         Subject: Extreme 2007 Call for Participation

a friendly, technically challenging, intensive, thought-provoking,
argumentative, welcoming, obstreperous conference on markup,
managing information, and information structures

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
EXTREME MARKUP LANGUAGES 2007(r)
(a registered trademark of IDEAlliance)

THE MARKUP THEORY & PRACTICE CONFERENCE

Extreme is the leading international conference on markup theory and=
  practice.
If you have interesting markup applications, difficult markup problems, or
intriguing solutions to problems related to the design and use of markup,
markup languages, or markup tools; if you want to know what the leading
theorists of markup are thinking; if you are the house markup expert and
want to spend time with your kind, then you should plan on attending
Extreme Markup Languages(r) 2007.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Extreme is an open marketplace of theories about markup and all the
things that they support or that support them: the difficult cases in
publishing, linguistics, transformation, searching, indexing, and storage
and retrieval. At Extreme, markup enthusiasts gather each year to trade
in ideas, not to convince management to buy new stuff. At Extreme we push
the edges of markup theory & practice.

WHEN: August 7-10, 2007
WHERE: Montr=E9al, Canada
HOST: IDEAlliance

                                July 2-5, 2007

      WoLLIC is an annual international forum on inter-disciplinary research
      involving formal logic, computing and programming theory, and natural
      language and reasoning. Each meeting includes invited talks and
      tutorials as well as contributed papers.

      The Fourteenth WoLLIC will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from
      July 2 to July 5, 2007, and sponsored by the Association for Symbolic
      Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics (IGPL),

      (EATCS), the Sociedade Brasileira de Computacao (SBC), and the
      Sociedade Brasileira de Logica (SBL).

PAPER SUBMISSION
      Contributions are invited on all pertinent subjects, with particular
      interest in cross-disciplinary topics. Typical but not exclusive
      areas of interest are: foundations of computing and programming;
      novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of proof and
belief;
      formal methods in software and hardware development; logical approach to
      natural language and reasoning; logics of programs, actions and
resources;
      foundational aspects of information organization, search, flow, sharing,
      and protection.
      Proposed contributions should be in English, and consist of a scholarly
      exposition accessible to the non-specialist, including motivation,
      background, and comparison with related works.
      They must not exceed 10 pages (in font 10 or higher), with up to
      5 additional pages for references and technical appendices.
      The paper's main results must not be published or submitted
      for publication in refereed venues, including journals and other
      scientific meetings.
      It is expected that each accepted paper be presented at the meeting by
      one of its authors.
      Papers must be submitted electronically at
      www.cin.ufpe.br/~wollic/wollic2007/instructions.html
      A title and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by
