Subject: Computing Courses of interest at Virginia
RARE BOOK SCHOOL is pleased to announce its 2002 Sessions, a collection of
five-day, non-credit courses on topics concerning rare books, manuscripts,
the history of books and printing, and special collections to be held at
the University of Virginia.

Subscribers to the Humanist list may find the following Rare Book School
courses to be of particular interest:
14. IMPLEMENTING ENCODED ARCHIVAL DESCRIPTION (MONDAY-FRIDAY, JANUARY
6-10). Encoded Archival Description (EAD) provides standardized
machine-readable access to primary resource materials. This course is aimed
at archivists, librarians, and museum personnel who would like an
introduction to EAD that includes an extensive supervised hands-on
component. Students will learn SGML encoding techniques in part using
examples selected from among their own institutions' finding aids. Topics:
the context out of which EAD emerged; introduction to the use of SGML
authoring tools and browsers; the conversion of existing finding aids to
EAD. Instructor: Daniel Pitti
DANIEL PITTI became Project Director at the University of Virginia's
Institute for Advanced Technology in 1997, before which he was Librarian
for Advanced Technologies at the University of California, Berkeley. He was
the Coordinator of the Encoded Archival Description initiative. He has
taught this course since 1997, usually twice annually.
24. ELECTRONIC TEXTS & IMAGES. (MONDAY-FRIDAY, MARCH 3-7). A practical
exploration of the research, preservation, editing, and pedagogical uses of
electronic texts and images in the humanities. The course will center
around the creation of a set of archival-quality etexts and digital images,
for which we shall also create an Encoded Archival Description guide.
Topics include: SGML tagging and conversion; using the Text Encoding
Initiative Guidelines; the form and implications of XML; publishing on the
World Wide Web; and the management and use of online texts. Some experience
with HTML is a prerequisite for admission to the course. Instructor: David
Seaman
DAVID SEAMAN is the founding director of the internationally renowned
Electronic Text Center and online archive at the University of Virginia. He
lectures and writes frequently on SGML, the Internet, and the creation and
use of electronic texts in the humanities. He has taught this course at
Rare Book School many times since 1994.

Second North American Summer School
in
Logic, Language and Information
NASSLLI-2003
June 17-21, 2003, Bloomington, Indiana
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
CALL FOR COURSE and WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
--------------------------------------
The main focus of the North American Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information is on the interface between linguistics, logic and
computation, broadly conceived, and on related fields. The school is the
second NASSLLI, following the successful first school at Stanford in June,
2002. Our sister school, the European Summer School in Logic, Language,
and Information, has been highly successful, becoming an important meeting
place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in
the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. We intend
for NASSLLI to similarly become an important setting. The NASSLLI Steering
Committee invites proposals for introductory and advanced courses, and for
workshops on a wide range of topics.
In addition to courses and workshops there will be a Student
Session. A Call for Papers for the Student Session will be
distributed separately.
A NOTE ON THE DATES OF NASSLLI The Summer School comes at a time of year
when many conferences take place. NASSLLI comes just after the
Federated Computing Research Conference (June 714) in San Diego:
see http://www.acm.org/sigs/conferences/fcrc/
and just before
the IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (June 22 - 25) in Ottawa,
Canada:
http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/als/lics/ .
NASSLLI also comes somewhat before the LSA Summer Institute (June 30-August 8)
in East Lansing:
http://lsa2003.lin.msu.edu/
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted
by email to nasslli@indiana.edu by October 15, 2002.
Proposers
should follow the guidelines below while preparing their submissions;
proposals that deviate might not be considered.

EACL-03: LAST CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Proposal submission deadline: October 1, 2002
The EACL-03 Organizing Committee invites proposals
for workshops to be held at EACL-03.
EACL-03 will take place in Budapest, Hungary, April 12-17, 2003
with workshops being held on Sunday and Monday, April 13 and 14, 2003.
* Workshop topics
EACL-03 workshops provide organizers and participants with an
opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic within
computational linguistics. Often, workshops concentrate on specific
topics of technical interest (e.g., parsing technologies), particular
areas of application for language processing technologies (e.g., NLP
applied to IR), or community-wide issues that deserve attention (e.g.,
standardization of resources and tools).
We welcome proposals on any topic that is of interest to the EACL
community, but we particularly encourage proposals that broaden the
scope of our community through the consideration of new or
interdisciplinary techniques or applications.
We also encourage topics that are specific to the EACL community such
as resources and tools for European or Mediterranean languages.
