DESCRIPTION:Now that the DOP approach has entered 
 its 15th year from its original conception, the ti
 me has come to critically look back and think afre
 sh about the future. What went astray with DOP's s
 tatistical estimator and has it been solved? What 
 are the problems related to DOP's productive units
 , and how can they be redressed? What else is stil
 l to be done in DOP? And how far can the model be 
 stretched?   DOP has led to statistical extensions
  of Lexical-Functional Grammar, Head-driven Phrase
 -Structure Grammar and Tree-Adjoining Grammar. It 
 has been applied to machine translation, speech un
 derstanding, music analysis, problem-solving and e
 quational reasoning. Can it be extended to other f
 ields of cognition? What are the counter-examples 
 that DOP has to face? And what is its relation wit
 h frameworks like Case-Based Reasoning and Probabi
 listic Inductive Logic Programming?   This worksho
 p aims to provide an informal discussion platform 
 on DOP and is open to everyone. Each talk will dis
 cuss one or more open problems and will be followe
 d by ample discussion. The workshop is also meant 
 to give an overview of the projects and/or recentl
 y founded research groups on DOP at the University
  of Amsterdam, the University of St Andrews, at Du
 blin City University and the University of Essex.
