Reasoning and Interaction at NASSLLI (RAIN) is a workshop to be held immediately after the upcoming North American Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI).
RAIN follows NASSLLI and features talks by NASSLLI instructors and students whose work is related to reasoning and/or interactions among individuals and groups. RAIN is especially interested in work which is formally-minded rather than programmatic, and yet which is of wide enough interest to present to an interdisciplinary audience.
We invite submission on topics such as:
Papers on related subjects will also be considered.
There will not be a registration fee for RAIN.
We invite papers for presentation at RAIN. We are most interested in substantial papers on the topics mentioned above, including presentations of work which has already been published. RAIN will not publish a volume of papers, and so we shall also consider work which is substantial but "in progress." The submissions should be at most 5 pages, with an optional technical appendix of up to 10 pages, together with a plain-text abstract of 100-200 words. Papers should be submitted electronically to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rain2012.
Submission deadline: March 31, 2012 May 1, 2012
Acceptance notification: May ?, 2012
Conference: June 23-24, 2012
E-mail inquiries should be directed to nasslli@nasslli2012.com

The TLS (Texas Linguistics Society) conference will coincide with RAIN, but they are two different events. TLS will be open to submissions from all areas, but the keynotes and invited talks will be split between semantics (potentially specifically the semantics of questions) and meaning in signed languages. In terms of overgeneralized differences, RAIN is oriented more toward logic/philosophy, and TLS is oriented more toward linguistics.
