                  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
  
                  Second Conference on 
        Information-Theoretic Approaches to Logic, 
                Language, and Computation 
                         
 
                Regent's College,  London. 
                     18-21 July, 1996  
   
 Growing out of the series of meetings on Situation Theory and its 
 Applications, the conference has broadened to include work on a 
 wide range of foundational and applied issues on information.  The 
 aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from such 
 fields as Computing, Linguistics, Logic, Philosophy and the Social 
 Sciences.  The themes of the conference include formal approaches 
 to information and meaning, as well as applications in a number of 
 relevant areas.   Information about invited speakers and registration
 will be made available later this summer.
 
 In addition to the conference, there will be an instructional 
 workshop from 17-20 July.  The workshop will include tutorial 
 introductions to several of the topics of the conference.
   
 We solicit papers on the following topics:
 
   * Philosophical foundations of information, and
     information-based computation.
   * Applications of situation theory to the social sciences.
   * Visual logical systems and programming languages.
   * Mathematical foundations of the theory of information.
   * Formal theories of pragmatics and discourse.
   
 Papers on related subjects will also be considered.
  
 SUBMISSIONS: authors are invited to submit a detailed abstract of 
 a full paper of at most 10 pages by e-mail to 
    
                   ITALLC96@cs.indiana.edu

 (using `ITALLC96 Submission' as the subject line).  The cover page 
 should include title, authors and the coordinates of the corresponding
 author. Submissions in LaTeX are encouraged. 
 The deadline for submissions is January 1, 1996.  
 Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 1, 1996.  
 The accepted papers will appear on a World Wide Web server.  
 We anticipate publishing a volume of proceedings.

 Future information will also be posted on:
