The late Jon Barwise was, among many other things, the first director of the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford. His book with John Perry, Situations and Attitudes, appeared some twenty years ago (in 1983), launching situation semantics, a semantic framework that analyzes context in terms of situations.

This workshop provides a forum for works addressing the following question: What problems, issues and/or insights connected with situation semantics and Barwise motivate your research today? And how?

A special issue of Research on Language and Computation and/or Journal of Applied Logic is projected, based on the workshop.
