BRIEF MISSION STATEMENT:
- -------------------------------------------
This workshop aims to provide a forum for recent research on interactions
between information structure (as a component of sentence-level semantics),
discourse structure and discourse-level semantics.
Both Information Structure (IS) and Discourse Structure (DS) are construed
broadly here:
- IS, as comprising structural and semantic properties of utterances
relating to the discourse status of their content, the actual and attributed
attentional states of the discourse participants, and the participants'
prior and changing attitudes.
- DS, as covering all aspects of the internal organizational structure of a
discourse, an essential aspect being the use of explicit and implicit
devices signifying links between clause and sentences.
Understanding IS in light of DS and vice versa is not only justified on
theoreticalgrounds: Experience with applications such as translating
telephony and interactive query-answering makes it clear that a theory
relating IS and DS is essential for accurate Natural Language Processing.
The workshop aims to attract researchers in computational and theoretical
linguistics and logic who are investigating IS-sensitive discourse
processing and to facilitate contact, exchange of ideas and cooperation
between them. We hope that the participants will
transcend the difficulties caused by proliferating terminologies, and
concentrate instead on investigating the interactions between IS and DS,
with the goal of understanding how sentence-level semantic devices that make
up IS symbiotically serve the needs of discourse cohesion and coherence. We
seek contributions advancing beyond descriptive frameworks towards an
explanatory account of how IS and DS, in whatever framework, interact to
refer to and update a dynamically evolving representation of discourse
context. The submitted papers will be refereed by the PC.
See http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~ivana/esslli01-wsh/ for more details.

Subject: 3rd International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems
- ----------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------
ICEIS-2001
3rd International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems
Setubal, PORTUGAL
July 7-10, 2001
http://www.iceis.org and http://www.est.ips.pt/iceis
Organised by the School of Technology of Setubal, Portugal. With the
collaboration of AAAI and IEEE (ComSoc and EnNet TC).
SCOPE
The purpose of this 3rd International Conference on Enterprise
Information Systems (ICEIS) is to bring together researchers, engineers
and practitioners interested in the advances and business applications
of information systems. Four simultaneous tracks will be held, covering
different aspects of Enterprise Information Systems Applications,
including Enterprise Database Technology, Systems Integration,
Artificial Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Information Systems
Analysis and Specification, Internet Computing and Electronic Commerce.
ICEIS focuses on real world applications; therefore authors should
highlight the benefits of Information Technology for industry and
services. Ideas on how to solve business problems, using IT, will arise
from the conference. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems,
tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future
directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are
invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at
the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the
Proceedings of ICEIS. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and
originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are
welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial
presentations, as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific
topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their
products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial
are invited to contact the conference secretariat.
Information concerning previous ICEIS editions (ICEIS'99 and ICEIS 2000)
can be found at http://www.iceis.org and http://www.staffs.ac.uk/iceis
