First Call For Papers
The Tbilisi Symposium on Language, Logic and Computation
--------------------------------------------------------
Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia
October 19-22, 1995
Host institution: Tbilisi State University
Dedicated to Solomon Dodashvili
In order to foster communication between researchers in the Republic of
Georgia and the international research community, the Georgian Centre for
Language and Speech, based at the Tbilisi State University, will host an
international symposium on language, logic and computation in 19-22, October
1995. The Tbilisi Symposium is anticipated to be the first of a regular
series.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
The Tbilisi Symposium will welcome papers on current research in all aspects
of language, logic and computation, including but not limited to:
* natural language semantics/pragmatics
* dynamic and modal logic
* quantified extensions of modal systems and intermediate logics:
semantical and computational aspects
* information oriented logical frameworks: domain
theory, linear logic, situation theory
* natural language parsing and generation
* machine translation and translation aids
* statistics and language processing
* automated deduction and logic programming
* lambda and combinatory calculi
* process algebra
* category theory in computer science

LOCATION:
The Republic of Georgia offers many singular attractions. Tbilisi is a
beautiful urban centre of Georgia, which is rich in architectural, historical,
and natural attractions. Tbilisi is easily accessible by plane from many major
European cities (e.g. several flights per week from Frankfurt, Istanbul,
Koeln, Paris, Prague, Thessaloniki, Vienna). There are also direct flights to
Tbilisi from Tel Aviv and Cairo.
SOLOMON DODASHVILI:
Solomon Dodashvili was a Professor at St. Petersburg University. He is the
author of a well-known tutorial book of logic, published by St. Petersburg
University in 1827. In 1995 Georgia will celebrate the 190th anniversary of his
birth. An excursion will be organised to the Kakheti region, where Dodashvili
was born.
