TEN YEARS ON
12-14 November 1994
Organised by
Cranfield University
in conjunction with the

Specialist Group of the
British Computer Society
(BCS-NLTSG)
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Conference
The first Cranfield International Conference on Machine
Translation, jointly organised by the BCS-NLTSG and Cranfield,
was held in 1984.
In view of the success of that conference, we are marking its
tenth anniversary at Cranfield by holding another, similarly
jointly-sponsored, international conference on Machine
Translation.
The title for the Conference is:
Machine Translation: Ten Years On
Papers are invited which centre on what has been achieved in
Machine Translation (MT) and Machine Assisted Translation (MAT)
in the ten years on from 1984, and also what is expected to
happen in R & D of MT and MAT in the next ten years.
Sessions around this theme will range from the theoretical (eg.
"human translation v machine translation" or "recent work on
theory of translation and its message for MT") through the more
practical aspects (eg. research work on the needs for
standardisation and modularisation), to possible future
applications of MT (eg. its use in the telephone or television).
Among other topics on which papers are invited are: evaluation of
MT systems, developments in speech-related MT, translation tools,
and indeed any topic relevant to MT or MAT.
Emphasis in the Conference will nevertheless also be given to the
latest research in MT and MAT, illustrated where possible by
computer demonstrations of working systems.
It is expected that the Conference will help to give an impetus
for further research and development in MT and MAT in the coming
ten years.
We think everyone agreed how successful and enjoyable the '84
Cranfield Conference was. We are expecting the '94 Cranfield
Conference to be even better.
