                            GOTALOG 2000

        FOURTH WORKSHOP ON THE SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS OF DIALOGUE

                   Gothenburg University, Sweden
	                   June 15-17 2000

                  http://www.ling.gu.se/gotalog/

Gotalog 2000 will be the fourth in a series of workshops that aim
at bringing together researchers working on the semantics and
pragmatics of dialogues in fields such as artificial intelligence,
formal semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, and
psychology.

We invite abstracts on all topics related to the semantics and
pragmatics of dialogues, including, but not limited to:

- common ground in communication
- semantic interpretation in dialogues
- modelling agents' information states and how they get updated
- multi-agent models
- reference in dialogues
- dialogue and discourse structure
- reasoning in spoken dialogue systems

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

Authors should submit an anonymous extended abstract of at most 5
single-column pages (for talks with a duration of 30' plus 10'
discussion) together with a separate page specifying the authors'
names, affiliation, address, and e-mail address. The abstracts should
be submitted electronically (in postscript, html, ascii, or pdf
format) to: gotalog at cogsci.ed.ac.uk.

Communicating Agents

Workshop of the GLDV special interest group on
generation and parsing in morphology, syntax and semantics,
IKP, University of Bonn, Feb 15, 2000

http://www.gldv.org/Veranstaltungen/WS_Feb00/

In the focus of this workshop will be approaches to the
formal description and eventually to the implementation of
communicating agents.

We invite papers on the following aspects:

    1.incremental analysis / interpretation
            datastructure of the context (e.g. dynamic semantics)
            computational reconstruction of reference
            correlation of semantic and pragmatic interpretation
    2.partner oriented generation
            intentionally directed generation
            partner knowledge and attribution of belief
    3.evolution of systems and strategies of communication
            concept evolution / formation / construction
            evolution of linguistic norms
            repair strategies in disturbed communication

Lectures should not be longer than 20 minutes. They will be followed by
a 10 minute discussion each. Workshop languages are English and German.
We plan to publish workshop proceedings with the full papers.

System demonstrations will be possible on demand.

Abstracts of no more than 600 words should be sent
 - preferably by E-Mail in ASCII, HTML, PS or PDF format -
to Bernhard Schroeder before Jan 10, 2000.
