14TH TWENTE WORKSHOP ON LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY IN MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
December 7-8 1998, University of Twente, The Netherlands
PROGRAM AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
On 7 and 8 December 1998, the fourteenth international Twente Workshop on
Language Technology (TWLT14) will take place at the University of Twente,
Enschede, The Netherlands. The topic of this workshop will be
"Language Technology in Multimedia Information Retrieval"
TWLT14 will focus on the increasingly important role of human language
technology in the indexing and accessing of written and spoken documents,
video material and/or images, and on the role of language technology for
cross-language retrieval and information extraction. The workshop will
address the role of language and speech processing both in terms of
existing approaches and implementations, in terms of theoretical
foundations, and/or emerging directions of research.

CALL FOR PAPERS ESSLLI-workshop on
Foundations and Applications of Collective Agent Based Systems (CABS)
=====================================================================
Workshop held in the section 'Computation' as part of the
'Eleventh European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information'
ESSLLI-99
August 16-20, 1999, Utrecht, The Netherlands
PROGRAM COMMITTEE:
Wiebe van der Hoek (Utrecht University)
John-Jules Meyer (Utrecht University)
Cees Witteveen (Delft University)
Mike Wooldridge (University of London)
INVITED SPEAKER:
Christiano Castelfranchi, University of Siena
ORGANISERS:
Wiebe van der Hoek (Utrecht University) wiebe@cs.uu.nl
John-Jules Meyer (Utrecht University) jj@cs.uu.nl
Cees Witteveen (Delft University) witt@cs.tudelft.nl
Questions concerning the workshop may be addressed to any of the organizers.
BACKGROUND:
This workshop concerns the description of, specification of and
reasoning about collective agent-based systems, i.e. multi-agent
systems in the sense of co-ordinated networks of autonomous agents.
Typical issues to be addressed are logic-based approaches to
communication, synchronisation co-ordination, co-operation, conflict
handling and negotiation, collective intentions / goals, goals and
commitments. Other topics include incident handling and fault-tolerant
behaviour of such systems. Finally, applications of collective
agent-based systems in e.g. transportation, trade and e-commerce will
be subject of discussion in the workshop.
KEYWORDS:
- theories, logics and specification formalisms for Multi-Agent Systems
- models for agent communication, co-ordination, co-operation, competition,
collective intentions, contracts, delegation, (social) commitment, roles
etc.
- models and specification of emergent behaviour
- theories for agent negotiation and argumentation
- coalition formation
- conflict handling/resolution
- models and methods for conflict resolution
- multi-agent programming
- approaches dealing with incident handling and fault-tolerance in MAS
- applications in e.g. transport, trade and e-commerce
HOW THE WORKHSOP WILL BE ORGANISED:
The workshop will consist of five sessions (90 min. each) of
presentation and discussion of contributed papers. It will take place
during the second week ESSLLI-Summer School and will be open to all
members of the LLI- community.
SUBMISSIONS:
All researchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young
researchers, are encouraged to submit an abstract (hard copy or e-mail)
of not more than 12 pages to the following address:

SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURES
ICCS'99
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
July 12-15, 1999
Virginia Tech
Blacksburg, Virginia
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
Theme: Knowledge Science and Engineering with Conceptual Structures
Since 1993, ICCS has been the annual conference and principal forum for
theorists and practitioners in conceptual structures. We invite all
researchers and users of conceptual structures, knowledge representations,
ontologists, formal logics and related disciplines to participate in
ICCS'99. Previous conferences on conceptual structures have spanned theory,
application and the demonstration of software tools. ICCS'99 looks to
extend this foundation with knowledge engineering using conceptual
structures. Conceptual structures, based in the conceptual graphs
introduced by John Sowa, are rooted in semantic networks and the
existential graphs of C. S. Peirce. Conceptual structures have been widely
used in several domains, such as natural language processing, knowledge
based systems, knowledge engineering and database design, among others.
Researchers have developed a sizable software base and continue to build
upon it. Our particular desire for ICCS'99 is to encourage presentation of
software tools and interesting applications of conceptual structures.

*** EACL'99 CALL FOR STUDENT PAPERS ***
Student Sessions
at the
9th Conference of the
European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
EACL'99
June 8 - 12, 1999
University of Bergen
Bergen, Norway
http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/eacl99-student/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PURPOSE:
The goal of these sessions is to provide a forum for student members
to present WORK IN PROGRESS and receive feedback from other members of
the computational linguistics community. The sessions will consist of
paper presentations by student authors. The accepted papers will be
published in a special section of the conference proceedings. Note
that the existence of the student sessions does not influence the
treatment of student-authored papers submitted to the main conference.
Rather, the aim of the student sessions is to provide a separate track
emphasizing students' work in progress rather than completed work.
