IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: May 15, 2011 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2011 Final abstracts due: August 1, 2011 Registration deadline: September 1, 2011 Symposium: September 26-30, 2011 Programme and submission details can be found at: http://www.illc.uva.nl/Tbilisi/Tbilisi2011/ SPECIAL SESSIONS **Special session on Frames, chaired by Sebastian Loebner** The workshop deals with theory and application of frames (in the sense of Barsalou: attribute-value structures with functional attributes) in the areas of Language (Semantics, Syntax, ...), Logic, Computation, Mathematics, and Cognitive psychology. Talks are invited that deal with topics such as * formal modeling and semantics of frames * dynamic modeling of verbs * extension of frame theory to different types of concepts * dynamic models of frames * computational aspects of frames * frames as representations in lexical and compositional semantics, syntax, morphology, phonology, etc. Invited Speakers: TBA Call for Contributed Workshop Talks: Please submit your abstract (max. 2 pages) by 15 May 2011 via the conference' easychair system where you can select the category "Frames": http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tbillc2011 Registration: All participants registered via the main conference site can attend the workshop, see: http://www.illc.uva.nl/Tbilisi/Tbilisi2011/#/Registration/ Important Dates: Workshop Submission deadline: 15 May 2011 Workshop Notification of the acceptance: 15 June 2011 Final abstracts due: 1 August 2011 Early Registration deadline: 15 August 2011 **Special session on Logic, Information, and Agency chaired by Alexandru Baltag & Sonja Smets** We ask for submissions applying formal logical methods in a broad sense (including non-classical and modal logics, epistemic game theory, algebraic and categorical logic, probabilistic approaches etc) to reasoning about information and agency. Topics of interest include: * Modal Logics for Agency * Reasoning about higher-order knowledge or beliefs in Multi-agent Systems * Logics for Information Updates (learning, belief revision, theory change, conditioning etc.) * Logical approaches to strategies, preferences and rationality in Epistemic Game Theory * Logics for reasoning about protocols, planning and intentions.
