AC99 FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
THE TWELFTH AMSTERDAM COLLOQUIUM
December 17 -- 21, 1999
The Twelfth Amsterdam Colloquium will be held from Friday 17 until
Tuesday 21 December 1999, at the University of Amsterdam. The
Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together logicians, philosophers,
linguists and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal
semantic study of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics
covered ranges from descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of
expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of
semantic theories, philosophical foundations).
The program of the Twelfth Amsterdam Colloquium includes seven invited
lectures by renowned experts in the field, as well as 40 talks
selected by an international program committee. The invited speakers
are:
-> Irene Heim (MIT, Massachusets)
-> David Kaplan (UCLA, Los Angeles)
-> Bill Ladusaw (UCSC, Santa Cruz)
-> Mark Steedman (University of Edinburgh)
-> Richmond Thomason (University of Pittsburgh)
-> Ede Zimmermann (IMS, Stuttgart)
Furthermore two thematic sessions are planned, on "Non-Monotonics and
Natural Language" and "Discourse and Communication. Structured
Information Exchange".
*Submission of abstracts for the regular program*
The Colloquium has room for 40 contributed talks of approximately 40
minutes. Authors may submit an *anonymous* abstract of *two pages* (at
most 1000 words). The abstract must include a short 10 line *summary*
clearly indicating subject matter and conclusions.
A *separate leaflet* should specify the author's name, affiliation, postal
address, e-mail address plus the title of the contribution. Submission by
e-mail is encouraged, provided that the abstract, summary and personal
details are in postscript.
Abstracts can also be submitted for presentation at one of the thematic
sessions. In this case the leaflet should clearly state so. Submissions
which are not accepted for presentation at the thematic sessions, can still
be accepted for presentation in the regular program.
The *deadline* for submission of abstracts is September 1, 1999. Authors
will be notified of acceptance by October 15. Extended 6 page abstracts,
*to be included in the proceedings*, are due November 15. The proceedings
will be distributed at the conference.
*Multiple submissions* are allowed, but no single author is allowed to give
more than one presentation. In case authors are involved in more than one
submission, one or more of which are co-authored, then it should be
indicated clearly which author is actually going to give the presentation.
*Important dates*
-> 15-05-97 Second Call for papers
-> 01-09-97 Deadline for submissions
-> 15-10-97 Notification of acceptance
-> 15-11-97 Deadline for Proceedings
=> 17 -- 21 December 1999 Twelfth Amsterdam Colloquium
*Organization*
The Amsterdam Colloquia are organized every two years under the
auspices of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC)
of the University of Amsterdam. The organizing committee of the
Twelfth Amsterdam Colloquium consists of Paul Dekker, Gwen Kerdiles,
Michiel van Lambalgen, Frank Veltman and Marco de Vries.

Title of the Journal :
JOURNAL OF APPLIED SYSTEMS STUDIES
Methodologies and Applications for Systems Approaches
[ JASS ]
AIMS AND SCOPE
The mission of the "Journal of Applied Systems Studies" is on the
development of methodologies based on the laws and rules of various
sciences. New designs and functional methodologies are composed for
applications in business, operational and social, as well as biological
phenomena. The objectives of the "Journal of Applied Systems Studies" are
to widespread the science of systems and present the research and
application results of its domain. As the science rapidly changes and
grows, resources and time become more precious, "Journal of Applied Systems
Studies" provides the very best information and analysis to keep up to date
with the latest developments and approaches to other scientific domains,
through the application of systems approaches upon them.
The "Journal of Applied Systems Studies" aims to:
To provide a forum for the exchange of experiences and information of
studying the systems and the methodologies, tools and products used to
design, measure and achieve it.
To promote awareness of the crucial role of systems studies in the
effective construction of the information systems developed, used, and/or
maintained by organizations in pursuit of their business objectives.
To provide a vehicle for the publication of academic papers related to
all aspects of soft and hard system approaches.
The "Journal of Applied Systems Studies" addresses all aspects of systemic
analysis from both a practical and an academic viewpoint. It invites
contributions from practitioners and academics, as well as national and
international policy, standard making bodies, and sets out to be the
definitive international reference source for such information.
The readership of the "Journal of Applied Systems Studies" consists of
academics, systems managers, computer scientists, information scientists,
and researchers in applied system theory, as well as those involved in
management, operations and political science in different scientific
discipline i.e. Universities, Consulting Firms, Enterprises and Industries.
