------------------------------------------------
First Announcement
for
Intelligent Systems / Systemes Intelligents '96
IS/SI '96
Montpellier - France 20 - 24 may 1996
------------------------------------------------
AFIA - The French Association for AI - will organise in May 1996 at
Montpellier under the label "Intelligent Systems / Systemes Intelligents
'96" four conferences dedicated to
- Artificial Intelligence / Intelligence Artificielle (AI/IA'96)
- Natural Language Engineering /
Traitement Informatique des Langues (NLE/TIL'96)
- Neural Networks / Reseaux Neuro-mimetiques / Neuro-Nimes (NN/RN '96)
- Applied AI (AAI'96)
These international conferences are the continuation of the conferences
that were organised in Avignon since 1981. Besides the move to the city of
Montpellier, the fact that AFIA coorganises these conferences with EC2 &
Co. and has now the complete responsibility of the scientific aspects, is a
major change. In parallel to IS/SI '96, the 5th conference "Interface to
Real & Virtual Worlds" will also take place in Montpellier.
The objective of AI/IA '96, NLE/TIL '96 and NN/RN '96 is to bring together
researchers and practitionners in AI to present theoretical results and to
assess state-of-the-art techniques and methods and evaluate their
applicability and their use on real-world problems.
The AAI'96 conference will mainly consist in presentations of operational
applications of AI within companies (industry, finance, service, etc).
These presentations will highlight the benefits that the european companies
are gaining by using AI techniques. They will deal with the managerial,
economical, strategic and technological aspects of the introduction of AI
systems at the workplace. They will also mention the exemplary
characteristics of the applications, so that the audience will directly
gain inspiration for new developments from the presentations.This
conference is coorganized with the AI associations from Italy and Spain.
The presentation of each conference and their Call for papers should be
sent in a few days. If you want to be sure to receive this information,

* * * * * IMPORTANT: DEADLINE APPROACHING * * * * *
SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE DESIGN
OF COOPERATIVE SYSTEMS (COOP'96).
June 12 - 14, 1996, Juan-les-Pins, France
OBJECTIVES
Information systems or knowledge-based systems of the new
generation no longer aim at performing
by themselves the whole task for which they are designed.
They are rather intended to cooperate with their users for
performing the task, as it is a real-world, complex task,
often performed in the framework of a collective work:
therefore, they are called cooperative systems.
The design, validation and maintenance of such cooperative
systems, their integration in workplaces and the analysis of their effects
in workplaces will take benefit
from relying on an interdisciplinary approach, so as to exploit
the characteristics of the cooperation between human agents and
software agents.
The purpose of the conference is to help to solve the problems arisen
from the construction of cooperative systems, by :
- a better understanding of human-human or human-computer
cooperation,
- the proposition of models of cooperation,
- and the proposition of new functions for cooperative systems
and of suitable design methodologies.
Therefore, we hope to bring together researchers
from various communities (cognitive psychology and ergonomics,
computer-supported collaborative work,
distributed artificial intelligence, group decision
support systems, knowledge engineering,
management, organization sciences...)
that all contribute to the understanding of the
specificities of cooperative systems and to the modelling
of cooperation. Both theoretical
contributions or empirical studies may be valuable for the
conference.
The conference will include both presentation of communications
and panels upon specific topics.
Suggested topics for submissions include, but are not
limited to:
1. What models of cooperation can be achieved for human-computer
interaction (in particular for collective problem
solving in workplaces)?
2. What are the characterizations of cooperative, heterogeneous
agents (i.e.human agents and software agents)?
3. What frameworks/methodologies can be offered for building
cooperative systems (for example, for knowledge acquisition
and validation of cooperative systems)?
4. How to identify appropriate agents to involve in
a task, and the cooperative interactions required to perform
a task (e.g. synchronous or asynchronous interactions) ?
5. Which techniques are helpful for collective problem solving?
6. What are the possible architectures for cooperative
systems?
7. What communication skills are required for the use of
cooperative systems (e.g. face to face or distant)?
What kinds of dialogues, negotiation or
explanation techniques, or user models are relevant for
cooperative systems?
8. How to provide a cooperative system for supporting a
workgroup? In particular, how to build intelligent computer
environments for facilitating cooperation among users of
diverse abilities during a problem-solving process?
9. What lessons have been learned from the implementation
and integration of actual cooperative systems?

CALL FOR PAPERS
TEACHING AND LANGUAGE CORPORA (TALC96)
Lancaster University 9 - 12th August 1996
AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
While the use of computer text corpora in research is now well
established, they are now being used increasingly for teaching
purposes. This includes the use of corpus data to inform and create
teaching materials; it also includes the direct exploration of corpora
by students, both in the study of linguistics and of foreign
languages. Talc96 will build upon the success of Talc94, which brought
together researchers and teachers who are involved in such work, to
take part in an international exchange of current experience and
expertise.
THEMES
KEY THEME: Talc96 will have a special focus on evaluating the claims
made for corpora in linguistics and language teaching. Papers with this
theme are especially welcome.
OTHER THEMES: which the conference is expected to cover include -
1.) The use of corpora in student led learning and investigation.
2.) Software for corpus based language and linguistics learning.
3.) Developing corpora for teaching purposes.
4.) The exploitation of corpus based teaching and learning materials. and learning materials II
5.) The theory and practice of corpus based teaching and learning.
Papers not falling within those themes, but relevant to the broad
thrust of the conference, are still welcome.
Papers presented at the conference will be of the typical 20 minutes
talk plus ten minutes of questions format.
WORKSHOPS
Talc96 will also host several workshops related to teaching and language
corpora. To give an example of what those workshops may be, Talc94
had a variety of workshops such as "Multilingual Corpus Building" and
"Concordancing and Corpus Retrieval". Should you wish to hold a practical
workshop at Talc96, please follow the submission guidelines below, but
clearly indicate on the submission that you wish it to be considered
as a workshop.
Workshops will be of one to two hour duration.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Those wishing to present a paper at Talc96 should submit an abstract
of 500 - 1000 words by 31/1/96 to
TALC 96,
Department of Linguistics and Modern English
Language,
