CALL FOR PAPERS
The Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence Unit at
Tilburg University will host the Fourth International Workshop on
Computational Semantics (IWCS-4), that will take place from 10-12
January 2001. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers
interested in any aspects of the computation of meaning in natural
language or in language-based multimedia objects.

+------------------------+
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest for the workshop will be computational aspects
of formal semantic theories as well as theoretical issues in
building natural language understanding systems, including systens
where language is used in a multimedia setting. Papers are invited
in areas which include, but are not limited to, the following
specific topics:
* working with underspecified representations of meaning
* modelling and using context for interpretation
* the relations between semantics and pragmatics
* dynamic interpretation in text and dialogue
* interpretation and games
* computational lexical semantics
* interpretation and inference
* meaning in multimedia objects
* interpretation and optimality
* speech acts and interpretation
* incrementality and monotonicity in interpretation
* knowledge representation and reasoning in meaning computation
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Authors are asked to submit an original paper of maximally 5000
words by September 15, 2000, by email in Postscript form. All
submitted papers that are received in time will be refereed by the
programme committee and may be accepted for full presentation at
the workshop and publication in the proceedings, or for a
short/poster presentation and publication of a 2-page abstract. We
also aim at publishing a selection of accepted papers in book
form. Accepted papers should be submitted in final form in LaTeX;
guidelines for the preparation of manuscripts are available at the
IWCS web pages:
http://www.sigsem.org/iwcs4.html
For initial submission email a Postscript version of the paper to:
Computational.Semantics at kub.nl by September 15, 2000.

!!!!!!!!!!! FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 13th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI'01
University of Helsinki
Finland
August 13-24, 2001
http://www.helsinki.fi/esslli
The 13th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI'01) will take place at the University of Helsinki, Helsinki,
Finland, during two weeks in August, from August 13 until 24.
The ESSLLI Summer Schools are organised under the auspices of FoLLI
( http://www.folli.uva.nl ), the European Association for Logic, Language
and Information.
The main focus of the European Summer Schools is the interface between
linguistics, logic and computation. Foundational, introductory and
advanced courses together with workshops cover a wide variety of topics
within six areas of interest:
* Logic
* Language
* Computation
* Logic and Langu
* Logic and Computation
* Language and Computation
Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting around 500
students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an
important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and
researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language
and Information. In addition to courses, workshops and evening lectures
there will be a Student Session and a Social Program. The number of
courses offered is around 50.
LOCAL INFORMATION:
A gateway between East and West, the city of Helsinki is one of the nine
European Cities of Culture for the millennium. The scientific program of
ESSLLI'01 will be held in the Helsinki University Main Building, located
on the University city campus at the very centre of Helsinki. The
accommodation for students will be arranged in University houses at the
city campus.
