Call for Papers
   
1. Scope and Topics of the Session
 
This session covers broad spectrum of practical and theoretical problems related to the phenomenon of semantic communication in populations of artificial and natural agents with special emphasis on the case of populations of cognitive agents. Such populations can consist of software and/or embodied robots, artificial and natural cognitive agents, humans, as well as communities of virtual or natural insects. Effective semantic communication is very important for these cases of applied artificial systems where in-built ability to interact and communicate with human end-users is needed for their proper functioning.
 
Semantic communication is a very complex and originally social process that involves multiple stages of content (knowledge) processing. Various models for particular steps of this content-directed and communication – oriented processing have already been proposed. In many cases they are competing models. However, all of them capture multiple aspects of socially-based transfer of meaning between artificial and/or natural members of populations, and describe this transfer from different perspectives and at various levels of conceptualization.
 
General topics for the session are set up to answer the following questions:
- How the content to be communicated is collected, stored in and extracted from knowledge bases managed by members of artificial and natural populations?
- What communication languages are used to carry the meaning between members of artificial and natural populations?
- How the meaning is developed and bound to semantic communication languages used by artificial and natural populations?
 
The above general topics consist of many detailed research sub-problems. Some examples are:
a. models for intelligent and cognitive systems capable of carrying semantic communication,
b. approaches to extraction of linguistic representations from embodied (private) or external (common) knowledge bases of various types,
c. syntax, semantics and pragmatics for semantic communication languages,
d. symbol grounding and symbol anchoring problem in artificial and natural populations,
e. semiosis (symbol meaning creation) in artificial and natural population of intelligent communicative agents
f. ontologies, commitments and protocols for semantic communication,
g. applications of machine learning and knowledge mining techniques to implementations of semantic communication in artificial populations,
h. human – robot and human – artificial agent interaction
i. natural language processing, semi-natural language interfaces,
j. practical implementations of communicative agents (e.g. BDI architectures with semantic communication possibilities, semantic communication implemented with JADE)
etc.
 
The session organizers cordially invite potential authors to submit their original papers on the above and related topics.
