FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 5th International Workshop on Constraints and Language Processing (CSLP2008 ) http://control.ruc.dk/CSLP2008/ August 11-15, 2008 organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and Info rmation ESSLLI 2008 (http://www.illc.uva.nl/ESSLLI2008/), 4-15 August, 2008 in Hamburg, Germany Invited Speakers: * Helen de Hoop http://baserv.uci.kun.nl/~hdehoop/ * Grard Huet http://pauillac.inria.fr/~huet/ (INRIA, France) (tentative) Workshop Organizers: Philippe Blache (Provence University, France) Henning Christiansen (Roskilde University, Denmark), co-chair henning@ruc.d k Veronica Dahl (Simon Fraser University, Canada) Jrgen Villadsen (Technical University of Denmark), co-chair jv@imm.dtu.d k 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 published papers cannot be accepted. The submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. The accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by ES SLLI. One author for each accepted paper must attend the workshop in order to pre sent the paper. Proceedings are printed as a technical report (with ISSN no.) and made avai lable online. Selected and extended papers will be included in a volume of Studies in Com putational Intelligence published by Springer.
