2-4 November 2015, 3rd meeting of the Association for the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice (APMP 2015), Paris, France
The APMP aims to foster the philosophy of mathematical practice, that is, a broad outward-looking approach to understanding mathematics that engages with mathematics in practice ~including issues in history of mathematics, the applications of mathematics, cognitive science, etc.
Invited Speakers: Abel Lassalle Casanave (Brasil), Leo Corry (Israel, to be confirmed), Silvia De Toffoli (USA), Jeremy Gray (UK), Danielle Macbeth (USA), Paolo Mancosu (USA).
Note that the Seventh French Philosophy of Mathematics Workshop (FPMW7) will be held in Paris immediately following the APMP, on November 5-7.
For more information, see http://institucional.us.es/apmp/index_APMP2015.htm
2-6 November 2015, The Ninth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT 2015), Larnaca, Cyprus
Context '15 will provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research and applications on context modeling and use. The conference will include paper and poster presentations, system demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium.
The main theme of CONTEXT 2015 is 'Back to the roots', focusing on the importance of interdisciplinary cooperations and studies of the phenomenon. Context, context modeling and context comprehension are central topics in linguistics, philosophy, sociology, artificial intelligence, computer science, art, law, organizational sciences, cognitive science, psychology, etc. and are also essential for the effectiveness of modern, complex and distributed software systems.

26-28 November 2015, LogiCIC Workshop 2015 'Reasoning in social context'
Via this workshop, we are creating a forum to exchange ideas and explore new territory in which it is clear that logic can make a difference. We are particularly interested in the interplay between logic and the social sciences, i.e. both in studying complex social-epistemic scenarios as well as in the logical tools and techniques that can be used to model them. We approach the theme of this workhop from an interdisciplinary angle, and welcome any insights on to the topic coming from areas such as Logic, Game Theory, Belief Revision Theory, Formal Epistemology, Social Science, Cognitive Science and AI (multi-agent systems).
For more information, see https://logicicworkshop2015.wordpress.com/welcome/ or contact p.rossel at uva.nl.
Participants who are interested in presenting their work at the workshop are welcome to submit a 2-page abstract by 7 November 2015 (Central European Time). Submitted abstracts have to be uploaded on the easychair site at https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=29393263.qwW8tAmwNZbV9xQj. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 11 November 2015.
14-15 November 2015, The Eighth Workshop on Intelligent Narrative Technologies (INT8), Santa Cruz CA, U.S.A.
The Intelligent Narrative Technologies (INT) workshop series aims to advance research in artificial intelligence for the computational understanding and expression of narrative. INT8, the eighth workshop in the series, will be co-located with the Eleventh Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE 2015) at University of California, Santa Cruz.
Recent years have witnessed significant advances in the technical, creative, and aesthetic interpretation of narratives with digital media, including games, simulations, interactive fiction, and electronic literature. Our goal is to contribute to this forward momentum by congregating a multidisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners to share their latest work at the intersection of narrative and technology. Previous meetings of this workshop have brought together computer scientists, psychologists, narrative theorists, media theorists, artists, writers, and members of the interactive entertainment industry. From this broad expertise, the workshop focuses on computational systems to represent, reason about, create, adapt, and perform interactive and non-interactive narrative experiences. This also includes fundamental research in relevant fields such as natural language processing, believable virtual characters, commonsense reasoning, computer vision, computational media, and human storytelling.

15 November 2015, 4th Workshop on Games and NLP (GAMNLP-15), Santa Cruz CA, U.S.A.
This workshop aims at promoting and exploring the possibilities for research and practical applications involving Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Games. The main objective is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and share ideas regarding how the NLP research community can contribute to games research and vice versa. The workshop welcomes the participation of both academics and industry practitioners interested in the use of NLP in games or vice versa. It is to be held at the 11th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE-15).

27 November 2015, Projection in Discourse: from formal to data-driven approaches
We are inviting participants for the workshop "Projection in Discourse: from formal to data-driven approaches”, held on Friday November 27 at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, on the occasion of Noortje Venhuizen's PhD defense. The aim of this workshop is to bring together current theoretical and empirical analyses of the behaviour of different types of projection phenomena, and their relation to other aspects of meaning. Besides several invited talks, the workshop will include a "data-driven" session, in which the participants are invited to collaborate on the analysis of real-life linguistic examples.
Attending the workshop is free, but we kindly ask you to register before Friday, November 20, via the registration form on the website.
