COMMON SENSE 96
THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON
LOGICAL FORMALIZATIONS OF COMMONSENSE REASONING
http://www-formal.Stanford.EDU/tjc/96FCS
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Stanford University
January 6-8, 1996
To endow computers with common sense is one of the major long term
goals of Artificial Intelligence research. Although we know how to
build programs that excel at certain mechanical tasks which humans
find difficult, such as playing chess, we have very little idea how to
program computers to do well at common sense tasks which are easy for
humans. One approach to this problem is to formalize common sense
reasoning using mathematical logic. This will be the focus of the
symposium.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
change, action, and causality
ontologies, including space, time, shape, and matter
non-monotonic reasoning
formal theories of context
mental attitudes including knowledge, belief, intention, obligation, etc.
belief change, update and revision
large common sense knowledge bases
other mathematical tools for capturing common sense reasoning
The symposium aims to bring together researchers who have studied
the formalization of common sense reasoning. The focus of the
symposium is on representation rather than on algorithms, and on
formal rather than informal methods. Papers should be rigorous,
theoretical and concrete. Technical papers offering new results in the
area are especially welcome. However, survey papers, and papers studying
the relationship between different approaches are also encouraged.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Persons wishing to make presentations at the workshop should submit
papers (up to 12 pages, 12pt font). Persons wishing only to attend
the workshop should submit a 1-2 page research summary including a
list of relevant publications. A postscript file or 8 paper copies
should be sent to one of the program co-chairs.

Subject: CFP: DL'96 ACM Digital Libraries '96, Mar 96, Bethesda
Call for Participation
ACM DL'96 --- Digital
Libraries '96
First ACM International Conference on
Digital Libraries
Bethesda, MD
March 20-23, 1996
ACM Digital Libraries '96 is an international conference
devoted to advancing the state-of-the-art in digital
libraries. The ACM DL series continues the sequence of
Texas conferences: DL'94 in College Station and DL'95 in
Austin. The leaders of those events are helping with DL'96
organization and program efforts. The meeting will be co-
located with Hypertext '96 in 1996 and with ACM SIGIR
'97 the following year. DL '96 will immediately follow
Hypertext '96 at the Hyatt Regency
in Bethesda, Maryland. The site is located near the
Washington D.C. Metro and provides easy access to the
many attractions in the Baltimore-Washington area.
The DL series is sponsored by ACM, through SIGIR and
SIGLINK. Other ACM SIGs have joined in cooperation,
including: SIGAda, SIGART, SIGBIO, SIGCAPH,
SIGCOMM, SIGCUE, SIGDA, SIGMIS (formerly SIGBIT),
and SIGOIS.
In-cooperation sponsors include:
ASIS (American Society for Information Science),
CNI (Coalition for Networked Information),
KSI (Knowledge Systems Inc.),
LITA (Library and Information Technology Association),
LoC (Library of Congress),
NAL (National Agricultural Library),
NLM (National Library of Medicine),
SLA (Special Libraries Association).
Three sessions at the conference have been reserved for the
working groups of the Digital Library Forum. These
groups are studying aspects of interoperability in digital
libraries. During the sessions, members of the groups will
describe the objectives of the groups, describe progress to
date, and lead discussions of the issues. The exact list of
topics has not been finally chosen, but will likely include
open architectures for digital libraries, archiving and
digital preservation, and the National Computer Science
Technical Reports Library.
Technical Program
We seek papers, posters and videos on the one hand--and
proposals for tutorials and workshops on the other hand--
on topics related to Digital Libraries, including but not
limited to the following list:
* architectures, reference models, standards
* authoring and electronic publishing
* cataloging, indexing, preserving
* collaborative environments
* collecting, capturing, filtering
* distributed data, knowledge and information
representation and systems
* economic and social implications and issues
* education, learning and related applications
* evaluation methods and user testing
* handling of graphics, GIS, multimedia information
* hypertext and hypermedia systems (especially including
WWW) and support
* information storage and retrieval
* intellectual property rights
* modeling and simulation
* networked information discovery
* networking systems, protocols, security
* publisher plans and concerns
* user interfaces
* visualization, browsing, searching
Papers
Technical papers present original reports of innovative and
substantive new work that has not been published or
submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers are refereed by
a pool of reviewers for the conference proceedings,
published by ACM. Because of the tight time schedule,
designed to ensure that the latest results will be discussed,
there will be little time for revision, so submissions should
be in near-final form.

Subject: Announcement: A mailing list on context
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 1995 08:43:22 +0000
CALL FOR CREATION OF A MAILING LIST ON
THE NOTION OF CONTEXT
The notion of context appears as a promising
challenge in a number of scientific domains
(e.g. , Artificial Intelligence), when it is
a crucial acknowledged problem in others
(e.g., Natural Language Processing). Only
during the year 1995 , several scientific
events (workshops and symposia) focused on
context in the domain of Artificial Intelli-
gence.
Now is the right time to have a real inter-
disciplinary forum where researchers, whose
work is concerned with the study and the
modelling of the context , may provide and
receive a support for their problems,present
their experiences, exchange information and
pointers, etc.
The access at the mailing list is opened to
persons wishing really to participate. A fee
is required: about 20 lines to present:
1. The domain in which you work and your
scientific activities
2. How context intervenes in your problem,
3. Which questions you wish to ask.
Please, note that:
(1) Subscription and specific questions must
be sent to:
Patrick Brezillon (brezil@laforia.ibp.fr)
(2) Use the subject of your mails to make the
topic of the mail precise,
(3) A FAQ for new participants would be main-
tained regularly.
Discussion will be by e-mail only by sending
general mail at:
context@laforia.ibp.fr
Example:
I work in Artificial Intelligence and my
research concerns the design and development
of Intelligent Cooperative Systems for the
global objective, and more specifically on
the relationships between cooperation, expla-
nation and context.I have participated in the
organization of two workshops on context at
IJCAI in 1993 (France) and 1995 (Canada), and
consider context as the key factor for the
improvement of cooperation, the explanation
generation and the incremental knowledge ac-
quisition.
The context that I consider is the context of
the interaction between a human and a machine.
My goal is to make context explicit to model
it and improve the human-machine interaction
and also human-human interaction through a
machine.
Modelling context implies to address questions
as: Is context knowledge or a mechanism to
tackle knowledge? How to exploit context to
improve the acquisition, representation, rea-
soning about,and the explanation of knowledge?
In cooperative systems,how context can improve
the cooperation between a human and a machine
in problem solving?
Patrick
Your turn now.

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURES (ICCS '96)
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
AUGUST 19-22, 1996
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission postmark deadline January 15, 1996
Notification of acceptance February 23, 1996
Camera-ready copy April 12, 1996
Conceptual graphs are a logic-based formalism for knowledge
representation based on the existential graphs of Charles S. Peirce
and semantic networks. Conceptual structures have been widely used as
a semantic representation for natural language and as a graphic system
of logic for knowledge-based expert systems, theorem provers, and
database design. Significant gains have been made in the storage and
retrieval of DBMS information coupled with knowledge-based system
problem solving capability.
Researchers have developed a sizable software base and continue to
build upon it. Successful implementations include: rule-based
systems, database systems, knowledge-based systems, knowledge
engineering tools, enterprise modeling, management information
systems, conceptual information retrieval, medical informatics and
natural language applications, among others.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing both theoretical and
practical research involving conceptual structures and related
encoding, search, and order-based techniques. Papers accepted or
under review by other conferences or journals are not acceptable as
submissions.
The International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) is the
annual conference and principle research forum in the practice and
theory of conceptual structures. The main proceedings of the conference are
published in the Springer Verlag lecture notes on Computer Science
series. Previous ICCS conferences have been held at the University of
Southern California, Santa Cruz (ICCS '95), The University of Maryland
(ICCS '94), Universite Laval, Quebec City (ICCS '93).
