Workshop Purpose:

The CSLP 2008 workshop addresses the question of constraints and language p
rocessing from an interdisciplinary perspective. Constraints are widely use
d in linguistics, computer science, and psychology. How they are used, howe
ver, varies widely according to the research domain: natural language proce
ssing, knowledge representation, cognitive modelling, problem solving mecha
nisms, etc. The purpose is to pursue a paradigm, unifying the different app
roaches into a common framework capable of explaining how constraints play 
a role in representing, processing and acquiring linguistic information, an
d this from a formal, technical, and cognitive perspective.

Workshop Topics:

The topics include, but are not limited to, constraint-based linguistic the
ories, constraints in human language comprehension and production, context 
modelling and discourse interpretation, acquisition of constraints, probabi
listic constraint-based reasoning, constraint satisfaction technologies and
 constraint logic programming.

Submission Details:

Authors are invited to submit a full paper of up to 12 pages in PDF 
format. The font size must be at least 10 pt when printed on A4 paper. It
 
is recommended that the LaTeX "article" style is used. Previously

attend the workshop in order to present the paper. Proceedings are printed
 
as a technical report (with ISSN no.) and made available online. Selected
 
and extended papers will be included in a volume of Studies in 
Computational Intelligence published by Springer. Please use the CSLP 2008
