MINDS AND MACHINES affords an international forum for discussion and
debate of important and controversial issues concerning significant
developments within its areas of editorial focus. Well-reasoned
contributions from diverse theoretical perspectives are welcome, and
every effort will be made to insure their prompt publication. Among the
features that are intended to make this journal distinctive within the
field are these:
o Strong stands on controversial issues are specifically encouraged;
o Important articles exceeding normal journal length may appear;
o Special issues devoted to specific topics will be a regular feature;
o Review essays discussing current problem situations will appear;
o Critical responses to previously published pieces are also invited.
This journal is intended to foster a tradition of criticism within the
AI and philosophical communities on problems and issues of common
concern. Its scope explicitly encompasses philosophical aspects of
computer science. All submissions will be subject to review.
Publication will begin with a single volume of four issues per year.
The first issue will appear in February 1991.
Contributors should send 4 copies of their manuscript to:

17th International Conference on Research and Development
in Information Retrieval -- SIGIR'94
Sponsored by Dublin City University in cooperation with
ACM, BCS-IRSG, GI, AICA-GLIR, CEPIS-EIRSG and ICS
The SIGIR'94 conference will take place in Dublin. Ireland, from
3rd to 6th July, 1994. This conference is a forum for the exchange
of ideas and reporting of work done in areas related to information
retrieval and covers information retrieval theory, user interface
issues, multimedia, natural language processing, advanced techniques
implementations and system issues, networked information retrieval,
applications and many other areas.
Program co-chairs are Prof. Keith van Rijsbergen (Glasgow U.)
and Prof. W Bruce Croft (UMass). Contributions to the conference
can be in the form of papers, panels, tutorials or workshops. The
deadlines for submission are 6 January 1994 (papers) and 14
february 1994 (others).
For a copy of the full call for papers send e-mail to
sigir-cfp@ca.dcu.ie or contact the conference chair. Full details
on submission formats for papers, panels, tutorials or workshops
may be obtained by sending e-mail to sigir-format@ca.dcu.ie

WORKSHOP ON LOGIC AND ACTION
SYDNEY UNIVERSITY, DEC 13-14, 1993
Room S249, Dept of Philosophy, Main Quadrangle
This is an advance announcement and call for papers for a
Workshop on Logic and Action to be held in Sydney University on
Monday-Tuesday, December 13-14 1993. Details of the program will
be announced later. We do not anticipate a large number of
submissions, so will try to keep the format informal. A papers
schedule will be drawn up and loose binding copies of the papers
distributed at or before the workshop. There will be time set
aside for general discussion of points raised in the papers. We
hope to have papers reviewed for readability, and authors are
encouraged to write papers that are not necessarily complete in
development, but exploratory and even controversial. After all,
this is a workshop and not a conference!
The theory of actions or events has a long, distinguished and
somewhat controversial history. It is only recently that the
role of logic has been taken seriously in the investigation of
actions. In artificial intelligence a central role is played by
versions of actions in validating (or invalidating) claims in
non-monotonic logics. Actions are an essential part of theories
of planning. Deep psychological and philosophical issues remain
unresolved in these and related areas. Reasoning about actions,
whatever formalism is proposed for describing them, is a non-
trivial task. Yet, many of these questions have to answered if
sensible implementations of agents (or agencies) that realize
actions are envisioned. An example is the qualification problem,
viz., what conditions have to be satisfied before an action can
proceed? Another is the justifiability of thought experiments in
planning. Yet another is the problem of indeterminism.
The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners
from various disciplines who share an interest in a logical or
procedural approach to actions. Among them will be AI and
cognitive scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, psychologists
and engineers.
The Keynote Speaker is Professor Krister Segerberg from Uppsala
University, Sweden. He is one of the foremost philosophical
logicians in the world and has been working in Logic in Actions
for the last few years. Professor Segerberg is the author of
many seminal papers and research monographs, and was Professor of
Philosophy in Auckland for many years. He has kindly consented
to deliver the Keynote Address and to participate in the
workshop.
The workshop is supported in part by a grant from the Australian
Research Council.
Registration: $20 for non-students, free for students.

Papers: Length is not to exceed 10 A4 pages and should be in the
form of an extended summary. Originality of ideas is more
important than technical details. Send to Norman Foo, Basser
Dept of Computer Science, Sydney 2006 by the due date. The PC
will review the papers and decide on acceptance/rejection.
Revised full versions of accepted papers are to be in at least 11
point size single or double spaced, and not to exceed 16 A4

Subject: Position: Possible 1-semester visiting position, CS at SUNY Buffalo
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1993 13:56:50 GMT
There is a small chance that the Department of Computer Science at SUNY
Buffalo will be able to support a visitor for the Spring semester 1994.
We are interested in well-established, senior-level researchers who plan
to be on leave or on sabbatical during that time period and who would add
exitement to one of our research endeavors, collaborate with faculty,
and offer courses or seminars at the graduate level. We are especially
interested in individuals in AI or systems.
If you are interested, please send me a curriculum vitae and a covering letter.
