CALL FOR PAPERS
NAAHoLS AT LSA
SAN FRANCISCO, JANUARY 3-6, 2002
We invite papers relating to any aspect of the history of the language
sciences for our annual meeting, to be held in conjunction with the
annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America. Papers presented at
recent meetings included: Humanism and linguistics (Mark Amsler); The
Brazilian connection in the history of North American Linguistics
(Cristina Altman), Leonard Bloomfield's contributions to linguistics in
the United States (John Fought); Chinese and its dialects in western
eyes: one language or many? (Chris Hutton); Origins of morphophonemics
(E. F. K. Koerner); Language and knowledge in early modern philosophy
(Danilo Marcondes); Syntactic concepts and terminology in
mid-20th-century American linguistics (James McCawley); Philosophical
language and the reform of higher education in 17th-century England
(Joseph Subbiondo); Why the accusative is called accusative (Daniel
Taylor); The significance of Babel in western conceptualization of
second language learning (Margaret Thomas).
All presenters must be members of the association (see below for details
on membership). Papers will be 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for
discussion. Abstracts may be submitted as hard copies or as file
attachments (MS Word only). The length of an abstract should not exceed
200 words. Do not use smaller than 12-point type for the abstracts. The
deadline for abstracts is 1 September, 2001. Send your abstract to:
Michael Mackert, Secretary, NAAHoLS, German-English Language Services,
445 Madigan Avenue, Morgantown WV 26501-6426, USA, Fax: (775) 418-4206,

MEMBERS FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Our treasurer regrets that we
are no longer able to accept checks written in currencies other than US
Dollars. The cost of bank exchange is more than the cost of membership.
We ask that those members send a check written on a US bank or pay
their dues by some other means that arrives in US Dollars. We regret
this inconvenience forced upon us by intransigent banks.

third workshop on
INFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
ICoS-3
Siena, Italy, June 18-20, 2001
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kohlhase/event/icos3/
(NEW SUBMISION DEADLINE: April 2, 2001)
ABOUT ICoS
- --------
Traditional inference tools (such as theorem provers and model
builders) are reaching new levels of sophistication and are now widely
and easily available. A wide variety of new tools (statistical and
probabilistic methods, ideas from the machine learning community) are
likely to be increasingly applied in computational semantics. Most
importantly of all, computational semantics seems to have reached the
stage where the exploration and development of inference is one of its
most pressing tasks - and there's a lot of interesting new work which
takes inferential issues seriously.
The Workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS) intends to
bring researchers from areas such as Computational Linguistics,
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Logic together, in
order to discuss approaches and applications of Inference in natural
language semantics.
ICoS-1 took place in Amsterdam on August 15, 1999 with an attendance
of over 50 researchers. A selection of the papers presented at ICoS-1
has been published in a special issue of the Journal of Language and
Computation.
ICoS-2 took place in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, on July 29-30,
2000. Although the attendance was only 30, it was an intense and
communicative meeting. A selection of the papers presented at ICoS-2
will be published in the Journal of Language and Computation.
ICoS-3 will be co-located with the the International Joint Conference
on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR 2001, which takes place June 18-23, 2001
at Siena, Italy. IJCAR is a joint meeting of all major conferences on
automated theorem proving (CADE, FTP, TABLEAUX), and is therefore a
good chance to meet the theorem proving community.
ICoS-3 is endorsed by SIGSEM, the Association for Computational
Linguistics (ACL) Special Interest Group (SIG) on computational
semantics.
DATES
- ---
People who would like to submit a paper, system descriptions or who
would like to attend the workshop should consider the following dates:
New Submission Deadline: April 2, 2001.
ICoS-3 Tutorials June 18, 2001.
ICoS-3 Workshop: June 19-20, 2001.
IJCAR: June 18-23, 2001
INVITED SPEAKERS
- --------------
The invited speakers at ICoS-3 are:
David Israel (SRI International)
Alexander Koller (Saarbruecken)
Ian Pratt-Hartmann (Manchester)
Tutorials
- -------
We will start off the workshop with two tutorials on June 18. This
gives the researchers from automated reasoning and computational
semantics respectively to get an understanding of the other field
before the actual workshop. The tutorials will given by
Claire Gardent (CNRS, Nancy): Computational Semantics
for automated reasoners
Uli Furbach (Univ. Koblenz): Automated Reasoning
for computational semanticists
PROGRAM COMMITTEE
- ---------------
The program committee for ICoS-3 consists of the following people:
Patrick Blackburn, INRIA Lorraine (co-chair)
Michael Kohlhase, Carnegie-Mellon University (co-chair)
Johan Bos, Edinburgh
Peter Baumgartner, Koblenz
David Beaver, Stanford
Dick Crouch, Xerox Parc
Maarten de Rijke, Amsterdam
Nissim Francez, Haifa
Udo Hahn, Freiburg
Gerard Huet, INRIA Rocquencourt
Dale Miller, State College
Martha Palmer, UPenn
Stephen Pulman, Oxford
Matthew Stone, Rutgers Univ
Jun-ichi Tsuji, Tokyo
Bonnie Webber, Edinburgh
SUBMISSIONS
- ---------
We invite three kinds of submissions
(LaTeX2e, 11pt, one column, a4paper (not a4wide.sty)):
- research papers on inference methods in computational semantics as well
as their applications (15 pages),
- system descriptions (6 pages), System descriptions should focus on
actual implementations, explaining system architecture issues and
specific implementation techniques. Every system description should be
accompanied by a system demo at ICoS-3.
- system demos (2 page abstracts): People who would like demonstrate
systems that address inference in computational semantics should send
two-page abstracts.
Research papers and system descriptions will be peer-refereed by the
programme committee above, system demos are only screened for
appropriateness by the program chairs.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: APRIL 2, 2001.
The primary means of submission will be electronic, in PostScript
format. Submissions should be sent to the organizers.icos3 at ags.uni-sb.de
In addition to the (informal) workshop proceedings, we plan to publish
a special issue of the Journal of Language and Computation devoted to
ICoS-3. Shortly after the workshop, authors will be contacted by the
editors for special issue, inviting them to contribute; we may ask you
to incorporate comments/discussions/... arising during ICoS-3 into
your paper. Details on the publication schedule for the special issue
as well as formatting instructions will be announced at the workshop.
Registration and Further Information If you have any questions, please
contact the local organizers at icos3 at ags.uni-sb.de.
