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.
