> Coordination and Action
> =======================
>
> Workshop at ESSLLI XIII (Helsinki) August 20th - 24th, 2001
> (http://www.lili.uni-bielefeld.de/~pkuehnle/HELSINKI)
>
>Background & Scope:
>===================
>Coordination is at present one of the most powerful explanatory
>devices used in various cognitive sciences (philosophy, psychology,
>linguistics, logics, AI). The original impetus came from philosophy,
>especially from D. Lewis' work on coordination and convention (Lewis,
>1969). Later on the concept gained considerable acceptance due to the
>work of the psychologist H. Clark and his collaborators (Clark (ed.),
>1992; Clark, 1996) who investigated various problems of language use,
>such as reference and agents' information states.
>
>They showed that multi-agent dialogue is based on coordination and
>joint action, grounding and mutual belief. These concepts rapidly
>found their way into dialogue theories based on discourse analysis or
>speech act theory. A slightly different perspective on coordination
>can be found in theories using the notion of dialogue game (Levin and
>Moore, 1978; Mann, 1988; Carletta et al., 1997; Ginzburg, 1997; Power,
>1979).
>
>Dialogue games are applied in a variety of research contexts, inter
>alia in the research initiatives VERBMOBIL (Germany) and TRINDI (UK,
>Germany, Sweden). The concept of dialogue games also stimulated
>reconstructions in more formal theories such as DRT (Lascarides &
>Asher, 1999; Poesio, 1998) or various forms of update semantics
>(Hulstijn, 2000). The notion of joint action received support from
>philosophy (e.g. Bratman (1992) on cooperativity, Searle (1990) on
>collective intention) and especially from the AI community working on
>shared plans in interaction (Grosz and collaborators, 1996). It was
>repeatedly taken up by logicians, especially those working on
>information states, mutuality or BDI-architectures (Fagin et al.,
>1995; Herzig and collaborators, 1999; Sadek, 1992). Research topics
>coming to the fore at present are coordination of information between
>different hierarchical levels of language and speech, a topic already
>discussed in H. Clark's work, and coordination of information coming
>from different channels (such as visual-gestural and verbal-auditory).
>Especially research with a multi-media objective contributed by
>linguistics, psychology and AI is of relevance in this context. The
>intention-based concept of coordination is also used in robotics and
>simulation work for agent-architectures combining high-level
>deliberative patterns with low-level reactive devices for which the
>well-known RoboCup setting provides a good example.
>
>Workshop format:
>================
>The workshop will be held on five subsequent days. Each session will
>consist of two talks plus discussion (30" + 15" each). The workshop
>language will be English.
>
>Submission guidelines:
>======================
>The organizers welcome contributions from different fields of
>Cognitive Science, especially from projects implementing
>interdisciplinary research strategies. Above all, masters students and
>PhD candidates are encouraged to submit contributions. For the
>abstracts, LaTeX, DVI, PostScript, Word, and PDF documents will be
>accepted. Please, send abstracts until Feb., 28th 2001 to
> p@uni-bielefeld.de
>For the final papers, we will accept LaTeX2e only. A LaTeX2e class will
>be provided in due time.
>
