ESSLLI 2006 ESSLLI 2006 ESSLLI 2006 ESSLLI 2006 ESSLLI 2006 ESSLLI 2006 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 18TH EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL OF LOGIC, LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION July 31 - August 11, 2006 Malaga, Spain (Extended Early registration deadline: May 14, 2006) ESSLLI 2006 is organized by the Software Engineering Group of the University of Malaga, under the auspices of FoLLI, the European Association for Logic, Language and Information. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students, researchers and IT professionals interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. The 18th edition of ESSLLI is offering 48 courses, organized into three interdisciplinary areas (Language & Computation, Language & Logic, and Logic & Computation), at a variety of levels (foundational, introductory, advanced), as well as seven workshops. All the information may be found at: http://esslli2006.lcc.uma.es Foundational courses aim to provide truly introductory courses into a field. The courses presuppose absolutely no background knowledge. In particular, they should be accessible to people from other disciplines. Introductory courses are intended to equip students and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic methods and techniques, and to allow experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key competences of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the development of a truly interdisciplinary research community. Advanced courses are intended to enable participants to acquire more specialized knowledge about topics they are already familiar with. Workshops are intended to encourage collaboration and the cross-fertilization of ideas by stimulating in-depth discussion of issues which are at the forefront of current research in the field. In these workshops, students and researchers can give presentations of their research. In addition to courses and workshops a student session is being also organized, with the aim of providing Masters and PhD students with an opportunity to present their own work to a professional audience, thereby getting informed feedback on their own results. Unlike workshops, the student session is not tied to any specific theme. If you are interested in presenting a paper to any of the ESSLLI workshops, you can access to their call for papers through the following link http://esslli2006.lcc.uma.es. The early (extended) registration deadline is May 14, 2006.
