The major event in which SIGSEM was involved in 2005 was IWCS-6, the
Sixth International Workshop on Computational Semantics, which was
held on 12 - 14 January 2005 in Tilburg, the Netherlands. The program
consisted of 24 submitted talks, 12 short paper poster sessions, and
invited talks by:
Dafydd Gibbon (U. Bielefeld)
Alexander Koller (U. Saarbruecken)
Daniel Marcu (ISI, Marina del Rey)
Maarten de Rijke (Amsterdam)

Immediately preceding IWCS-6, on 10-11 January 2005, the working group
on the Representation of Multimodal Semantic Information held its
fourth meeting at Tilburg University. This meeting was open to IWCS-6
participants. For more information see the Working Group's website at
