The SEMDIAL series of workshops brings together researchers working on  
the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue in fields such as artificial  
intelligence, computational linguistics, formal semantics/pragmatics,  
philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience (see past SemDials).
In 2012 the workshop will be hosted by Université Paris-Diderot (Paris  
7). The Semdial workshops are always stimulating and fun, and Paris is  
of course one of the greatest cities to visit, especially in  
September. SeineDial will be immediately preceded by a workshop on  
Dialogue and Contextualism (see https://sites.google.com/site/semdial2012seinedial/workshop-on-dialogue-and-contextualism 
  ) and will feature a special session on The Acquisition of Dialogue.

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

--models of common ground/mutual belief in communication
--modelling agents' information states and how they get updated
--multi-agent models and turn-taking
--goals, intentions and commitments in communication
--semantic interpretation in dialogues
--reference in dialogues
--ellipsis resolution in dialogues
--dialogue and discourse structure
--interpretation of questions and answers
--gesture in communication
--intonational meaning in dialogue
--humour in dialogue
--natural language understanding and reasoning in spoken dialogue  
systems
--multimodal dialogue systems
--dialogue management in practical implementations
--categorisation of dialogue moves or speech acts in corpora
--designing and evaluating dialogue systems
--contextual factors underlying child utterances in dialogue
--repair in child/adult interaction
