Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I'd like to ask you to submit a paper to the workshop on<i> ConstraintS
and Language Processing</i>, which takes place in conjunction with
CONTEXT and that I'm (co-) organizing. As well if you could pass it
on to colleagues who might be interested, that would be super. The
call is below.<br>

CALL FOR PAPERS<br>
6th International Workshop on Constraints and Language Processing
(CSLP@Context'11)<br>
<a href="http://control.ruc.dk/CSLP2011/">http://control.ruc.dk/CSLP2011/</a><br>
27 September 2011<br>
<br>
affiliated with CONTEXT'11: The 7th International and
Interdisciplinary <br>
Conference on Modeling and Using Context 2011, Karlsruhe, Germany,<br>
26-30 September 2011<br>
<br>
Workshop Organizers:<br>
<br>
Philippe Blache, Provence University, France<br>

<br>
Workshop Purpose:<br>
<br>
The CSLP@Context'11 workshop considers the role of constraints in
the <br>
representation of language and the implementation of language
processing <br>
from an interdisciplinary perspective. This theme should be
interpreted <br>
inclusively: contributions from linguistics, computer science, <br>
psycholinguistics and related areas are welcome, and an <br>
interdisciplinary perspective is of particular interest.<br>
Constraints are widely used in linguistics, computer science, and <br>
psychology. How they are used, however, varies widely according to
the <br>
research domain: knowledge representation, cognitive modelling,
problem <br>
solving mechanisms, etc. These different perspectives are
complementary, <br>
each one adding a piece to the puzzle. For example, linguistics
proposes <br>
in-depth descriptions implementing constraints in order to filter
out <br>
structures by means of description languages, constraint ranking,
etc. <br>
The constraint programming paradigm, on the other hand, shows that <br>
constraints have to be taken as a systematic whole and can thus play
a <br>
role in building the structures (or can even replace structures). <br>
Finally, psycholinguistics experiment have been made, investigating
the <br>
role of constraint systems for cognitive processes in comprehension
and <br>
production, as well as addressing how they can be acquired.<br>
<br>
The topics include, but are not limited to<br>
- Constraints in human language comprehension and production<br>
- Context modelling and discourse interpretation<br>
- Acquisition of constraints<br>
- Constraints and learning<br>
- Cross-theoretical view of the notion of constraint<br>
- New advances in constraint-based linguistic theories<br>
- Constraint satisfaction (CS) technologies for NLP<br>
- Linguistic analysis and linguistic theories biased towards CS or <br>
constraint logic programming (CLP)<br>
- Application of CS or CLP for NLP<br>
- CS and CLP for other than textual or spoken languages, e.g.,<br>
sign languages and biological, multimodal human-computer
interaction,<br>
visual languages<br>
- Probabilistic constraint-based reasoning for NLP and context
comprehension<br>
<br>
Submission:<br>
<br>
Authors are invited to submit a full paper of up to 12 pages.<br>
Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files and be
prepared <br>
using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format.<br>
Previously published papers cannot be accepted.<br>
Submissions will handled by the EasyChair conference system and will
be<br>
reviewed by the program committee.<br>
One author for each accepted paper must attend the workshop in order
to <br>
present the paper.<br>
Proceedings will be printed by the CONTEXT conference.<br>
A volume at an international publisher will be considered for
selected <br>
and revised papers, if number and quality of submissions permits.<br>
Please see the workshop homepage for further information.<br>
