Association for Computational Linguistics
General Conference Chair: Marie Meteer, BBN Technologies
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is pleased to
announce that the 2000 Applied Natural Language Processing (ANLP)
conference and the first conference of the new North American Chapter of
the ACL (NAACL) will be held jointly 29 April to 3 May 2000 in Seattle,
Washington.
The joint conferences will offer a unique opportunity to bring industry
and researchers together to explore the full spectrum of computational
linguistics and natural language processing, from theory and methodology
to their application in commercial software.
For the general sessions, substantial, original, and unpublished
contributions to computational linguistics are solicited. (See the
separate Call for Student Papers to be announced soon for requirements
for submissions to the student sessions.) Submissions are due by 17
November 1999. See submission details at

Call for Tutorial Proposals
TUTORIALS CHAIR:
Jennifer Chu-Carroll
Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories
CALL:
The ANLP/NAACL Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program
for ANLP/NAACL 2000, to be held in Seattle, Washington, USA, April 29 - May
3, 2000. The tutorials will be held on April 29th.
Each tutorial should be well-focused so that its core content can be
covered in a three hour tutorial slot (plus a 30 minute break). In
exceptional cases, 6-hour tutorial slots are possible as well.
There will be space and time for between four and six three-hour tutorials.
Submission Details:
Proposals for tutorials should contain:
* A title and brief (< 500 word) content description of the tutorial topic.
* The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the
tutorial speakers, with one-paragraph statement of the speaker's(s')
research interests and areas of expertise.
* Any special requirements for technical needs (computer infrastructure,
etc.)
Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII
(iso8859-1) text as soon as possible, but no later than October 28, 1999.
Please E-mail proposals to jencc@research.bell-labs.com, with the subject
line: "ANLP/NAACL 2000 TUTORIAL PROPOSAL".
Please Note: Proposals will not be accepted by regular mail or fax.
PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS:
Accepted tutorial speakers must provide descriptions of their tutorials for
inclusion in the Conference Registration material by January 10, 2000. The
description must be provided in three formats: a latex version that fits
onto 1/2 page; an ascii (iso8859-1) version that can be included with the
email announcement; an HTML version that can be included on the Conference
home page.
Tutorial speakers will provide tutorial materials, at least containing
copies of the overhead sheets used, by March 17, 2000.
FINANCES:
The current ACL policy is that tutorials are reimbursed at the following
rate: $500 per session plus $25 per registrant in the range 21-50 plus $15
per registrant in excess of 50. Note that this is per tutorial, not per
presenter: multiple presenters will split the proceeds, the default
assumption being an even split. The ACL does not usually cover travel
expenses except where the presenter(s) are not independently attending the
conference and getting travel reimbursed.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline for Tutorial Proposal October 28, 1999
Notification of acceptance of Tutorial Proposal November 8, 1999
Tutorial descriptions due to Tutorial Chair January 10, 2000
Tutorial course material due to Tutorial Chair March 17, 2000
Tutorials Date April 29, 2000

Subject: North American ACL Chapter Constitution
>> From: Priscilla Rasmussen <rasmusse@cs.rutgers.edu>
Dear ACL member,
In 1998, the ACL Executive decided to create a chapter of the Association
specifically to serve the interests of North American members. This
chapter will parallel the European ACL chapter, and possibly be followed
by a chapter representing Asia as well.
The Executive formed a committee consisting of Sandra Carberry (University
of Delaware), Eduard Hovy (Information Sciences Institute of the University
of Southern California) and Marilyn Walker (AT&T Laboratories) to establish
the new chapter.
This committee presented a draft constitution for the new chapter to the
Executive at the recent ACL conference in June 1998. The Executive agreed
to a plan leading up to the formation of the new chapter by January 2000,
involving the following steps:
1. September 1999: draft constitution of the new chapter made public to
ACL membership via ACL website
2. September 1999: electronic discussion forum created for comments
3. October 1999: call for nominations for chapter officials
4. November 1999: electronic voting for chapter officials
5. December 1999: announcement of elected officials
6. January 2000: first electronic meeting of new chapter officials
7. April 2000: meeting of new chapter membership at NAACL/ANLP conference
The chapter creation committee will moderate the open discussion and will
act as Nominating and Electoral Committee for the election. This committee
will dissolve at the end of December, 1999.
We invite you to peruse the new chapter constitution from the ACL website,
at
http://www.aclweb.org/naacl/
We invite you to subscribe to the discussion list by sending an email
message to hovy@isi.edu, consisting simply of the line
"subscribe naacl-setup"
in the subject line.
We invite you to post comments and suggestions for the activities of the
new chapter to
naacl-setup@isi.edu
We invite you to nominate officers for the new chapter by electronically
sending the following information to Sandra Carberry
(carberry@eecis.udel.edu):
- the name and affiliation of the nominee,
- the position nominated for,
- a short statement of some of the nominee's achievements and/or
qualifications in the context of computational linguistics,
- a short statement by the nominee expressing the willingness to stand
for election.
Nominees must be members of ACL in good standing at the time of nomination.
The chapter creation committee,
Sandra Carberry, Eduard Hovy, Marilyn Walker
