INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOLS 
IN PHILOSOPHY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
BOLZANO/BOZEN - ITALY
==============================================================================

July 6-10, 1992
Philosophy of Language

Since the beginning of the century, philosophy of language has played a
major role in philosophical analysis. The two most important
philosophical movements - analytic philosophy and phenomenology - share
a common interest in questions concerning language, meaning, reference,
context and situation. In order to analyse such concepts, logic and
formal semantics are some of the tools mainly used form the analytic
side. On the other side, analysis of the genesis of concepts and of the
different layers that compose them are fundamental aspects of the
phenomenological perspective. The aim of this school is to examine, in
connection with the analysis of language, both the affinities and the
incompatible features, if any, of these two philosophical movements.

July 13-17, 1992
Temporal Reasoning

The school will be devoted to advanced aspects of temporal reasoning, a
theme that is receiving increased attention in the Artificial
Intelligence community. Many practical problems require an artificial
system to be able to reason about events, duration, actions collocated
in time and so on. On the other hand the problems related to our
understandig of time are typical cases where Artificial Intelligence
connects with the world of formal philosophy (e.g. first order temporal
logics, non-monotonic logics, modal logics). The present school is
intended to give an indepth view of several different approaches to
temporal reasoning, presented by some of the most respected researchers
in this area, and will give an opportunity for AI scholars and students
to discuss with them.
