CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Fifth International Workshop on the
Language-Action Perspective on Communication Modelling
-- LAP 2000 --
14 - 16 September 2000, Aachen, Germany
20 years of Language-Action Perspective:
Time to look back - time to move forward
http://www-i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/conf/lap2000/
Information technology has seen radical changes in the last two
decades with systems to support cooperation and communication
playing an ever-increasing role. In today's society,
communication is present in many different facets,
e.g. face-to-face dialogues, telephone conversations,
email messages, information exchanges of agents,
or negotiation in Electronic Commerce.
Communication is the key to smooth cooperation. Individuals
working in groups coordinate their actions through communication.
The modelling of these communication aspects has been studied for
more than two decades. Since 1980 a new paradigm has evolved in
the field of information systems which emphasises the importance
of communication in an organisational context:
The Language-Action Perspective (LAP) which argues that language is
not only used for exchanging information as in reports, statements
etc. but also to perform actions, e.g. promises, orders, declarations.
The LAP approach states that as social action is mediated through
communication, one of the main roles of an information system should
be to support intra- and inter-organisational communication.
This year's LAP workshop provides an interesting programme and a
good mixture of areas in which research related to the above
statements is being conducted, e.g. knowledge management,
business process modelling, computer-supported cooperative work, and
formal methods. The invited talk by Ronald Stamper (Emeritus
Professor of Information Management, University of Twente, The
Netherlands) will focus on the relation between semantics and
communication acts.
Further information including registration can be found on the
web page (http://www-i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/conf/lap2000).
