FORMAL GRAMMAR CONFERENCE

August 7-8, 1999,
Utrecht, The Netherlands

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

FG99 is the 5th conference on Formal Grammar held in conjunction
with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, which
takes place in 1999 in Utrecht. Previous meetings were held in Barcelona
(1995), Prague (1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), and as part of the
Joint Conference on Formal Grammar, Head-Driven Phrase
Structure Grammar, and Categorial Grammar (FHCG98) held
in Saarbruecken last August.

AIMS and SCOPE

FG99 provides a forum for the presentation of new and original
research on formal grammar, especially with regard to the application
of formal methods to natural language analysis.

Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,

* formal and computational syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology;
* model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
* constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
* foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar.

Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from
a wide variety of frameworks.

SPECIAL SESSIONS and INVITED SPEAKERS. There will be a SYMPOSIUM on

Grammatical Resources and Grammatical Inference

David Dowty (Ohio State)
Polly Jacobson (Brown)
Gerhard Jaeger (Berlin)
Reinhard Muskens (Tilburg)
Mark Steedman (Edinburgh)

RAPID DISSEMINATION OF SCHOLARLY RESULTS
The Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library (NCSTRL)

Carl Lagoze
Digital Library Scientist
Computer Science Department
Cornell University
Ithaca, NY 14853 USA

ABSTRACT: The traditional journal model of scholarly publication
faces a number of challenges. These include the need for more rapid
dissemination of results, problems associated with high
subscription costs, and the recognition that other media forms such
as video, software, and data should be exploited. As a result,
traditional journals have increasingly been supplemented and
replaced by electronic archives. In this talk, we review some of
the architectural models for electronic scholarly publication,
characterizing them by their level of decentralization in
administration and physical location. We follow by describing the
advantages of a federated architecture that accommodates
decentralization, extensibility, and coordinated administration.
Finally, we demonstrate this architecture as realized in the
Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library (NCSTRL) and
describe some of our ongoing work in this area.

CARL LAGOZE is the Digital Library Scientist in the Computer Science
Department at Cornell University. In this position, he leads digital
library research in the department and collaborates in digital library
and electronic publishing projects with the University Library and
Cornell Information Technology office. Mr. Lagoze's research can
broadly be characterized as investigating component-based digital
library architecture. This includes research into the architecture of
digital objects and digital repositories, techniques for distributed
resource discovery, the mechanisms for defining distributed
collections, and metadata standards and architectures. Mr. Lagoze is
the recipient of numerous DARPA and NSF research grants and has spoken
internationally on digital library issues. See:
