18 December 2003, Questions and Answers: Theoretical and Applied Perspectives
(2nd CoLogNET-ElsNET Symposium)

Date: 18 December 2003
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Deadline: 1 September 2003

This symposium is the second of three devoted to the exploration of the common ground between the "Logic and Natural Language Processing" Area of CoLogNET (Network of Excellence in Computational Logic, http://www.colognet.org/) and ELSNET (Network of Excellence in Human Language Technologies, http://www.elsnet.org/). The topic of this session is 'Questions and Answers'. The symposium will address both the logical foundations underlying these notions, and technological implications for question answering systems.

The symposium aims at bringing together researchers interested in a combination of theoretical and applied perspectives, and invites an exchange of ideas between computational linguists, computer scientists and logicians. It will feature invited talks by leading researchers from academia and industry as well as a number of contributed talks. Invited speakers are Jeroen Groenendijk (ILLC, University of Amsterdam), Werner Ceusters (Language and Computing) and Karen Spärck Jones (Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge). The symposium will be co-located with the Fourteenth Amsterdam Colloqium.

Deadline for submission of papers is September 1, 2003. A selection of contributions will be published as special issue of the Journal of Applied Logic (ELSEVIER). For more information , see the symposium website at http://www-uilots.let.uu.nl/~ctl/workshops/CES03/, or contact the organizer, Raffaella Bernardi, at .

19-21 December 2003, Fourteenth Amsterdam Colloquium, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Date: 19-21 December 2003
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Deadline: 1 September 2003

The Fourteenth Amsterdam Colloquium will be held December 19 -- 21 at the University of Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, philosophers, logicians and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical foundations).

The Colloquium is organized under the auspices of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) of the University of Amsterdam.

For more information and an online registration form, see https://www.illc.uva.nl/AC03/. The preliminary program is available on this site as of October 24th.

Location: Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (Jablonna), Poland
Costs: € 75,-
Deadline: 15 September 2003

The 1st of 2 conferences in 50th Anniversary of the leading journal in symbolic logic Studia Logica. Submit papers by August 15 to

This is the first of two conferences on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the leading journal in symbolic logic Studia Logica. The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars of philosophy, logic, mathematics, and computer science and other discplines who have contributed significantly to what Studia Logica is today. The conference will include lectures by distinguished scholars covering topics within the aim and scope of the journal.

For more information, see http://www.50yrs.philog.ruc.dk/

Those who wish to do so can contribute to the conference program, by submitting comments on the paper 50 Years of Logic in Poland or one of the invited papers, or a paper of their own relevant to any of the issues covered within the scope of Studia Logica. Submissions should be made before August 15.
