Apologies to those of you who receive multiple copies ESSLLI-98 Workshop on MUTUAL KNOWLEDGE, COMMON GROUND AND PUBLIC INFORMATION August 24 - 28, 1998 A workshop held as part of the 10th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI-98) August 17 - 28, 1998, Saarbrueken, Germany ** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ** ORGANISERS: Wolfgang Heydrich and Hannes Rieser (Hamburg/Bielefeld) Web site: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~esslli98/workshops.html BACKGROUND The topic of the workshop is in the common focus of several disciplines: cognitive science, linguistic pragmatics & semantics, philosophical logic, AI, and psychology. It concerns research in areas like discourse analysis, coordination, presupposition and accomodation, as well as the formal reconstruction of dialogue and interaction. There are obvious connections to problems of group-epistemology and general (philosophical) concepts like intersubjectivity. The topic constitutes a field of discussion where empirical and formal methodologies meet (from controlled experiments and discourse analysis to, say, non-well-founded set theory). We invite contributions from all the fields mentioned above, which may focus on: - foundational problems (epistemic logic, social ontology, set theory), - descriptive and experimental work in psychology, linguistics and ethnomethodology, - applications in models of agent's behaviour based on e.g., intention analysis, Gricean accounts or speech act theory, - computer simulation implementing the concepts mentioned. WORKSHOP FORMAT: The workshop will consist of five sessions (90 min. each) of presentation and discussion of contributed papers. It will take place during the second week of the Summer School and will be open to all members of the LLI community. SUBMISSIONS: All reserchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young reserachers, are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract (hard copies or by e-mail) to one of the following addresses: Prof.Dr. Hannes Rieser PD Dr. Wolfgang Heydrich University of Bielefeld University of Hamburg Fak.
