Miguel island, Azores, Portugal, in 2004, on the 23-24th September. The programme of DAARC2004 includes 2 invited talks, by Tony Sanford and Amit Bagga, and 30 contributed presentations, which reflect the most recent advances of the work on anaphora, ranging from theoretical linguistic approaches through psycholinguistic and cognitive work to computational modelling of anaphor resolution.

The strangest part is, we can't even find it in the ACT-R users archives. We all know there is a long tradition of John and Lynne generously sponsoring celebrations of various sorts (summer school parties, birthday parties), with lab members (mostly grad students and post-docs) helping with the planning and logistics of those celebrations. Certainly the current lab members must have stepped up for this exceptional occasion. So, could someone involved in the planning please (re)send an email describing the progress that has been made on putting this event together? When is it? Where is it? Will there be mimes?

Therefore, please reply to this e-mail if: a) You were not available Saturday, but would like to come to such an event on Thursday. b) You were available Saturday, but are not available on Thursday. c) You have not responded yet at all (please indicate which nights you are available). If you were available Saturday and already responded, you do not need to reply again unless Thursday doesn't work. I will assume Thursday works for you if you already replied for Saturday and I do not hear from you again. Looking forward to seeing you all, Phil Philip I.

Early registration deadlines (hotel and conference) are coming up: July 24 and July 31! We hope to see you in beautiful Boston! (And, as usual, we apologize if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail.) ************************ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ************************** MobiQuitous 2004 The First Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Service http://mobiquitous.org/ August 22-26, 2004, Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, Massachusetts USA Held in cooperation with AAAI, IEEE Computer Society, ACM SIGMOBILE and the European Union IST program ************************************************************************** MobiQuitous 2004 is the first of a series of annual conferences focusing on the latest research in the rapidly growing area of mobile and ubiquitous computing. The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both, may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless networking technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. The First Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Services will cover all these aspects, representing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact, exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include: applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, knowledge management and databases. KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Prof. Mahadev Satyanarayanan, Carnagie Mellon University. "Seamless Mobility on Ubiquitous Hardware." INVITED SPEAKER: Dr. Hamid Ahmadi, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. "Intelligent Service Oriented Networking Paradigm." TECHNICAL PROGRAM: 47 papers have been accepted for presentation and for publication in the conference proceedings. The advance program can be found online at the conference web page. TUTORIALS AND PANELS: Four half-day tutorials (Security in public wireless networks, Location discovery in ubiquitous computing and sensor networks, Ontologies and semantic web for mobile and pervasive computing, and Energy conservation in ad hoc networks) and three panels (featuring topics such as the state-of-the-art and the potential for future developments in mobile and ubiquitous computing, and the mobile/ubiquitous computing security) will complement the technical program. WORKSHOPS: A-SWAN Workshop (AlgorithmS for Wireless And mobile Networks), P2PKM 2004 Workshop (The First International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management), PSPT 2004 Workshop (First Workshop on Pervasive Security, Privacy and Trust), SANPA 2004 Workshop (Second International Workshop on Sensor and Actor Network Protocols and Applications) will be held in conjunction with the main conference. DEMOS: The demo sessions will include more than a dozen demonstrations featuring technologies that enable the wired and wireless networking infrastructure for ubiquitous computing along with applications that showcase novel user experiences in environments of complex but invisible computing infrastructure. VENUE: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) at 5 Cambridge Parkway, Cambridge, MA 02142-1299 for Conference participants. Please make your hotel arrangements early in order to insure getting a room at the special conference rate. If making your reservations by phone, you will need to mention that you are a participant of the ?MobiQuitous Conference? to receive the special, discounted conference price ($139 for a single or double room). Individuals can make their reservations by calling the Sonesta reservations department at +1-617-806-4200.
