---------------------------------------------------------
The program for Extreme Markup Languages 2005, is now
available at: http://www.extrememarkup.com
EXTREME MARKUP LANGUAGES: Devoted to the theory and practice of
markup languages from industrial, academic, and other points of view.
It differs from other conferences partly in its unapologetic emphasis
on technical subjects and problems on the frontiers of current
practice, and partly in the participants it attracts. Extreme
typically has an unusually high concentration of markup theorists,
computer scientists, linguists, taxonomists, publishers,
lexicographers, typographers, software developers, librarians, and
other people you want to spend time with - also anarchists,
curmudgeons, and deep thinkers - and a lower than average
concentration of managers in need of a clue.
Papers at Extreme this year discuss: new tools, markup theory, RDF,
XML Schemas and schema processing, modeling XML documents, Topic
Maps, TEI, DITA, Web Services, Architecture of documents and
XML processing applications, XSLT and XQuery.
Pre-conference tutorials are described at:
http://www.mulberrytech.com/Extreme/Tutorials/
Tutorial topics include: Web services (one based on SOAP & WSDL and
based on REST), UNICODE, Processing XML with Prolog, the Data Format
Description Language (DFDL, called "daffodil") standard, and XML
design using W3C XML Schema.

The time available to study Latin in schools is being eroded; students' priorities and interests are changing; the wide-spread use of computers is creating new teaching and learning environments. The aim of this conference is to identify common issues facing Latin teachers in schools and universities and share possible solutions, particularly those making use of new technologies. The conference has three main strands: 1. A contemporary subject for the contemporary world (curriculum) What do learners in the 21st century want out of education? What does Latin offer them in terms of skills and knowledge? What arguments do we use to justify the place of Latin in the modern curriculum? To what extent does the educational, political and social context affect the case for Latin in different countries? What is the public perception of Latin among learners, employers, colleagues from other disciplines? 2. Modern courses for the modern curriculum (pedagogy) What are the principles underlying modern Latin courses? What are their teaching and learning objectives? How do they approach the teaching of syntax, accidence and vocabulary? To what extent should Latin courses incorporate aspects of cultural and historical context? What are the advantages and disadvantages of grammar-based and story-based courses? Do older learners require 'older' courses? 3. New technologies, new pedagogies (ICT) What electronic resources are available for teaching Latin language and literature? How can we exploit easily available software (such as Microsoft PowerPoint) in the classroom? To what extent can new technologies enhance teaching and learning, and create new ways of teaching and learning? How do we integrate new technologies into teaching programmes? Will new technologies transform distance learning?

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. The ESSLLI 2006 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 18th annual Summer School on a wide range of timely topics that have demonstrated their relevance in the following fields: - Logic and Language - Logic and Computation - Language and Computation PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted through a web form available at http://www.folli.org/submission.php All proposals should be submitted no later than ******* Friday June 17, 2005. ******* Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision no later than Friday September 23, 2005.
