                                          Call for Participation

               LANGUAGE, INTERACTION AND COMPUTATION LAB,
        CENTER FOR MIND/BRAIN SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF TRENTO

                       Inaugural Workshop, May 29th, Rovereto (Italy)

On May 29th we will hold a workshop to celebrate the opening  of the
Language, Interaction and Computation Lab of the new
Center for Mind / Brain Sciences (CIMeC) at the University of Trento:

CIMeC is a newly opened interdisciplinary center for teaching and research
in cognitive neuroscience, directed by Alfonso Caramazza:

The Centre is organized into several labs, among which the Language,
Interaction and Computation Lab (CLIC), devoted to studying verbal and 
non-verbal
communication using a combination of cognitive and computational
methods:

in this first year, each of the labs at CiMEC will hold an inaugural
workshop - a one-day event in which some of the best known researchers
in the areas in which the lab is active will give presentations on
their work. We would like to invite researchers in computational 
linguistics
and the cognitive science of language to attend the Inaugural workshop 
of CLIC.
A  number of exciting speakers from areas including
artificial intelligence, (computational) linguistics, and
computational neuroscience have accepted to give presentations at our
Inaugural:

Harald Baayen    (Radboud University Nijmegen & Max Planck Institute for
Psycholinguistics)
Justine Cassell  (Northwestern University)
Terry Regier     (University of Chicago)
Steffen Staab    (University of Koblenz-Landau)
Mark Steedman     (University of Edinburgh & University of Pennsylvania)
Oliviero Stock    (FBK-IRST and University of Trento)

The inaugural workshop will be followed by  DECALOG, this year's edition
of SEMDIAL - a three-day conference in dialogue semantics and pragmatics:

We think that together, these two events will make for a rather
interesting scientific meeting, which we expect will be well attended
both by the local scientific community  and by researchers from abroad.

Participation in the Inaugural Workshop is free, but there will only be
a limited number of seating places so we urge you to let us know as soon
as possible if you can attend. To register for DECALOG, follow the links
from the web page or go to:

Hope to see you on May 29th!
