                   Report on SIGSEM, June 2003
                  Patrick Blackburn and Harry Bunt
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The SIGSEM elections were held at the start of 2003.  When nominations
for SIGSEM officers closed on 15 February 2003 the following
nominations had been received by Kristina Striegnitz, the returning
officer for SIGSEM election.

       Patrick Blackburn (President) 
       Harry Bunt (Secretary) 
       Johan Bos (Information Officer) 
       Ivana Kruijff-Korbayova (Information Officer) 
       Paul Piwek (Information Officer)
       Matthew Stone (Information Officer) 

As the SIGSEM constitution calls for the election of one president,
one secretary, and four information officers, the above nominees were
declared elected without contest.

Currently SIGSEM is organising ICoS-4, the fourth International
Workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics.  This will be held
in Nancy, France, on 25-26 September 2003.  ICoS-4 will be combined
with a meeting of SIGSEM Working Group on Multimodal Meaning
Representation. All IWCS-5 participants were invited to attend this
meeting. More information about these meetings will soon be available
on the SIGSEM website (www.sigsem.org).

SIGSEM is also endorsing a one day school on Description Logics which
will be held in Nancy on 24 September 2003. The school will introduce
Description Logics from scratch and examine applications in NLP and
text analysis.
