FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
LABELLED DEDUCTION
(An edited volume intended for the Applied Logic Series of
Kluwer Academic Publishers)
http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~ld98/
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
In September 1998, the University of Freiburg (Germany) hosted
LD'98
The First International Workshop on Labelled Deduction.
The participants of LD'98 reported on research, related to or based on
Labelled Deduction, in many areas of computer science, artificial
intelligence, mathematical logic, cognitive science, philosophy, and
computational linguistics. More information on LD'98 is available at
the URL of the workshop http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~ld98/WS/
Motivated by the success of the workshop, the members of the program
committee of LD'98 will edit a volume collecting original papers on
this topic and titled
LABELLED DEDUCTION
(An edited volume intended for the Applied Logic Series of
Kluwer Academic Publishers)
Topics of interest
The title reflects the planned contents of this book: We welcome
original contributions on all theoretical and practical aspects of
Labelled Deduction, including but not limited to:
* Logical modeling based on Labelled Deduction
* Formal metatheory for, or based on, Labelled Deduction
* Hybrid reasoners and combinations of logics based on labelling
* Automated reasoning, implementation, and system support
* Annotated logic programming
* Applications
Submissions
* Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 18 pages
(formatted as described below) to be received by January 31st,
1999. Notification of acceptance or rejection of the papers will
be sent by April 30th, 1999, and final versions of accepted
papers will be due by June 15th, 1999.
* Submitted papers must be original and not submitted for publication
elsewhere.
* The primary means of submission is electronic, in PostScript format.
Papers should be e-mailed to ld98 at informatik.uni-freiburg.de.
If electronic submission is not possible, then 5 hard copies
should be sent to the postal address given below.
Regardless of the submission method, a letter or e-mail message
accompanying the paper must contain the title, authors, and contact
information (e-mail and postal addresses).
* Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e and the article
document class with a4paper and 11pt as options.
(Basic dimensions for a4paper-11pt format are approximately: text
height 300mm, text width 210mm, 11pt text with a 13.5pt leading
(baseline skip).)
* Submitted papers must be written in English.
Reception of submissions will be confirmed by e-mail after we have
succeeded in printing the paper.
Important dates
Submission deadline: January 31st, 1999
Notification of acceptance: April 30th, 1999
Deadline for final papers: June 15th, 1999

Subject: Second Call: Deixis
ESSLLI-workshop on
DEIXIS, DEMONSTRATION and DEICTIC BELIEF in MULTIMEDIA CONTEXTS
================================================================
Workshop held in the section 'Language and Computation' as part of the
'Eleventh European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information'
ESSLLI-99
August 9-20, 1999, Utrecht, The Netherlands
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPATION
ORGANISERS:
Elisabeth Andr'e (DFKI, Univ. of Saarbruecken)
Massimo Poesio (CogSci/HCRC, Univ. of Edinburgh)
Hannes Rieser (Bielefeld Univ. & SFB 360)
Questions concerning the workshop may be addressed to any of the organisers.
BACKGROUND:
Deixis has always been at the heart of reference research as widely known
literature in semantics and pragmatics (H.H. Clark, S.C. Levinson, H. Kamp,
D. Kaplan, W.V. Quine) demonstrates. Being fundamental, it is in the common
focus of several disciplines: Cognitive science, linguistics, philosophical
logics, AI, and psychology.
Until recently, little was known about the role of pointing and demonstration
in deixis, especially about the coordination of speech and gesture
in deictic contexts. The situation has now changed due to research in
linguistics, ethnomethodology, vision, neuro-computation, gesture analysis,
psychology, and computer simulation.
At present, research is going on at various places, aimed at the integration
of deixis information from e.g. the visual and the auditory channel.
Relevant topics in this new field are e.g. saliency, focus-monitoring, types
of gestures and demonstrations, and especially the emergence and structure of
composite signals but it also has intimate connections with problems of long
standing such as grounding, mutuality or agents' coordination in discourse.
The workshop will integrate different methodologies, experimental paradigms,
computer simulation including virtual reality approaches and formal modelling
alike. It is addressed to Master-students, PhD-students and scholars working
on philosophical, linguistic or computational aspects of deixis including
gesture.

HOW THE WORKSHOP WILL BE ORGANISED:
The workshop will consist of ten sessions (90 min. each) of presentation
and discussion of contributed papers. It will take place during the
ESSLLI-Summer School and will be open to all members of the LLI- community.
SUBMISSIONS:

researchers, are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract (hard copy or
e-mail (plain ASCII or (La)TeX) to the following address:
deixis at lili.uni-bielefeld.de
The deadline for submission of abstracts is February 15, 1999.
Notification of contributors will be given around April 15, 1999.
Contributors of selected papers will be asked to provide extended abstracts
(six pages) in LaTeX-format to be edited as ESSLLI-workshop notes.
The deadline for submission of extended abstracts is May 31, 1999.

Workshop contributors will be required to register for ESSLLI-99, but they
will be eligible for a reduced registration fee.
