         Subject: TEI Day in Kyoto 2006

Dear readers of HUMANIST,

you are cordially invited to the TEI Day in Kyoto 2006, to be held
this coming Wednesday May 17th in the city of Kyoto, Japan. The event
is hosted by the Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto
University and the TEi Consortium, it is an experimental new format,
partly within the TEI community, partly within a TEI friendly outside,
conceived with the aim of spreading the information on

     * practical aspects of the TEI encoding scheme, its uses (and
misuses), through
        examplary presentations and posters
     * new developments of the TEI encoding scheme

and to introduce the TEI to new areas and environments.

The program and abstracts of presentations and posters are now
available in English and Japanese from the following website:
http://coe21.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/tei-day/tei-day2006.html

I am looking forward to meet you here,

Christian Wittern,

Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto University
Chair, TEI Technical Council

  First International Workshop on Agent Technology and Autonomic Computing
                              (ATAC'2006)
                 Erfurt, Germany, September 18-21, 2006
               http://www.netobjectdays.org/en/conf/atac.html

AIMS AND SCOPE

Agent technology is one of the most prominent and
attractive technologies in computer science at
the beginning of the new millenium. It is not
only a promising technology, but it is also
emerging as a new way of thinking : a conceptual
paradigm for analyzing problems and for designing
systems, for dealing with complexity,
distribution, and interactivity while providing a
new perspective on computing and intelligence. Recently,
an interest has been witnessed in computing
community to autonomic computing. Inspired by the
functioning of the human nervous systems,
autonomic computing is to design and build
computing systems that posses inherent
self-managing capabilities. While autonomic
computing is a quite new revolutionary move to
the discipline of computing and so far a
holistic solution has not yet appeared, we think
that agent technology is already available for
being integrated into the framework of autonomic
computing. We look primarily in this workshop for
ideas that foster the link between agent
technology and autonomic computing. Theoretical
as well as practical aspects are welcome. The
organisers welcome participation and
contributions from those working or interested in
the intersection of agent technology and autonomic computing.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The topics of interest for ATAC'06 include, but are not limited to :
Agents for autonomic systems
Agents in self-healing
Agents in self-optimization
Agents in self-cofiguration
Agents in self-protection
Agent computing versus autonomic computing
Applications domains of agent technology and autonomic computing

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE and FORMATTING GUIDELINES

Authors should submit their contributions electronically in PDF format to
Walid.Chainbi_at_lycos.com by the deadline given
below in the list of important dates. The
contributions should be named as
contact-author-surname.pdf (example:
gregory.pdf). Papers should be written in english
with a maximum of 12 pages. Accepted papers will
be published in a workshop note and distributed
among participants during the workshop.
Depending on the quality of contributions, we are
planning to publish a post-proceedings of the
papers either as a book or a aspecial issue of an international journal.

                          CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

      18TH EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL OF LOGIC, LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION
                        July 31 - August 11, 2006
                              Malaga, Spain

                (Early registration deadline: May 14, 2006)

ESSLLI 2006 is organized by the Software Engineering Group of the University
of Malaga, under the auspices of FoLLI, the European Association for Logic,
Language and Information.

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and
computation. The school has developed into an important meeting place and
forum for discussion for students, researchers and IT professionals
interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and
Information.

The 18th edition of ESSLLI is offering 48 courses, organized into three
interdisciplinary areas (Language & Computation, Language & Logic, and Logic
& Computation), at a variety of levels (foundational, introductory,
advanced), as well as seven workshops.

All the information may be found at:

http://esslli2006.lcc.uma.es

Foundational courses aim to provide truly introductory courses into a field.
The courses presuppose absolutely no background knowledge. In particular,
they should be accessible to people from other disciplines. Introductory
courses are intended to equip students and young researchers with a good
understanding of a field's basic methods and techniques, and to allow
experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key competences of
similar disciplines, thus encouraging the development of a truly
interdisciplinary research community. Advanced courses are intended to
enable participants to acquire more specialized knowledge about topics they
are already familiar with. Workshops are intended to encourage collaboration
and the cross-fertilization of ideas by stimulating in-depth discussion of
issues which are at the forefront of current research in the field. In these
workshops, students and researchers can give presentations of their
research.

In addition to courses and workshops a student session is being also
organized, with the aim of providing Masters and PhD students with an
opportunity to present their own work to a professional audience, thereby
getting informed feedback on their own results. Unlike workshops, the
student session is not tied to any specific theme.

The early (extended) registration deadline is approaching (May 14), 2006.
