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. * Workshop format Traditionally, workshops are shaped as mini-conferences, but we encourage proposers to consider other formats that exploit the fact that smaller settings allow for more interaction between participants (discussions, panels, working sessions). The default duration of a workshop is one day, but longer or shorter durations can be proposed (but should be justified). Please note that capacity limitations may cause us to request the organizers to shorten a workshop or to merge it with another workshop in a related area. * Financial guidelines The workshop organisers will benefit from the standard logistic facilities provided for the conference e.g., room, equipment, coffee, proceedings. Any additional cost should be covered by the organisers (especially invited speakers, PC meetings etc.). * Registration fees Participants pay a registration fee which is dependent on the duration of the workshop. Participants not registered for the main conference, pay a higher fee. * Proposals Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, and the size of the interested community. Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain the following information: * A title and brief description of the workshop topic. * The target audience and projected number of participants along with support for the projected count. Supporting evidence could include a list of potential submitters, a list of conferences that contained papers on the proposed topic, the number of new companies focused on this topic, or recent funding initiatives that address this topic. * Resource needs such as room size and number of days. Include any special requirements for technical support (computer infrastructure, etc.). * The name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair. In addition, indicate the chairs' background in the workshop area. * A preliminary programme committee Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text, as soon as possible but no later than OCTOBER 1, 2002. The subject line should be: "EACL-03 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL".
