SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
December 19-21, 1994, Tilburg, The Netherlands
The Institute for Language Technology and Artificial Intelligence will host a
Workshop on Computational Semantics that will take place in Tilburg,
The Netherlands, from 19 - 21 December 1994. The aim of the workshop
is to bring together researchers involved in all aspects of computational
semantics of natural language.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The workshop will focus on the computational aspects of formal semantic
theories and on the theoretical issues involved in the development of
natural language processing systems. Papers are sought in areas
which include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
* ambiguous formal representations
* the use of context in interpretation
* dynamic logic and natural language
* semantic automata
* the semantics-pragmatics interface
* incremental interpretation
* interpretation and inference
* algorithmic aspects of interpretation
* constructive type theory and natural language interpretation
All submitted papers will be refereed by an international programme committee.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Authors are asked to submit an original paper of maximally 10 pages by Monday
August 15, 1994. We strongly encourage papers to be electronically
submitted. In this case they should be in LaTeX format (a LaTeX style
sheet (iwcs.sty) can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
itkwww.kub.nl, in the directory /pub/iwcs) and should be
emailed to:
Computational.Semantics@kub.nl
If electronic submission in this form is impossible, four hard copies of the
paper, preferably prepared with LaTeX, should be sent to:

Subject: CFP: UM-94 SIG meeting on planning - abstracts, Aug 94, Hyannis
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 1994 10:11:59 GMT
UM-94 SIG meeting on
Applied Planning and Plan Recognition
Call for abstracts
MEETING TOPIC
This SIG meeting will be held during the conference on User Modelling,
Hyannis, on August 17th. The SIG meeting is intended to bring together
researchers in the field of planning and plan recognition as user modelling
techniques, to discuss the practical use of their work.
Issues in focus are:
- novel application areas,
- requirements on knowledge representation in particular applications,
- knowledge acquisition (and machine learning) methods,
- usability and user acceptance of systems exploiting planning or plan
recognition.
The workshop will consist of a small number of presentations
interleaved with in-depth discussions. Papers reporting practical
experiences are particularly encouraged, although position papers also
are welcome.
NOTIFICATION OF PARTICIPATION AND SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Participants should notify the organisers of their intention to
participate in the workshop no later than July 15th.
Participants that wish to make a presentation should submit a three
(3) page abstract of their subject together with their notification of
participation. Abstracts should be submitted preferably by email in
postcript or text form. Hard-copy submissions are also acceptable.
The number of presentations at the workshop will be strictly limited
in order to promote discussions rather than talks. Thus, authors of
some accepted abstracts may not be able to present their work.
However, all accepted abstracts will be included in the workshop
proceedings.

Subject: Announcement: IJCAI-2001 Site Proposals Solicited
PROPOSALS FOR SITES FOR IJCAI-2001 SOLICITED
International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, Inc.
(IJCAII) hereby invites proposals for cities in the United States to
host the 17th International Joint Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (IJCAI-2001), to be held in the year 2001. Draft
proposals are due by 15 June 1994. The final selection of the site
for IJCAI-2001 will be made at IJCAI-95 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
in August, 1995.
Because of the size and complexity of IJCAI conferences, it is
necessary to plan some years ahead. The selection process is also
fairly complicated. As a result, it is important for cities that
would like to host IJCAI-2001 to submit detailed proposals describing
their plans for the meeting and to prepare thorough budget estimates
in advance. The process for 2001 is somewhat simpler than it is when
conferences are held outside of North America, because the AAAI will
be responsible for local arrangements and will help prepare the
proposal.
IJCAI conferences are held every two years, usually in August. Every
third conference is now held in North America, with IJCAI-2001 planned
for the United States. IJCAI-95 will be in Montreal, Quebec, Canada;
IJCAI-97 will be in Yokohama, Japan; IJCAI-99 will be in Stockholm,
Sweden.
Proposals will be evaluated in relation to a number of site selection
criteria:
1. National, regional, and local AI community support.
2. National, regional, and local government and industry support.
3. Accessibility, attractiveness, and desirability of proposed site.
4. Appropriateness of proposed dates.
5. Adequacy of conference and exhibit facilities for the anticipated
number of registrants (currently 2000-3000 for North America;
1000-2000 or more elsewhere, depending on the location).
6. Adequacy of residence accommodations and food services in a range of
price categories and close to the conference facilities.
7. Adequacy of budget projections.
8. Balance with regard to the geographical distribution of previous
conferences.
Prospective hosts should request a detailed list of the site
information required and a set of budget categories. Initial draft
proposals should be submitted by 15 June 1994; site visits may
be scheduled during the following months; final proposals must be
available for distribution to the Executive Committee by 15 June
1995.

A couple of weeks ago there was a inquiry regarding sources on pronominal
anaphora resolution. I enclose my list of references, which I hope,
may be useful.
I have included the references on focus (center) tracking,
which are also related to (pronominal) anaphora resolution. Works which are
practically identical with previous publications of the same author, are
not listed.

Subject: Proposal: comp.theory.info-retrieval substitute
Reply-To: jesse@netcom.com
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 1994 08:00:41 GMT
comp.theory.info-retrieval seems to be dead, but it is also moderated, so it
can't really be brought back to life.
I would love to have a place to discuss what would probably be called
"intelligent information retrieval" or something, extracting desired a
desired subset from a huge source, e.g. usenet.
I'm not really sure where to start here, but a query did get me a few
responses, so I think there is sufficient interest. I'm going to spend
a long time learning about the proposal process and try to write a charter
(unless someone more qualified would like to do it!), I'd like to keep it
out of alt, even though alt groups are easier to create.
If anyone has any comments or suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them..
Possible names:
comp.thoery.info-filtering
comp.thoory.info-retrieval.intelligent
comp.ai.(either of the above)

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
17th International Conference on Software Engineering
Seattle, Washington USA
April 24-28, 1995
Sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE Computer Society TCSE
GENERAL CHAIR: Dewayne Perry, AT&T Bell Laboratories (USA)
PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS: Ross Jeffery, University of New South Wales (AUSTRALIA)

The purpose of the ICSE-17 is to provide a forum within which to promote the
development of software engineering as both an industrial practice and an
academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and
the state of the practice.
We solicit both research papers and experience reports on all topics in
software engineering, as well as tutorial and tools fair submissions. In
addition, five pre-Conference workshops will explore research issues at the
intersection between Software Engineering and other disciplines. The workshop
topics are Architectures for Software Systems, Program Transformation for
Software Evolution, Formal Methods Application in Software Engineering
Practice, Research Issues in the Intersection of Software Engineering and
Programming Languages, and Software Configuration Management (SCM5).
