Formatting guidelines

It is highly recommended to submit papers using the final camera-
ready formatting style, except that author names should be omitted,
and replaced by the tracking number. Submissions must not exceed
five pages in camera-ready format. Submissions of unformatted
papers are limited to 6000 words including footnotes, figure
captions, tables, appendices, and bibliography. Each half-page
of figures will be counted as 600 words. (Please note that for some
papers five camera-ready pages may be considerably less than 6000
words in practice.) Overlengthy submissions will be rejected
without review. Authors submitting unformatted papers must include
a word count on their paper.

Guidelines on the format of submissions are available on the
ECAI 2002 Style Guide page
http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/cfp/style.html
Latex style files to support formatting of submissions are also
available http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/cfp/latex

Final versions of accepted papers will be required to conform
strictly to the formatting requirements specified in the ECAI 2002
Style Guide. Each accepted paper will be allocated five pages in
the proceedings.

Submission procedure

Submission is a two-stage process. Authors are asked to submit a
brief summary of their paper by 18 January 2002, followed by their
full paper before 22 January 2002 (23:59 CET). The strongly
preferred submission method for summaries is to use the web-based
summary submission form
http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/ecai/summary_submission.html
Submitted summaries will be assigned a unique tracking number that
should be marked on the full paper submission. Authors without access
to the web should send a summary including the title, authors,
contact address and abstract of the paper (maximum 200 words), plus
keywords drawn from this list (plus other key-words if appropriate)
to the ECAI 2002 Programme Chair (by email or postal mail).
The summary information and the tracking number should also be
included with the paper itself, on a separate sheet of paper.
Authors not able to use the web-based submission form may omit the
tracking number.

The strongly preferred submission method for full papers is
electronically, by email to: ecai2002-submissioncs.vu.nl Only
PDF files will be accepted. A free service to convert a number of
widely used file formats to PDF is available at
http://createpdf.adobe.com/ (the first three uses of this service
are for free). Submissions in hardcopy may also be made if electronic
submission is prob-lematic for the authors. In that case, six
copies of the paper (each including the summary sheet) should be
sent by postal mail or courier service to the ECAI 2002 Programme
Chair, Frank van Harmelen, at the address below. The deadline for
receipt of papers is 22 January 2002 (23:59 CET) for both electronic
and hardcopy submissions.

Papers received after this date will not be reviewed. Notification
of receipt of full papers will be mailed to the corresponding author
soon after receipt.

Anonymous reviewing process

ECAI 2002 will operate an anonymous reviewing process. Reviewing
for ECAI 2002 will be blind to the identities of the authors and
their institutions. To allow for blind reviewing replace the authors
line in your submission by the unique tracking number assigned by
the submission of the summary form (or leave it empty in case you
are not able to use the web-based summary submission form). Please
avoid identifying self-references. Replace phrases like "We have
shown in [n]" by "In [n] it has been shown ...".

Multiple submissions policy

ECAI 2002 will not accept any paper which at the time of submission
is under review for, or has already been published or accepted for
publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also
expected not to submit their papers elsewhere during the review
period. These restrictions only apply to journals and conferences
and not to workshops or similar specialised meetings with limited
audiences. The title page should include a statement that "this
paper is not under review or accepted for publication in another
conference or journal".

The review process

All submissions will be subject to academic peer review by the
ECAI 2002 Programme Committee under the chairmanship of the ECAI 2002
Programme Committee Chair. The ECAI 2002 Programme Committee Chair
has final authority over the review process and all decisions
relating to acceptance of papers. Review criteria include originality
of ideas, technical soundness, significance of results, and quality
of presentation. Notification of acceptance or rejection of submitted
papers will be mailed to the corresponding author by 22 April 2002.

Awards

The best paper of the conference, as selected by the ECAI 2002
Programme Committee, will receive a prize sponsored by Elsevier
Science. The authors will also be invited to publish a longer
version of the paper in the Artificial Intelligence journal. The
authors of the 10 next best papers will all be invited to submit
a long version of their paper to a special fast-review track of
the Artificial Intelligence journal.

Conference proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published and distributed by
IOS Press on paper and as a CD-ROM. The authors will be responsible
for producing camera-ready copies of papers, conforming to the
ECAI 2002 formatting guidelines, for inclusion in the proceedings.
The deadline for receipt of the camera-ready copy is 10 May 2002.
Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required
to attend the conference to present the paper.

Support for Central and Eastern Europe

ECAI 2002 is dedicated to supporting AI research in Central and
Eastern Europe. A travel grant to attend the conference will be
given to one author of each accepted paper from Central or Eastern
Europe. Also, authors from Central and Eastern Europe are offered
the possibility of pre-reviewing. They can submit their paper
anytime after 1 October 2002 to the ECAI 2002 Central and Eastern
Europe Chair at the address below. The paper will then be assigned
to a pre-reviewer, who may yield useful suggestions for the authors.
The pre-reviewing is aimed at supporting authors from Central and
Eastern Europe, and is no guarantee of acceptance of the final paper.

 ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop (ITRW) 

 on

 MULTI-MODAL DIALOGUE IN MOBILE ENVIRONMENTS

 IDS'02

 June 17 through June 21, 2002

 http://www.sigmedia.org/ids02



INTRODUCTION

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in this ISCA Tutorial
and Research Workshop (ITRW) on MULTI-MODAL DIALOGUE IN MOBILE
ENVIRONMENTS, which will be held at the Kloster Irsee in southern
Germany from June 17 through June 21, 2002.

The workshop will cover all aspects of spoken, but also multi-modal
interaction in mobile environments and will emphasise design issues
and applications. Moreover, the workshop will focus on research and
results, give information on tools and run prototype demonstrators of
the expected future application.

After the successful ETRW on Interactive Dialogue in Multi-Modal
Systems at Kloster Irsee, Germany in June 1999, it is our belief that
it is now the time to arrange a workshop, where the latest
developments within the area of multi-modal dialogue in mobile
environments will be discussed among researchers and industrialists
active in the area.

The workshop is organised as a collaboration between the University of
Southern Denmark, DaimlerChrysler AG and the German Research Center
for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).

We welcome you to the workshop.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

The format of the workshop will be a non-overlapping mixture of oral
and poster sessions. A number of tutorial lectures will be given by
internationally recognised experts from the area of multi-modal
dialogue systems.

All poster sessions will be opened by an oral summary by the session
chair. A number of poster sessions will be succeeded by a discussion
session focussing on the subject of the session. It is our belief that
this general format will ensure a lively and valuable workshop.

The organisers would like to encourage researchers and industrialists
to take the opportunity to bring their applications as well as their
demonstrator prototypes and design tools for demonstration to the
workshop. If sufficient interest is shown, a special
demonstrator/poster session will be organised and followed by a
discussion session.

The official language of the workshop is English. At the opening of
the workshop hardcopies of the abstracts and proceedings on CD-ROM
will be available. An edition of Lecture Notes in Computer Science
collecting the full-paper versions presented at the workshop is
planned.
