CALL FOR PAPERS
Pragmatics & Cognition announces a special issue on
FACIAL INFORMATION PROCESSING:
A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE
Guest Editors
Itiel E. Dror and Sarah V. Stevenage
In many senses, faces are at the center of human interaction.
At a very basic level, faces indicate identity. However, faces
are remarkably rich information carriers. For example, facial
gestures may be used as means of conveying intentions.
Faces may also permit a direct glimpse into the person's inner
self (by unintentionally revealing, for example, aspects of
character or mood). Given their salient role, the processing of
the information conveyed by faces and its integration with
other sources of interactional information raise important
issues in cognition and pragmatics.
Research on facial information processing has investigated
these (and other) issues utilizing a variety of approaches and
methodologies, and developments in both computer and
cognitive sciences have recently carried this research forward.
The emerging picture is that there are cognitive subsystems
which specialize in different aspects of facial processing. This
has been supported by neuropsychological evidence
suggesting that brain damaged patients show dissociations
between the different aspects of face processing. In addition,
research on the development of facial processing abilities, and
on aspects of the face itself which affect these processing
abilities, has contributed to our understanding of how facial
information is perceived.
This special issue of Pragmatics and Cognition is intended to
provide a common forum for a variety of the topics currently
under investigation. Given the breadth of issues and
approaches used to investigate faces, we encourage
submissions from a wide range of disciplines. Our aim is that
this special issue will tie together the diverse research on
faces, and show their links and interdependencies.
Deadline for submission: August 1, 1998
Editorial decisions: November 1, 1998
Revised papers due: February 1, 1999
Expected publication: October 1999
Papers should be submitted according to the guidelines of the
journal (see WWW URL:

submissions will be peer reviewed. Please send five copies of
your submission either to:

PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
Second International Workshop
FroCoS'98
Frontiers of Combining Systems
October 2-4, 1998, Amsterdam
In various areas of logic, computation, language processing, and artificial
intelligence there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and
inference mechanisms for special tasks. In order to be usable in practice,
these specialized systems must be combined with each other, and they must
be integrated into general purpose systems. Recently, the development of
general techniques for the combination and integration of special systems
has been initiated in many areas.
After FroCoS'96, `Frontiers of Combining Systems '98' (FroCoS'98) is the
second workshop intended to offer a common forum for these research
activities. It also aims to offer the possibbility of presenting results
on particular instances of combination and integration, and on their
practical use.
TOPICS
- ----
Suggested, but not exclusive topics of interest for the workshop are:
* combination of constraint solving techniques and combination of
decision procedures
* integration of equational and other theories into deductive systems
* integration of data structures into CLP formalisms and deduction
processes
* combinations of logics and of term rewriting systems
* hybrid systems in computational linguistics, knowledge representation,
natural language processing, and human computer interaction
* logical modeling of multi-agent systems.
PROGRAMME COMMITEE
- ----------------
Franz Baader, David Basin, Jacques Calmet, Dov Gabbay (co-chair), Natasha
Kurtonina, Aart Middeldorp, Istvan Nemeti, Maarten de Rijke (co-chair),
Christophe Ringeissen, Klaus Schulz, Amilcar Sernadas, Michael Wooldridge
INVITED SPEAKERS
- --------------
Names of invited speakers will be released shortly.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
- ---------------
Authors are invited to submit a detailed abstract of a full paper of at
most 10 pages to the second programme co-chair, either by e-mail
(preferred) or regular mail. Results must be unpublished, and not
submitted for publication elsewhere. The cover page should include title,
authors, and the coordinates of the corresponding author. Following this
it should be indicated which of the thematic areas best describes the
content of the paper.
To be considered, submissions must be received no later than May 15, 1998.
All submissions will be thoroughly evaluated. On the basis of the referee
reports, papers will be selected for presentation at the workshop and for
the proceedings. Authors will be notified by July 15, 1998. We intend to
publish the proceedings as a volume of the Kluwer series on ``Applied
Logic''.
