The first conference (ICML'93) took place in Tarragona on March 30-31, 1993. A derived volume has been published: C. Martin-Vide (ed.), Current Issues in Mathematical Linguistics. North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1994. Topics will be grouped into five sections: 1. Foundations and methodological considerations. 2. Mathematical models for syntax. 3. Mathematical models for semantics. 4. Applications in natural language processing. 5. Varia (phonology, computational complexity, learning, quantitative methods, etc.). The language of the conference is English. Organizing Committee Carlos Martin-Vide (Chairman, Tarragona) Joan Busquets (Austin) Rosa Maria Hidalgo (Tarragona) Joan Miquel (Barcelona) Rudolf Ortega (Tarragona) Jesus Vidal (Austin) Lectures They can be invited plenary 1-hour lectures and free possibly parallel 30 minutes lectures. The travel and accommodation of invited speakers will be paid by the Organizing Committee. The distribution into both categories will take into account the relative value of each paper and the budgetary resources. Interested people are invited to submit papers: By surface mail, or Electronically, as either an unformatted (plain text) ASCII file or as a LaTeX file. They should send one copy of a camera-ready 2-columns abstract of not more than 2 not-numbered pages. Also, they must indicate the section into which their paper fits. Submissions will be anonymously refereed, and the list of accepted lectures (invited as well as free) will be included into future announcements. Authors will be notified of acceptance as soon as possible. Timetable Deadline for the submission of a paper (2-pages abstract): September 30, 1995. The programme will be sent to all pre-registered participants on October 1995. Publications The book of abstracts will be available at the beginning of the conference. The Organizing Committee expects that a volume containing a refereed selection of submitted papers will be published after the conference.
