation semantics, a semantic framework where context is analyzed in terms of situations.

    This workshop provides a forum for works addressing the following question: What problems, issues and/or insights connected with situation semantics and Barwise motivate your research today? And how?

    Please e-mail abstracts of up to 3 pages (11pt, PDF, PostScript or ASCII) to Tim.Fernandocs.tcd.ie on or before February 15, 2003. Notification can be expected by March 15.
