The special focus of this year is: Cognition and Collective Intentionality "Mental Prerequisites and Attitudes for Collective Intentionality: Philosophical, Logical, Computational, Neural and Psychological Models". Philosophers, cognitive and social scientists are encouraged to submit papers on any aspect of the theme but also in general on the concept and theory of collective intentionality. The term "collective intentionality" is understood to refer not only to phenomena such as joint intention and commitment, mutual belief, we-attitudes, collective acceptance and agreement, collective responsibility, but it is also taken to cover collective action, social practices as well as social institutions and organizations. Theme This year special focus is aimed at exploring relationships between individual mental representations and states and collective intentional states. Different perspectives and methodologies are encouraged; ranging from neural to psychological, computational (both AI and Alife-oriented), philosophical and logical ones (included formal ontology). Collective Intentionality and Collective joint mental states or activities exhibit collective intentionality or "aboutness". The contents of those mental states and activities are supposed to be shared by a group of people. Typical examples of collective intentionality are presented by joint intentions and mutual beliefs. People may share collective intentional states or they may take others' thoughts and actions into account when acting. CollIntIV topics and possible questions are (but are not restricted to) the following: - Individual cognition and collective intentionality What are the mental individual ingredients of acceptance, agreement, joint commitment? Which are the relationships with individual beliefs, motives, intentions, commitments, powers, obligations? What are the motivational or epistemic prerequisites for joining collective intentional states? - Social cognition and collective intentionality Are there necessary specific epistemic rules based for example on empathy, conformity, imitation, authority, etc.? Should the members of a joint act have a specific motivational structure, for example: group identity and the feeling of membership? Or the representation of a collective interest distinct from the personal egocentric utility? Can a group of animals exhibit collective intentionality? Is a theory of mind necessary to attribute intentional attitudes to collective entity? If so, how should it be implemented? - Distributed cognition and collective intentionality What is the relation between the "extended mind" and the collective intentionality of groups? How can other minds scaffold the individual one? Is the extended mind only in external object and technologies and symbols or can be extended to social interactions and relations? Are collectivities themselves intentional agents? - Normativity and collective intentionality What is the relationship between collective intentionality and normativity? Are entitled expectations, prescriptions, commitments and duties building blocks of joint intending? Should we necessarily characterise a 'role' within a joint plan or in a group in deontic terms? Are conventions based upon collective acceptance and/or collective acceptance built on conventions? And are conventions just a structure of expectations or do they contain deontic constituents? Which are the cognitive and social prerequisites for prescriptions, permissions, prohibitions? Part of the conference will be devoted to the crucial issue of the special conventional nature of institutional acts and functions: the so called "Counts As" relation. Both issues are relevant: - how a collective acceptance is presupposed by the "Counts As" effect; - how this is implemented in the mental representations and consequent behaviours of the participants. A Panel on the "Counts as" subject will conclude the Conference.

Social simulation as an interdisciplinary research area deals with problems that benefits to both communities. It benefits to computer scientists by bringing new problems to challenge, dealing with complex adaptive systems that may imply new methods, tools or techniques to be developed. But it benefits also to social scientists by bringing a new support to sustain a new point of view on the social systems to understand them. This session will be the opportunity for both communities to present their work in an interdisciplinary atmosphere and have fruitful interactions. ---------------------------------- 20031130 INFORMS Winter Simulation Conference 20041205 20041208 httphttp://www.informs.org USA DC Washington 20031130 The Fourth Asia Academy of Management Conference 20041216 20041218 20040530 http://www.baf.cuhk.edu.hk/asia-aom/Call-for-Paper(2004).htm China Shanghai 20031130 MBR '04 - MODEL-BASED REASONING IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ABDUCTION, VISUALIZATION, AND SIMULATION 20041216 20041218 20040501 20040830 20050215 20041015 http://www.unipv.it/webphilos_lab/courses/progra1.html Italy Pavia 20031130 E-living Results Conference 20040120 20040121 http://www.eurescom.de/e-living/conf.htm Germany Essen 20031130 PEPP - LAST DAY OF TERM 20031212 20031212 20031130 Check out Sante fe summerschool 20031215 20031215 20031130 NIKITA - last School Day- until 5 Jan 20031219 20031219 20031130 Mom & Nikita to Kuching15:30 flight 20031220 20031220 20031130 check Wolfram summer school 20040102 20040102 20031130 Mon & Nikita Return Arr:14:30 20040103 20040103 20031130 NIKITA Start school 20040105 20040105 20031130 CHECK for ausie/NZ sys dynamics 2004 conf 20040106 20040106 20031130 CHECK ingaming conf Oct wash dc 20040107 20040107 20031130 PEPP Lima's in MTY 20040108 20040115 20031130 CHECK websim MIT complexity workshop PEPP Lima's in MTY 20040112 20040112 20031130 blood test this week 20040112 20040116 20031130 CHECK netlogo july workshop - july 11 - seefor details 20040117 20040117 20031130 Check out July Summerschool 20040119 20040120 20031130 DOCTOR & EYE(dr. lee)APPT 9:30 & 10:00 20040120 20040120 20031130 Check out July Summer school 20040121 20040130 20031130 NIKITA - No School 20040121 20040127 20031130 Document monthly donegoals 20040201 20041201 20031130 CHECK - australiamathematical psychology conf Syndey - Novemberish 20040202 20040202 20031130 PEPP Lima's in Montreal 20040325 20040402 20031130 NIKITA - school end 12:00late day until 14 april 20040331 20040331 20031130 Nikita - no school 20040401 20040413 20031130 Nikita - no school 20040325 20040402 20031130 PEPP Lima's in Montreal 20040325 20040402 20031130 NIKITA resume school 20040414 20040414 20031130 NIKITA - no School 20040526 20040526 20031130 PEPP Lima's in LA 20040610 20040618 20031130 Nikita - no School 20040622 20040622 20031130 NIKITA - last day end12:00 20040630 20040630 20031130 want PEPPERDINE WALK DAY 20040710 20040710 20031130 Nikita - START SCHOOL 20040901 20040901 20031130 The X International Conference of the Academy of Business & Administrative Sciences (ABAS) 20040612 20040614 20040301 20040501 20040601 http://www.sba.muohio.edu/abas/ Royal Plaza Hotel Switzerland Montreux Montreux is spectacularly located on the Swiss Riviera and is about 90 km from Geneva airport and 25 Km from Lausanne 20031201 The XI International Conference of the Academy of Business & Administrative Sciences (ABAS) 20040703 20040705 20040301 20040501 20040601 http://www.sba.muohio.edu/abas/ Hotel Danube Slovak Republic Bratislava 20031201 The XII International Conference of the Academy of Business & Administrative Sciences (ABAS) 20040716 20040718 20040301 20040501 20040601 http://www.sba.muohio.edu/abas/ Reval Hotel Olümpia Estonia Tallinn 20031201 Introductory Workshop to Network Analysis of Texts 20040202 20040205 Institute of Economics and Business Administration- Technical University of Lisbon Portugal Lisbon ***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ ***** Introductory Workshop to Network Analysis of Texts Announcement Date: 2nd to 5th February 2004 Place: Lisbon, Portugal in ISEG (Institute of Economics and Business Administration- Technical University of Lisbon) Organization: SOCIUS (Research Centre on Economic Sociology and the Sociology of Organisations) Professor: Vladimir Batagelj (University of Ljubliana, Slovenia) – http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/ Objective: Familiarise the participants with the main concepts, methods and applications of network analysis of text and to teach the basic tools to conduct such an analysis. Description: Different ways to derive networks from textual data and an overview of applications of network analysis to the analysis of text will be presented. Examples of analyses of different text networks will be given as illustrations: bibliographic networks (for instance authors collaboration networks and citation networks), dictionary networks (Foldoc, Odlis, EAT, Wordnet, etc.) text analysis networks, which through natural language processing and network analysis techniques produces abstract representations of texts (ex: analysis of news concerning terrorist attacks, KEDS). The course will also have a strong focus on visualisation of these networks. Program: Monday to Thursday – theory: 9.30 - 13h ; practice: 14.30-17h Content of the course: Day 1. Introduction to graphs, networks and Pajek. Obtaining networks from textual data. Day 2. Structure of networks (statistical characteristics, components, cores, islands, ...) Day 3. Important elements in networks (indices and weights). Acyclic networks. Day 4. Clustering and blockmodeling. Patterns searching. In the afternoon the concepts from the morning lectures will be applied in the analysis of real-life networks obtained from textual data. The software utilised will be PAJEK, a program for large network analysis and visualisation (freely available at http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/pajek ) Maximum number of participants: 22 Cost: 250€ (50% reduction for fulltime students).

The conference, which forms part of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) research project (RES-328-25-0012), funded through the People at the Centre of Communication and Information Technology (PACCIT) research programme, is intended to act as a catalyst for creating communication and knowledge linkages between those involved in community networking. In order to create synergy and understanding between practitioners, researchers and policy, it is important that knowledge of the issues and problems surrounding community networking be identified, articulated, recorded and shared in the form of a dynamic and ongoing community networking knowledgebase. To this end the conference welcomes contributions from practitioners, researchers and policy-makers in the following areas: . Community networking case studies . Community network analysis as a methodology and theory . Community Informatics as an emerging research agenda . The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and the role Of Civil Society . Communication and Development - theory and practice . A human-centred approach to community technology - moving beyond causality to purposiveness . Indigenous knowledge and cultural diversity . Grass-roots community innovation and action These subjects are timely because in addition to the recent World Summit on the Information Society event in Geneva, the period between March and September, 2004 will see a number of important conferences taking place on the subject of community network or related areas. The Canadian Research Alliance for Community Information Networks (CRACIN) will be launched in the form of an International Workshop in May, 2004. The eighth biennial Participatory Design Conference will be held between July 27-31, 2004 at the University of Toronto, Canada and will have a strong community networking component. The second international colloquium of the Community Informatics Research Network (CIRN) is being convened in Prato, Italy at the end of September. The Brighton conference provides an excellent opportunity for community networkers - researchers, practitioners and policy makers alike - to establish links and share experiences and knowledge with people, groups and organisations engaged in the excitingly diverse activities that constitute community networking. We are looking to bring together researchers, practitioners and policymakers to discuss/summarize/theorize/and draw conclusions or lessons learned from some ten years of practical work and research experience in applying information and communications technology to enabling and empowering communities of all kinds. Our conference will also provide an opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers to reflect on and draw conclusions from a range of currently relevant areas, fields and practices. A conference website will be developed early in the New Year. Submissions for this conference can take the form of extended abstracts, position papers or full papers.

In order to manifest our respect for this equation, and most of all its multidisciplinary aspects , and in fine commemorate Verhulst 200th birthday, several of us organize a small workshop/symposium in Brussels on Sept.15-19, 2004. It will be limited to 200 participants. Knowing your wide interest in science, I'd like you very much to attend the meeting and present a paper on your research related to the logistic (or any other) map, bifurcations or chaos, - anything related will be of interest and will be great. I am sure that you will attract attention whence meet old friends and make new friends in such a science. That will mean progress and development, - exactly what Verhulst cared about. 20031221 Society for Mathematical Psychology - 2004 Annual Meeting 20040729 20040801 20040401 20040401 http://www.cogs.indiana.edu/socmathpsych/ University of Michigan USA MI Ann Arbor 20031221 5th International Conference of Sociocybernetics - ISA - International Sociological Association Social Knowledge for the Contemporary World 20040726 20040731 20040331 http://www.unizar.es/sociocybernetics/indice.html Universidade Nova de Lisboa Portugal Lisbon 20031221 20040000 20040000 20031200
