Subject: Language and Language Acquisition Conference
ANNOUNCING A CONFERENCE : LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION 4
=============================================================
This will be an interdisciplinary seminar.
Dear colleague,
I have the pleasure to invite you to the fourth
conference we organize on Language and Language Acquisition
at the University of Mons, Belgium.
The specific theme of this conference will be :
"LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT"
Date : From August 22 to August 27, 1988
Place : Mons University.
The aim of this meeting is to further an interdiscipli-
nary and international collaboration among researchers connec-
ted one way or the other with the field of communication and
subjacent logic : this includes as well studies concerning
normal children as handicapped subjects.
Five topics have been chosen : Mathematics, Philosophy,
Logic and Computer Sciences, Psycholinguistics, Psychology and
Medical Sciences. During the conference, each morning will be
devoted to two 45-minutes lectures on one of these domains, and
to a wide discussion concerning all the papers already presen-
ted. The afternoon will be devoted to short presentations by
panelists and to further discussions concerning the panel and
everything that preceded it.
There will be no parallel sessions and, as the organi-
zers want to favour as much as possible discussions between the
participants, it has been decided to reduce the number of par-
ticipants to 70. The selection procedure will be supervised by
an international committee.
Further informations and registration forms can be
obtained by old fashioned mail or by E-mail from :

ISIIS'88
Nov.10 (Thu.), 11 (Fri.) 1988
Science Museum (Kagaku Gijutsu Kan),
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan
Organized and sponsored by:
Interoperability Technology Association for
Information Processing, Japan (INTAP)
With the support of (tentative):
Ministry of International Trade and Industry
In cooperation with:
Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ)
The Institute of Electronics, Information
and Communication Engineers of Japan (IEICE)
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
IEEE Computer Society (IEEE/CS)
Japan Electronic Industry Development Association

Japanese Standards Association
[1] SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM
This is the second ISIIS international symposium, and follows the
initial event of ISIIS'87. The symposium will focus on
interoperability technology for information processing. There
will be technical sessions for presentation of selected papers,
including reports on the national R&D program "Interoperable
Database Systems." On the symposium site, OSI-based information
network systems will also be demonstrated at the Interoperable
Networking Event (INE'88).
The goal of the symposium is to explore both the theoretical and
practical aspects of interoperable information systems.

Subject: Call for Panels for IJCAI-89
The IJCAI committee requests the submission of proposals for panel sessions
to be presented at IJCAI-89. A panel session allows from three to five
people to present their views and/or results on a common theme, issue or
question. The panel topic must be both relevant and interesting to the AI
community. The panel members must have substantive experience with the
topic. However, the members need not be members of the AI community.
Preference will be given to panels that demonstrate broad, preferably
international, participation.
A panel topic must be specified clearly and narrowly so it can be adequately
addressed in a single session. Panel sessions run for 75 minutes. The
format usually consists of an introduction by the chairperson with the
purpose of providing the audience with a background for the ensuing
discussion. The panel members, including possibly the chairperson, then
present their views and/or results, followed by interchange between the
participants and, finally, by interchange between the panelists and the
audience. Preferably, the session ends with an overview by the chairperson.
Panels may primarily serve to present information on a specific topic, such
as recent important results or the status of important projects. Panels may
focus on alternative approaches or views to a common question, where
panelists present their approaches or views and the results they produced.
Also, panels may be critical, where some members present an approach or view
and other members criticize them, allowing time for rebuttals.
REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION
A proposal consists of a cover page, an overall summary and a summary of each
member's presentation.
The cover page should contain the following.
o At the top of the first page, write "PANEL PROPOSAL".
o Title of panel: The length should be similar to the lengths of titles of
papers.
o Chairperson: Name, affiliation, phone number, postal mailing address and
electronic mailing address. Please give phone number and address for
correspondence from the United States.
o Members: Names, affiliations, phone numbers, postal mailing addresses and
electronic mailing addresses. Please give phone numbers and addresses for
correspondence from the United States.
The overall summary should be brief, giving a clear description of the panel
topic such that members of the general AI community can understand and
appreciate it. It should explain how the member's presentations will be
integrated. In addition, it should address the following questions.
o What is the relevance and/or significance of the panel, including both
the topic and the members?
o What is the general AI interest in the topic? Please give evidence, such
as recent important papers, workshops, etc.
o How does the panel membership demonstrate broad, preferably
international, participation? If it does not, why is narrow
participation preferable?
o If your topic has been discussed by another panel in a recent national or
international AI conference, how will your panel differ from it?
The overall summary should be from 500 to 1000 words in length.
The final part of the proposal should be a brief summary of each member's
presentation. This includes the chairperson if she or he will give a
presentation. Each such summary should give a clear description of the
member's view or approach, summarize results if appropriate, and demonstrate
the connections to the panel topic. Where appropriate, each summary should
support the arguments given in the overall summary. These summaries,
including the overall summary, should be coordinated such that the panel
proposal is a sensible whole and not a loosely coupled collection of parts.
Each member's summary should be approximately 500 words.
Please submit six (6) copies of the proposal (cover page, overall summary and
member summaries) no later than December 12, 1988 to:
IJCAI 89
c/o AAAI
445 Burgess Drive
Menlo Park, CA 94025-3496 USA
Chairpersons for proposals will be notified of the final decisions by March
27, 1989. The proposals selected for presentation will be published in the
proceedings. Chairpersons and members of these panels will be allowed to
submit extended versions of their summaries. Revised versions will be due by
April 27, 1989.
