SIXTH EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL IN LOGIC,
LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION
Copenhagen Business School
Denmark
August 8 - 19, 1994
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. The Summer School
The Sixth European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information will be held at the Copenhagen Business School from
August 8th to 19th 1994. The School is organised, under
the auspices of the European Foundation for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI), jointly by The Copenhagen Business School,
University of Copenhagen and Centre for Language Technology.
The previous Summer Schools took place at the Rijksuniversiteit
Groningen, in the Netherlands, in 1989, at the Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven, in Belgium, in 1990, at the Universitat des
Saarlandes, Saarbrucken, in Germany, in 1991, at the University
of Essex Colchester, in the United Kingdom, in 1992, and at the
Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa, in Portugal, in
1993. For these Schools financial support was derived from a
variety of sources, including the Commission of the European
Community, through the ERASMUS programme and the DG XIII,
Research Networks, National Research Councils, and industrial
sponsors. The same kind of support is expected for the 1994
School.
The main focus of the Summer School is the interface between
logic, linguistics and computation, where it concerns the
modelling of human linguistic and cognitive ability. The
1994 School programme will include courses, workshops and
symposia covering a variety of topics within six areas of
interest: Logic, Language, Computation, Logic and Computation,
Computation and Language, Language and Logic.
Courses will be cast at both introductory and advanced levels.
Introductory courses are designed to familiarise students with
new fields and do not presuppose any background knowledge, while
advanced courses are designed to allow participants to acquire
more specialised expertise in areas they are already familiar
with. Workshops will be chaired by an expert in the field and
will provide an opportunity for PhD students and other young
researchers to present their work and gain informed feedback and
useful contacts. Symposia will typically consist of a series of
presentations on a timely topic by people active in the relevant
areas. Both workshops and symposia are intented to encourage
collaboration and cross fertilisation of ideas by stimulating
in-depth discussion of issues which are at the forefront of
current research in the field. There will also be a series of
invited lectures by well-known experts in the field. B. Final Programme and Registration
The final programme listing the courses, workshops and symposia
with descriptions of their contents will be available on April
1st, 1994. Also, the final programme will contain the
Registration Form and details on fees, accommodation, payment
etc. Deadline for registration will be April 30th, 1994.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 9th Knowledge-Based Software Engineering Conference (KBSE'94)
September 20-23, 1994
Monterey, California
The Knowledge-Based Software Engineering Conferences serve as a forum
for exchanging results and new ideas in the application of
knowledge-based techniques to software engineering. Knowledge-based
tools typically rely on explicit representations of knowledge about
application domains, designs, processes, etc. and support the
application of these representations to software engineer ing
activities.
KBSE'94 invites contributions describing basic research, novel
applications, working systems, and experience with applying
knowledge-based techniques in support of software artifacts and
processes. Authors should submit 5 copies of papers to the Program
Chair by 1 April, 1994. Papers should be limited to 5000 words,
full-page figures being counted as 300 words. Each paper must include
a short abstract and list of keywords. Proposals for panels,
demonstrations, and tutorials should also be sent to the Program Chair
by 1 April, 1994. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be
sent by 1 June, 1994.
Ten years ago Rome Laboratory (then called the Rome Air Development
Center) released a report prepared by a committee of distinguished
computer scientists that outlined a bold research program called the
"Knowledge-Based Software Assistant" (KBSA). The program
envisioned an integrated software development environment with
knowledge-based tools supporting all facets of the software lifecycle
and project management. Significant advances have been made towards
this goal over the last Decade. This year's conference will feature
discussions of the KBSA vision by some of the original authors.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
5th ASIS SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop
QUESTIONS, CONTROVERSIES AND CONCLUSIONS
IN CLASSIFICATION RESEARCH
The American Society for Information Science Special Interest
Group on Classification Research (ASIS SIG/CR) invites
submissions for the 5th ASIS Classification Research Workshop, to
be held at the 57th Annual Meeting of ASIS in Alexandria, VA. The
workshop will take place Sunday, October 16th, 1994, 8:30 a.m. -
5:00 p.m. ASIS '94 continues through Thursday, October 20th.
The CR Workshop is designed to be an exchange of ideas among
active researchers with interests in the creation, development,
management,representation, display, comparison, compatibility,
theory, and application of classification schemes. Emphasis will
be on semantic classification, in contrast to statistically based
schemes. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Warrant for concepts in classification schemes.
- Concept acquisition.
- Basis for semantic classes.
- Automated techniques to assist in creating classification
schemes.
- Statistical techniques used for developing explicit semantic
classes.
- Relations and their properties.
- Inheritance and subsumption.
- Knowledge representation schemes.
- Classification algorithms.
- Procedural knowledge in classification schemes.
- Reasoning with classification schemes.
- Software for management of classification schemes.
- Interfaces for displaying classification schemes.
- Data structures and programming languages for classification
schemes.
- Image classification.
- Comparison and compatibility between classification schemes.
- Applications such as subject analysis, natural language
understanding, information retrieval, expert systems.
The CR Workshop welcomes submissions from various disciplines.
Those interested in participating are invited to submit a short
(1-2 page single-spaced) position paper summarizing substantive
work that has been conducted in the above areas or other areas
related to semantic classification schemes, and a statement
briefly outlining the reason for wanting to participate in the
workshop. Submissions may include background papers as
attachments. Participation will be of two kinds: presenter and
regular participant. Those selected as presenters will be invited
to submit expanded versions of their position papers and to speak
to those papers in brief presentations during the workshop. All
position papers (both expanded and short papers) will be
published in proceedings to be distributed prior to the workshop.
The workshop registration fee is $35.00.
Submissions should be made by email, or diskette accompanied by
paper copy, or paper copy only (fax or postal), to arrive by May
15, 1994, to:
