5 July 2005, The Semantics/Pragmatics Distinction: What Is It, and Does It Really Matter?

Date: Tuesday 5 July 2005
Location: Paris, France
Deadline: 25 March 2005

Workshop held in conjunction with CONTEXT 05, the Fifth International Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context.

The aim of the workshop is to examine the relationships among the different criteria used in distinguishing pragmatic phenomena from semantic ones, to elicit proposals for new criteria, and to discuss the relevance and the applications of the semantics/pragmatics distinction.

Paper submission deadline is 25 March 2005. For more information, see http://spworkshop.online.fr/

5 July 2005, Context Representation and Reasoning

Date: Tuesday 5 July 2005
Location: Paris, France
Deadline: 25 March 2005

Most of the results in knowledge representation and automated reasoning are based on the assumption that knowledge is stored in an unique homogeneous block. In the last decade, with the advent of the web and the ubiquitous connectivity, it becomes more and more relevant in many application areas to have the capability to represent and reason on knowledge bases which are not organized as a monolithic entity, but in which knowledge is scattered in a large set of local and autonomous inter-related contexts. In more recent years, a number of approaches to context representation and reasoning have been proposed in the different application areas, possibly under different names. This workshop has the main objective to allow the exchange of these experiences among expert in the different application areas.

This workshop is held in conjunction with the 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context. For more information, see here, http://sra.itc.it/events/crr05/ or http://www.context-05.org/.

6-9 July 2005,
Eighth European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches
to Reasoning with Uncertainty (ECSQARU-2005)
, Barcelona, Spain

Date: 6-9 July 2005
Location: Barcelona, Spain

The biannual ECSQARU conferences are a major forum for advances in the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty. Contributors are expected to come both from researchers interested in advancing the technology and from practitioners who are using uncertainty techniques in applications. The scope of ECSQARU includes, but is not limited to, fundamental issues, representation, inference, learning, and decision making in qualitative and numeric paradigms.

Deadline for early registration: 20 May 2005

For more information, an online registration form and a preliminary program, see http://www.ecsqaru.org/ECSQARU2005/

8 July 2005,
CSCA Symposium Cognitive development:
from human evolution to child language acquisition
, The Trippenhuis, Kloveniersburgwal 29, Amsterdam

Date: 8 July 2005
Location: The Trippenhuis, Kloveniersburgwal 29, Amsterdam

One of the big debates in contemporary cognitive science concerns the issue of the relative contributions of `mature' and `nurture' in cognitive development. In many books and articles, Mike Tomasello has advocated the role of `nurture', in particular in the area of language acquistion. The symposium hosts proponents and opponents of Tomasello's views, and will highlight the controversial issues.

The aim of the symposium, held on July 8th, 2005, is a critical but constructive evaluation of professor Tomasello's work, highlighting convergences and differences with other traditions in developmental studies (such as generative linguistics).
