                **NEW Submission Deadline: April 19**

   Workshop on Theories of Information Dynamics and Interaction and
                    their Application to Dialogue
                          TIDIAD at ESSLLI2010
               http://www.irit.fr/~Laure.Vieu/Esslli10

Workshop organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic,
Language and Information ESSLLI 2010 (http://esslli2010cph.info/)

           August 16-20 (ESSLLI 2nd week) 2010, Copenhagen


*** DUE TO SOME REQUESTS, SUBMISSION DEADLINE POSTPONED OF ONE WEEK ***



Workshop Purpose and Topics:
----------------------------

Theoretical approaches to communication and dialogue modeling are
varied and often unrelated because separately focusing on different
aspects of dialogue (speech acts, goals, beliefs, plans, questions,
conventions, roles, cooperation, disputes, argumentation, reference,
semantics-pragmatics interface...).
On the other hand, the area of foundations of multi-agent systems is
inducing new developments in logics of interaction and information
dynamics, with a recent trend towards comparison and integration.
Analyzing the impact of this trend on communication and dialogue
modeling is timely.

This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of
information dynamics and interaction and their applications to
dialogue and communication modeling. It is intended to bring together
logicians, linguists and computer scientists in order to provide a
better understanding of the potentialities and limitations of formal
methods for the analysis of dialogue and communication. Its scope
includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also
multidisciplinary aspects from linguistics, philosophy of language,
philosophy of social reality, social sciences (social psychology,
economics).

The following are some examples of formal theories and logics that are
relevant to the workshop (no order):

speech act theory,
argumentation theory,
game theory,
public announcement logic,
dynamic epistemic logic (DEL),
logics of agency and power (e.g. STIT, ATL, Coalition Logic),
theories of persuasion,
theories of commitment,
dynamic semantics,
semantic approaches to interrogative clauses,
rhetorical approaches to dialogue (e.g., Segmented Discourse
Representation Theory).


The focus of the workshop will be on recent developments, especially
those that combine several approaches (e.g. dynamic epistemic logic
and speech act theory, dynamic epistemic logic and segmented discourse
representation theory, public announcement logic and commitment
theories, STIT and dynamic epistemic logic, Coalition Logic and public
announcement logic...) to deal with complex dialogue and communication
phenomena.

relevant to the area of information dynamics, interaction and
dialogue.  Extended abstracts should have a maximum of 6 pages, font
size of at least 11pt, and margins of at least 2 cm. Papers should be
