See You In Vancouver
Join us for the ninth annual Museums and the Web, described by an attendee
at MW2004 as "probably my all-time favorite conference."

We're looking forward to another great review (and critique) of the state
of the Web in arts, culture and heritage.

Safe travels!

Hosted by the University of Maryland University College and being held at
the UMUC Inn and Conference Center in Adelphi, MD
The 2005 CIP Symposium will explore a few of the various ways in which
individuals and organizations think and talk about copyright infringement in
our digital age and what actions they take based upon those perceptions. The
symposium will focus on issues relevant to the higher education community

exploration, discussion, and reflection will be representatives from the
academy, library, law, corporation, nonprofit organization, technology
sector, and Capitol Hill.

-The Impact of Copyright Law and Policy on Academic Culture -Regulatory
Copyright: How Will Universities be Affected?
-P2P File Sharing: Pirates or Revolutionaries?

-The Copyright Legislative Landscape -Responses to Copyright Infringement at
University Campuses: Best Practices
Participants will include: Clifford Lynch (Coalition for Networked
Information); Jonathan Band (Morrison & Foerster LLP); Robert Brauneis
(George Washington University Law School); Jon Baumgarten (Proskauer Rose
LLP); Mark Luker (Educause); Patrick Ross (Progress & Freedom Foundation);
Gigi Sohn (Public Knowledge); Siva Vaidhyanathan (New York University); Alec
French (Office of Congressman Howard L. Berman).

         Subject: FG-MOL 2005: Final Call for Papers
FG-MOL 2005: The 10th conference on Formal Grammar and
                The 9th Meeting on Mathematics of Language
Collocated with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information
Edinburgh, Scotland, 5-7 August 2005
                            http://www.formalgrammar.tk/
Deadline for paper submission: April 1st, 2005
                                 Call for Papers
Background
FG-MOL 2005 is the 10th conference on Formal Grammar and the 9th
Meeting on the Mathematics of Language, to be held in conjunction with
the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, which
takes place in 2005 in Edinburgh.
Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague
(1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbruecken (1998), Utrecht (1999),
Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002), Vienna (2003) and Nancy (2004).
MoL meetings are organized biennially by the Association for
Mathematics of Language, which is a Special Interest Group of the
Association for Computational Linguistics. This is the second time the
two events are held in tandem, following the success of FG-MOL 2001.
Aims and Scope
FG-MOL provides a forum for the presentation of new and original
research on formal grammar, mathematical linguistics and the
application of formal and mathematical methods to the study of natural
language.
Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,
    o  formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and
pragmatics;
    o  model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
    o  logical aspects of linguistic structure;
    o  constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
    o  learnability of formal grammar;
    o  integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar;
    o  foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar;
    o  mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic
analysis.
Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from a wide
variety of frameworks.

* IPA : Intelligent Pattern Analysis
* ISA : Intelligent Systems Architectures
Each special session proposal must include the session title, description,

and/or the expertise and background of the organizers.
The special sessions chairs will be responsible for coordinating reviews
for each submitted paper by assigning them reviewers selected from the
reviewer list supplied by the session organizer.
Session organizers are also encouraged to issue a call for papers for their
