Or indeed could you help distributing the call for papers below? Thanks in advance, Kristóf *** ********************************************************************** Call for papers One-day conference in Budapest on THE SOCIAL SCIENCE OF MOBILE LEARNING, Friday November 29, 2002 Organized by the Institute for Philosophical Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and WESTEL Mobile Telecommunications (Hungary). Handheld devices are emerging as one of the most promising technologies for supporting learning and particularly collaborative learning scenarios; mainly because they offer new opportunities for individuals who require mobile computer solutions that other devices can not provide. Recently, a considerable number of researchers claim that mobile computing can potentially enable students to share information, coordinate their tasks and, more broadly, function effectively in collaborative settings. The major challenge is not simply to provide novel mobile and wireless computational tools, but rather to explore new and varied educational activities that become available while applying innovative approaches for designing a new kind of educational technologies. The aim of this one-day conference is to bring together educational researchers, social scientists and technologists in order to discuss the impact of these new technologies in education and their implications for the future of learning. The topics of interest related to the conference theme include but are not limited to: * M-learning and educational theory * The cognitive psychology of m-learning * The construction of meaning in mobile discourse * Ubiquitous computing and integrated learning environment * Pilot m-learning projects Abstracts (350 to 700 words) should be submitted to Kristóf Nyíri <nyiri(a)phil-inst.hu>. Important dates: September 30, 2002 Deadline for applications and the submitting of abstracts October 15, 2002 Notification of participation Keynote Speaker: Marcelo Milrad, School of Mathematics and Systems Engineering Växjö University, Sweden. Registration fee: $ 50. This includes refreshments, coffee and sandwiches, and an evening wine and cheese party. Participants will receive the published version of the proceedings of the conference, which will appear by January 2003. Contact: Professor Kristóf Nyíri Director, Institute for Philosophical Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences nyiri(a)phil-inst.hu The conference is part of the two-day event PHILOSOPHY, PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATION.

Science & Consciousness Review - latest news and reviews

by Thomas Zoëga Ramsøy

Dear member of this list, Science & Consciousness Review (http://psych.pomona.edu/scr/) has released new articles and reviews: _____________________ EDITORIAL IDA on Will: Its no Illusion - by Stan Franklin "The issue of free will is perhaps the most oft debated single issue in the history of philosophy. Whether philosophers or scientists, most modern materialists, believe the universe, at scales beyond the quantum, is deterministic. This leads them to class free will with magic. Its only an illusion." Counter to this notion, Professor Franklin here argues that free will is indeed more than an illusion. Drawing upon evidence from both artificial intelligence and neurophysiology, Franklin makes a valid case against what he sees as a "magical free will" notion. Read the full article at: http://psych.pomona.edu/scr/ED_Sep02_IDAFreeWill.htm _____________________ NEWS IN BRIEF - FREE: Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences - The neurophysics of consciousness - The cognitive neuroscience of sleep - Olfactory coding: precise timing - The unconscious you may be the wiser half - Mike or me? Self-recognition in the split-brain - All about Me: Left brain may shine spotlight on self - Attention and emotion - different brain systems - New reviews of consciousness books Full access at http://psych.pomona.edu/scr/more_news.html _____________________ ARCHIVES Previous issues of Science & Consciousness Review can be found at http://psych.pomona.edu/scr/archive.html We have now issues from April to August 2002, including all articles, reviews and news in brief. _____________________ ABOUT SCIENCE & CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW SCR is a community-building effort. Many scientific communities study how the human brain makes possible perception, memory, and even attention. But for historical reasons, we have no scientific community for exploring consciousness --- including our own experiences of the world, of each other and of ourselves. It is probably the most important neglected topic in science. Students and scientists all over the world are vitally interested. Hardly a week goes by without another major article in headline journals like Science and Nature. The flow of evidence has increased enormously. But so far we have few institutional resources for teaching, learning, and sharing this information. In the last decade we have seen new, high quality journals, professional societies, and regular meetings. They are vitally important. But many people feel that we need an international forum to build a sense of shared community. SCR is an effort in that direction. CONTRIBUTE! Please send your contributions to us.

Second CFP: CONTEXT'03, the Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context

by Roberta Ferrario

============================================================== We apologize for multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================== Second Call for Papers +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | CONTEXT'03 | | | | Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on | | Modeling and Using Context | | | | Stanford, California (USA) | | June 18-20, 2003 | | | | (www.context.umcs.maine.edu/CONTEXT-03) | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ The Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context, will provide a high-quality forum for discussions about context among researchers active in artificial intelligence and other areas of computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, the organizational sciences, philosophy, and psychology. Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as well as in artificial agents and other computer programs. The importance of context is widely acknowledged, and "context" has become an area of study in its own right, as evidenced by the numerous workshops, symposia, seminars, and conferences held recently. CONTEXT, the oldest conference series focusing on context, is unique due to its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research. Previous CONTEXT conferences have been held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CONTEXT'97), Trento, Italy (CONTEXT'99), and Dundee, Scotland (CONTEXT'01). Each of these brought together researchers in many disparate fields to discuss and report on research on context-related topics. The proceedings of CONTEXT'03 will be published in a Lecture Notes series (http://www.springer.de/comp/lnai) of Springer-Verlag, as were those of previous CONTEXT conferences. TOPICS OF INTEREST To guide potential submissions, a representative sampling of topics of interest for CONTEXT'03 are as follows (in alphabetical order). This is not an exhaustive list, and other contributions are welcome, although all submissions must have a focus on context. Analogy and Case-based Reasoning Autonomous Agents and Agent-based Systems Cognitive Modeling Commonsense Reasoning Context Issues in Databases Context-aware Applications Contextual Effects on Language Contextual Effects on Problem-solving, Understanding and Production Decision-making, and Categorization Decision Support and Expert Systems Distributed Information Systems Formal Theories of Context Heterogeneous Information Integration Human-Computer Interaction Information Management Intelligent Tutoring Systems Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems Interagent Communication Knowledge Engineering and Management Knowledge Representation Machine Learning Multiagent Systems Natural Language Processing Neuroscience and Context Organizational Theory and Design Philosophical Foundations SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Since CONTEXT'03 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions, in addition to being evaluated for their technical merit, will be evaluated for their accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged. Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for presentation at a poster session. Each submission will be evaluated by three referees. Complete formatting requirements and detailed instructions for authors can be found on the conference Web page. Note that papers cannot be longer than 14 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically--no hardcopy submissions will be accepted without prior approval from the Program Co-Chairs well in advance of the submission deadline. LaTeX and Word templates are available at the conference Web page. Papers must be in PDF format. See the conference Web page for instructions on converting to this format from Word, LaTeX, etc. Submitted papers should be received by the Program Co-Chairs no later than January 6, 2003. The conference Web page contains instructions for submitting papers electronically.
