Computers & Texts # 8
CALL FOR PAPERS
Newsletter of the CTI Centre for Textual Studies
Computers & Texts has now been running for three years and is the newsletter of
the Computers in Teaching Initiative Centre for Textual Studies, based at
Oxford University Computing Services. The subjects covered by the Centre
include literature, linguistics, classics, theology, philosophy (& logic),
theatre arts, and media studies. The newsletter has a selection of short
articles relating to computer-aided learning in textual studies, a section
devoted to the Office for Humanities Communication, and has a mailing of over
2,000 world-wide. Articles relating to projects dealing with electronic text
centres and editions are particularly welcome.
Format: Submissions should be of approximately 1000-1500 words although this is
open to discussion with the editors. Footnotes should be limited and placed at
the end of the article. References to published works should be of the form
(Smith, 1992) with full bibliographic details given at the end of the article.
Screen dumps are accepted, preferably in TIFF or PICT format for the Macintosh.

PACLING '95
Pacific Association for Computational Linguistics
2nd Conference
April 19-22 (Wed-Sat) 1995
The University of Queensland
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
********************
* HISTORY AND AIMS *
********************
PACLING (= Pacific Association for Computational
LINGuistics) has grown out of the very successful Japan-
Australia joint symposia on natural language processing
(NLP) held in November 1989 in Melbourne, Australia and in
October 1991 in Iizuka City, Japan. The first meeting of
the retitled PACLING, a name designed to express the wider
membership, took place in Vancouver, Canada in April 1993.
PACLING '95 will be a low-profile, high-quality, workshop-
oriented meeting whose aim is to promote friendly
scientific relations among Pacific Rim countries, with
emphasis on interdisciplinary scientific exchange showing
openness towards good research falling outside current
dominant "schools of thought," and on technological
transfer within the Pacific region. The conference is a
unique forum for scientific and technological exchange,
being smaller than ACL, COLING or Applied NLP, and also
more regional with extensive representation from the
Western Pacific (as well as the Eastern).
**********
* TOPICS *
**********
Original papers are invited on any topic in computational
linguistics (and strongly related areas) including (but not
limited to) the following:
Language subjects:
text, speech;
pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax,
lexicon, morphology, phonology, phonetics;
language and communication channels,
e.g., touch, movement, vision, sound;
language and input/output devices,
e.g., keyboards, menus, touch screens,
mice, light pens, graphics (incl. animation);
language and context,
e.g., from the subject domain, discourse,
spatial and temporal deixis.
Approaches and architectures:
computational linguistic,
multi-modal but natural-language centred;
formal, knowledge-based, statistical, connectionist;
dialogue, user, belief or other model-based;
parallel/serial processing
corpora and large-text linguistics
Applications:
text and message understanding and generation,
language translation and translation aids,
language learning and learning aids;
question-answering systems and interfaces to multi-
media databases
(text, audio/video, (geo)graphic);
terminals for Asian and other languages,
user interfaces;
natural language-based software.
************************

* BACK TO BACK COGNITIVE SCIENCE CONFERENCE*
********************************************
The annual meeting of the Australian Cognitive Science Society
will be held at the University of Queensland from April 18-20.
Arrangements are being made with the organizers of that conference
for Pacling delegates to attend sessions of the Cognitive Science
Conference, and we are negotiating with them about joint sessions
and a coordinated program.
On the afternoon of Thursday 20 April CogSci95 will hold
a workshop on the applications of cognitive science. Pacling
delegates who would like to demonstrate software, or who would
like to offer a contribution, should contact Roly Sussex as soon
as possible.
