Meeting Description:


              The 5th International Conference on
           Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution
                         (DAARC2004)

                  http://daarc2004.di.fc.ul.pt
               hosted by the University of Azores
                   September 23 - 24, 2004

Following the success of the previous international colloquia on
Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution at Lancaster in 1996, 1998
and 2000, and Lisbon in 2002, the next colloquium in the series will
take place in S. Miguel, Portugal, in 2004.

DAARC2004 aims to continue the trend set by the previous DAARC events,
which brought together a wide variety of research on discourse
anaphora and anaphor resolution. Our goal will be to review this
diverse field and consider the results obtained in recent years.

The DAARC2004 colloquium will be held on the 23-24th September 2004 in
Azores. The working sessions will take place at Terra Nostra Garden
Hotel, located near to a superb botanical garden, in the small village
of Furnas, in the Furnas valley, a crater of an extinct
volcano. Furnas is known for its geysers, many of them right in the
center of the village. This village is located in São Miguel Island,
the largest island of Azores archipelago, known for the untouched
beauty of its ever green landscape, with several lagoons in extinct
craters.

We would like to invite anyone currently researching in the areas of
discourse, anaphora and anaphor resolution, from any methodological
perspective or framework, to submit a paper for DAARC2004. The closing
date for submission is 15/3/04. Notification of acceptance will be
sent by 3/5/04. Selected papers are expected by 31/5/02 to be included
in the proceedings.

Please send an anonymous abstract of no more than 2 pages, together
with a separate identification page with Name(s) and Affiliation(s) of
the author(s) and with the phone number and email address of the
contact person, to the DAARC2004 organisers at the following email

Web Intelligence (WI) has been recognized as a new direction for
scientific research and development to explore the fundamental roles
as well as practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (e.g.,
knowledge representation, planning, knowledge discovery and data
mining, intelligent agents, and social network intelligence) and
advanced Information Technology (IT) (e.g., wireless networks,
ubiquitous devices, social networks, and data/knowledge grids) on the
next generation of Web-empowered products, systems, services, and
activities. It is one of the most important as well as promising IT
research fields in the era of Web and agent intelligence.
