ESSLLI-98 Workshop on
MUTUAL KNOWLEDGE, COMMON GROUND AND PUBLIC INFORMATION
August 24 - 28, 1998

A workshop held as part of the
10th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI-98)
August 17 - 28, 1998, Saarbrueken, Germany

** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS **

ORGANISERS: Wolfgang Heydrich and Hannes Rieser (Hamburg/Bielefeld)

Web site: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~esslli98/workshops.html

BACKGROUND
The topic of the workshop is in the common focus of several disciplines:
cognitive science, linguistic pragmatics & semantics, philosophical logic,
AI, and psychology. It concerns research in areas like discourse analysis,
coordination, presupposition and accomodation, as well as the formal
reconstruction of dialogue and interaction. There are obvious connections
to problems of group-epistemology and general (philosophical) concepts like
intersubjectivity. The topic constitutes a field of discussion where
empirical and formal methodologies meet (from controlled experiments and
discourse analysis to, say, non-well-founded set theory).

We invite contributions from all the fields mentioned above, which may
focus on:

- foundational problems (epistemic logic, social ontology, set theory),
- descriptive and experimental work in psychology, linguistics and
ethnomethodology,
- applications in models of agent's behaviour based on e.g., intention
analysis, Gricean accounts or speech act theory,
- computer simulation implementing the concepts mentioned.

WORKSHOP FORMAT:
The workshop will consist of five sessions (90 min. each) of presentation
and discussion of contributed papers. It will take place during the second
week of the Summer School and will be open to all members of the LLI
community.

SUBMISSIONS:
All reserchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young
reserachers, are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract (hard copies or
