The Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence Group at
Tilburg University, in collaboration with the Center for Research on
User-System Interaction IPO in Eindhoven, and the Department of
Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology, will host
the Second International Conference on the theory and applications of
Cooperative Multimodal Communication, CMC/98, to take place January
28-30, 1998.
The principal aim of the conference is to bring together researchers
involved in the design, implementation, and application of forms of
cooperative human-computer communication where natural language
(typed or spoken) is used in combination with other modalities,
such as visual feedback and direct manipulation.
The conference will focus on formal, computational, and user aspects
of building cooperative multimodal dialogue systems. Papers are sought
in areas which include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
* cooperativity in multimodal dialogue
* metaphors for human-computer interaction
* communicative acts in multimodal communication
* interacting with visual domain representations
* natural language interpretation in a multimodal context
* effective use of different media and modalities
* formal and computational models of dialogue context
* pragmatic concepts in human-computer dialogue
* the role of time in multimodal communication
* agent-based dialogue architectures
* user modelling
* approaches to dialogue management
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

> The Faxon Institute's Second Annual Colloquium on Scholarly
> Communication Issues
>
> January 7-8, 1998>
> The scholarly communication process is undergoing significant change as
> paper-based publishing continues to be supplemented, and in some cases
> supplanted, by emerging electronic technologies. As electronic
> publishing becomes more prevalent, issues related to the creation,
> distribution, ownership and the economics of scholarly information are
> challenging all parties involved in the process, including scholars,
> publishers, vendors, librarians and academic administrators.
>
> The Faxon Institute^Rs Colloquium on Scholarly Communication Issues
> series seeks to provide a forum in which all interested parties can
> participate in a provocative, but reasoned dialogue that can lead to a
> better overall understanding for everyone of these complex issues.
>
>
> PROGRAM FORMAT
>
> The focal point of the colloquium is a highly-interactive series of
> roundtable discussions which enable the participants to engage in a
> dialogue on a variety of key issues related to the scholarly
> communication process. Roundtables are scheduled consecutively
> throughout the day (Thursday, January 8) so that attendees can select
> one roundtable in which to participate and still be able to observe the
> remaining roundtable sessions from the audience. Attendees are not
> required to participate in a roundtable but can, instead, observe the
> program proceedings and ask questions at the end of each session. (Each
> of these roundtables is moderated by an experienced facilitator.)
>
>
> SPEAKERS
>
> Dr. Stanley Chodorow, Provost, University of Pennsylvania, will set the
> stage for the roundtable discussions on Thursday, February 8 with a talk
> on intellectual property issues and scholarly publishing from the
> perspective of a chief academic officer who is involved actively in
> shaping the academy^Rs position on these issues.
>
> Mr. Robert Siegel, co-host of National Public Radio^Rs popular news
> program, "All Things Considered", returns again this year to moderate
> the roundtable discussions.
>
>
> WHO SHOULD ATTEND
>
> The colloquium series is designed for research library managers and
> administrators, scholarly publishing executives and editors, researchers
> who create scholarly information, and chief academic officers and other
> administrators who develop policies related to the creation and
> management of scholarly information. The colloquium is highly
> beneficial for anyone involved in the scholarly communication process
> who wants to understand more fully the challenges and constraints faced
> by other members of the community.
