AMiLP-3 Third AMAST Workshop on Algebraic Methods in Language Processing Verona, Italy, 25-27 August 2003 http://www.di.univr.it/amilp3 http://www.sci.univr.it/amilp3 First Announcement and Call for Papers AIMS AND SCOPE. The Third AMAST Workshop on Algebraic Methods in Language Processing, AMiLP-3, is aimed at collecting state-of-art approaches and results in formal language theory, programming language theory and natural language theory. Like its predecessors, held in 1995 at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, and in 2000 at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, USA, the workshop is organized jointly within the Twente Workshop in Language Processing (TWLT) series. TOPICS. Research contributions are sought in all aforementioned areas of language theory, as well as other areas of language theory and language processing, including, but not limited to: formal specification and analysis, relational and higher-order languages and calculi, man-machine interaction languages, graphic and visual languages, dialogue modeling, language translation, languages for concurrent and mobile computing, new and emerging specification and programming paradigms. A common feature of work relevant to the workshop is the use of mathematical concepts, in particular the use of an algebraic approach. Due to this, traditional boundaries between the areas may disappear, allowing researchers to learn from areas that were uncommon to them before. SUBMISSIONS. Papers are sought describing original research work, even if in progress or under tentative approaches. Initially we ask you to submit a max. 4-page extended abstract. These contributions will be evaluated by the Program Committee and selected on basis of originality, significance, and relevance to the workshop aims. Authors of accepted contributions will have the opportunity to expand them to a max. 15-page full paper, for inclusion in the proceedings of the workshop. Contributions are to be submitted electronically, in PDF or printable PostScript format, either through the workshop website or by e-mail (to either PC Chair or to the PC Secretary, see below). IMPORTANT DATES. Abstract submission: 14 March, 2003 Notification: 14 April, 2003 Full version: 11 July, 2003 Early registration: 25 July, 2003 AMiLP-3 workshop: 25-27 August, 2003 PROCEEDINGS. There will be a participants' proceedings volume in the TWLT series published by the University of Twente, containing the full papers, which will be made available at the workshop. For previous volumes in the series see URL: http://parlevink.cs.utwente.nl/Conferences/twltseries.html If there will be enough contributions of sufficiently high quality, a selection of the presented papers will be considered for publication in a journal special issue, as it happened with the previous editions of the workshop.
