Why?(3/1; MLA'00)
Deadline Extended to March 15, 2000
The MLA Discussion Group on Computer Studies in Language and
Literature announces a call papers for the 2000 MLA Convention in
Washington, D.C.
The session title is "Computer Studies in Language and Literature:
What Counts and Why."
The MLA call is as follows: "Current studies in stylistics, authorship,
linguistics, pedagogy, quantitative and qualitative analysis, etc., with
special emphasis on new directions, discontents, and the state of the
art."
We are interested in broadening the range of papers in our sessions,
and are particularly interested in papers that propose new directions
of research or address the historically relatively low interest in
sessions that involve computer studies in language and literature.
Web-based and hypertext studies (web-based corpora,
concordances, text-analyses, and so forth) are also welcome, as long
as they use the computer to study language or literature rather than
just to present it.
Note: All session participants must be MLA members by April 1,
2000.
If you are laboring in these vineyards, please join us. The session will
be followed by a business meeting, in which a new committee
member will be elected.
As an additional incentive, the three people whose submissions are
chosen will receive a copy of David Hoover's 1999 book,
_Language and Style in The Inheritors_.
E-mail submissions to david.hoover@nyu.edu by March 15.

22nd Conference
"Translating and the Computer"
16-17 November 2000
One Great George Street, London, SW1
*************************************************************
The annual conference "Translating and the Computer" has been an
important forum for Machine Translation and Translation Aids users over
the past 21 years. The conference is one of the few international events
which focuses on the user aspects of translation software and as such
has been particularly beneficial to a very wide audience including
translators, business managers, researchers and language experts.
Against the background of an increasingly multilingual society and the
all-encompassing impact of information technology, this year's
conference will address the latest developments in translation (and
translation-related) software.
This call for papers invites abstracts of papers to be presented at the
conference. The papers (and the presentations) should focus on the user
aspects of translation or translation-related software rather than on
research and development issues. Presentations accompanied by
demonstrations are especially welcome.
TOPICS
The range of conference topics includes (but is not limited to)
* use of Machine Translation (MT) systems
* machine-aided translation and translation aids
* memory based translation
* controlled languages and their use in MT
* speech translation
* terminology
* localisation
* translation aids for minority languages
* multilingual document management/workflow
* experience of companies using translation software
* translating and the computer: the new millennium challenges
* the Internet and translation aids
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors are requested to submit an extended abstract (between 500 and
1000 words) of the paper they would like to present. Extended abstracts
should be sent by post, fax or email before 22 May 2000 to:
Nicole Adamides, Conference Organiser
ASLIB, The Association for Information Management
Staple Hall, Stone House Court, London, EC3A 7PB
Tel: +44 (0) 20 7903 0000 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7903 0011
Email nicole.adamides@aslib.co.uk WWW: http://www.aslib.co.uk
The full-length versions of the accepted papers will be included in the
conference proceedings.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS (deadline 10 March 2000)
TOOLS is the major international conference series devoted to
applications object technology, component technology and other
advanced approaches to software development.
TOOLS USA 2000 will be held in Santa Barbara, CA at the Fess Parker
Double Tree Resort, one of the most beautiful resorts on the West Coast
and will continue the commitment to excellence of earlier TOOLS conferences
in Europe, Australia, Asia and the USA since 1989.
The proceedings will be published world-wide by the IEEE Computer
Society.
PAPERS
------
TOOLS USA 2000 is now soliciting papers on all aspects of
object and component technology. All submitted papers will be refereed
and assessed for technical quality and usefulness to practitioners and
applied researchers.
TOOLS USA particularly welcomes papers that present general
findings based upon industrial experience. Such papers will be judged
by the quality of their contribution to industrial best-practice.
TUTORIALS, WORKSHOPS AND PANELS
-------------------------------
Tutorials, workshops, and panels form an important part of the TOOLS
conferences. TOOLS USA 2000 is welcoming proposals for tutorials,
workshops and panels on topics related to the theme of the conference.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: ANLP-NAACL 2000 STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP
This year, student members will be presenting their exciting work in
progress at the newly designed Student Research Workshop. If you've ever
wanted to provide encouragement and scientific guidance to upcoming
researchers, this is your opportunity. Registration for the workshop is
included in your conference registration fee, and we encourage everyone to
attend and participate. The workshop will take place on Sunday, April 30,
and will run all day.
Our review committee has selected eight student papers for presentation at
the workshop based on their scholarship, originality, and technical merit.
These papers (listed below) cover many areas of NLP, including:
- text planning and natural language generation
- corpus-based and statistical text processing
- information extraction and information retrieval
- machine translation
- robust parsing and syntactic error detection
- word sense disambiguation and semantic annotation
- discourse and aggregation
In addition to audience comments, a panel of established scientists, each an
expert in areas relevant to the student presentations, will be chosen to
provide the students with in-depth feedback and suggestions on future
directions, similar to the highly acclaimed Doctoral Consortia at other
conferences. This new format is intended to provide students with
invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work, and will also
allow them to put their work into perspective based on feedback from the
panel. If you would like to be considered to serve on the scientific panel,
please contact the workshop co-chairs at <naacl00@cs.rochester.edu>.
PLEASE NOTE: pre-registration for the workshop is strongly encouraged.
Please indicate your desire to attend by checking the appropriate box on the
conference registration form. Registered participants will receive detailed
information about the schedule and location of the workshop at a later date.
Up-to-date information is also available on the workshop home page

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
second workshop on
INFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
ICoS-2
Dagstuhl, Germany, July 29-30, 2000
http://www.ags.uni-sb.de/~kohlhase/event/icos2/
(Submission deadline: April 15, 2000)
ABOUT ICoS
----------
Traditional inference tools (such as theorem provers and model
builders) are reaching new levels of sophistication and are now widely
and easily available. A wide variety of new tools (statistical and
probabilistic methods, ideas from the machine learning community) are
likely to be increasingly applied in computational semantics. Most
importantly of all, computational semantics seems to have reached the
stage where the exploration and development of inference is one of its
most pressing tasks - and there's a lot of interesting new work which
takes inferential issues seriously.
The Workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS) intends to
bring researchers from areas such as Computational Linguistics,
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science,and Logics together, in
order to discuss approaches and applications of Inference in natural
language semantics.
ICoS-1 took place in Amsterdam on August 15, 1999 with an attendence
of over 50 researchers. A selection of the papers presented at ICoS-1
will be published in the Journal of Language and Computation.
ICoS-2 is endorsed by SIGSEM, the Association for Computational
Linguistics (ACL) Special Interest Group (SIG) on computational
semantics.
