ANNOUNCING
10TH ANNUAL SEMANTICS FEST
on Friday and Saturday, March 13-14, 2009, ALL DAY
Stanford
"The Construction of Meaning"
The Construction of Meaning Workshop is pleased to sponsor the Tenth
Annual Stanford Semantics Fest. We will celebrate this milestone by
making the Semantics Fest a two-day event, which will include
presentations by Construction of Meaning Workshop alumni as well as
current participants.
The Semantics Fest is intended to promote discussion and collaboration
among all those in the Stanford community interested in the semantics
and pragmatics of natural language, as well as their interface with
other modules of grammar. We encourage contributions from all those
who are participants in the Construction of Meaning Workshop or
members of the Stanford community who share these interests.
Abstracts are invited for 20 minute talks (plus 10 minutes discussion)
on any topic touching on semantics and pragmatics in natural language.
All abstracts should be submitted as plain text or pdf in 12 point
font and be no more than 1 page long; a second page may include
references. Abstracts are due by 5pm on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6th.
All submissions should be emailed to sven.lauer .. stanford.edu.
Notification of acceptance will be made about two weeks later.
Additional information about Workshop events, including a preliminary
listing of Spring Quarter events is posted on the workshop's web site:
http://www-linguistics.stanford.edu/semgroup/
Many future announcements will only be made to the workshop's mailing

ANNOUNCING
OPENPROOF DAY
on Friday, March 27, 2009, ALL DAY
CSLI, Cordura Hall room 100
"A day of events on Logic Education,
Heterogeneous Reasoning and Educational Data Mining"
http://ggww2.stanford.edu/GUS/openproof/openproofday2009.jsp
Openproof Day is a day of events presenting the work of CSLI's
Openproof Project. Since the early 1980's we have been developing
innovative and effective courseware packages for logic education such
as Tarski's World, Turing's World, Hyperproof and Language, Proof and
Logic. This work has led us to research in heterogeneous reasoning,
and education data mining. Topics will include:
- Existing courseware packages including plans for future improvements
John Etchemendy and Dave Barker-Plummer (CSLI, Stanford)
- Kripke's World, a new courseware package for teaching modal logic
Eric Pacuit (Stanford),
- Recent research in data mining student work in logic
Richard Cox (University of Sussex),
- Panel discussion on the use of the Language, Proof and Logic
courseware packages
S. Marc Cohen (University of Washington),
Holly Groover (University of South Carolina),
Cindy Stern (California State University, Northridge)
Attendance is free and open to the public. Please let us know in
advance if you plan to attend by sending mail to dbp@stanford.edu.
Additional information will be posted on the web site (URL above)
as it becomes available.
