Communicating Agents

Workshop of the GLDV special interest group on generation and parsing in morphology, syntax and semantics,
IKP, University of Bonn, Feb 15, 2000

In the focus of this workshop will be approaches to the formal description and eventually to the implementation of communicating agents.

We invite papers on the following aspects:

incremental analysis / interpretation
- datastructure of the context (e.g. dynamic semantics)
- computational reconstruction of reference
- correlation of semantic and pragmatic interpretation
partner oriented generation
- intentionally directed generation
- partner knowledge and attribution of belief
evolution of systems and strategies of communication
- concept evolution / formation / construction
- evolution of linguistic norms
- repair strategies in disturbed communication

Lectures should not be longer than 20 minutes. They will be followed by a 10 minute discussion each. Workshop languages are English and German. We plan to publish workshop proceedings with the full papers.

System demonstrations will be possible on demand.

Abstracts of no more than 600 words should be sent - preferably by E-Mail in ASCII, HTML, PS or PDF format - to Bernhard Schröder before Jan 10, 2000.
