9-20 August, 2004, ESSLLI-2004 Student Session, Nancy (France)

Date: 9-20 August, 2004
Location: Nancy (France)
Deadline: 1 March 2004

This ninth ESSLLI Student Session will provide, like the previous editions, an opportunity for ESSLLI participants who are students to present their own work in progress and get feedback from senior researchers and fellow-students.

The ESSLLI Student Session encourages submissions from students at any level, undergraduates (before completion of the Master Thesis) as well as postgraduates (before completion of the PhD degree). Student authors are invited to submit a full paper, not to exceed 7 pages of length exclusive of references, by March 1, 2004 (extended deadline).

For more information, see the ESSLLI'04 student session website at http://lingua.fil.ub.es/~lalonso/stusESSLLI04/.

16-20 August 2004, LCMAS04, Nancy, France

Date: 16-20 August 2004
Location: Nancy, France
Deadline: 15 March 2004

The workshop, this year in its second edition, aims at bringing together graduate students and researchers interested in topics related to the use of formal tools when applied to modelling, specifying, verifying, and reasoning about multi-agent systems in which communication and updating play a crucial role. Specifically, the workshop aims at providing a forum for discussing technical issues that arise with formalisms (epistemic, temporal, dynamic and authentication logics and tools) inspired by the needs of modelling information exchanges in multi-agent systems.

The workshop will be held within the context of ESSLLI04, the 2004 edition of the European Summer School on Logic Language and Computation, to be held in Nancy in August 2004.

Those wishing to participate in the workshop are invited to submit an original research paper, at or before March 15, 2004. For more information, see http://www.win.tue.nl/~evink/lcmas04.html

16-20 August 2004, Workshop: Semantic Approaches to Binding Theory

Date: 16-20 August 2004
Location: Nancy, France
Deadline: 26 March 2004

Binding Theory, which is concerned with sentence-internal constraints on anaphora, was originally conceived in syntactic terms as a set of conditions on the distribution of indices. But other researchers have attempted to derive these constraints from lexical semantics or the interpretative procedure rather than the syntax. Some add a semantic component to a syntactic core, but others are more radically semantic.

The workshop, which is intended for advanced PhD students and researchers, will provide a forum to compare and assess these diverse proposals. We welcome proposals for 45mn contributions (30mn presentation + 15mn discussion), which should be specific, explicit and semantically informed.

Extended deadline for submissions is March 26, 2004. This workshop is part of ESSLLI 2004. For more information, see the workshop website at http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schlenker/ESSLLI04.html.

Series of Synthese, Kluwer

Title: New Journal: Knowledge, Rationality and Action
Deadline: 29 March 2004

The aim of the section is to provide a platform for researchers in a formal approach to the process comprising rational behaviour: from gathering and representing information, via reasoning and decision making up to acting.

16 - 18 July 2004, LOFT: Logic and the Foundations of the Theory of Games and Decisions, Leipzig, Germany

Date: 16 - 18 July 2004
Location: Leipzig, Germany
Deadline: 31 March 2004

This is the sixth in a series of conferences on the applications of logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of individual and interactive decision-making.

The aim of the LOFT conferences is to promote exchange across different disciplines. Preference is given to papers which bring together the work and problems of several fields, such as game and decision theory, logic, computer science and artificial intelligence, philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics and mind sciences. Among the topics of particular relevance are:
