irsit.rnrt.tn>THE PROCESSING OF ARABIC 17-20 April 2002 Tunis - TUNISIA Organized by Faculty of letters, La Manouba. Department of Arabic, University of Manouba 2001, Tunisia. Following the request of several colleagues, the Department of Arabic, University of Manouba 2001, has decided to extend the date of the submission of abstracts to January 20, 2002 The notification of acceptance for the late abstracts: January 30, 2002 Final text: February 20, 2002 AIMS The conference aims at (i) presenting the state of the art in the Arabic language processing and strengthening relations between the two communities of researchers in linguistics and NLP at large, (ii) sharing information and expertise in order to develop a common view on Arabic language processing, (iii) identifying problems of common interest between the two communities and exam the possibilities of setting up joint projects. The scientific program will include several invited lectures as well as submitted paper presentations. Submitted papers will be published in a volume of proceedings. TOPICS - Treatment of morphology, syntax, semantics... etc - Electronic Arabic corpora for lexicography - Methods and tools for Arabic corpus processing - Acquisition and reusability of lexicography resources - Annotation of Arabic resources - Recognition of lexical units in text - Monolingual and multilingual lexicography - Arabic language teaching (applications...) SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts of maximum 2-page length, accompanied by a separate sheet indicating name, address and affiliation of the author(s) together with the title of the abstract.

informatik.uni-augsburg.de>ISAMP 2002: AAAI-02 Workshop on Intelligent Situation-Aware Media and Presentations held in conjunction with the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-02) http://www.eml.org/isamp2002 July 28, 2002 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada The design of intelligent situation-aware media and presentations becomes increasingly important for software designers and also for the design of consumer electronic devices. This process is due to the fact that software becomes more complex and systems become integrated into a ubiquitous information infrastructure. The paradigm of "one device - one functionality" is over and today we can access mutually any service through any device. A TV set for instance is nowadays a control center for various applications, e.g., video programming, e-commerce, Web-browsing and more. A mobile PDA can be used as a telephone, tourist guide, remote control, and calendar or Web-access device. In these scenarios, new intelligent methods are necessary, that decouple the application logic from the actual device and that adapt the media and presentation to the actual situation, i.e., the user with her needs and preferences, the devices that are available, and the context. In the last few years, a number of approaches addressed parts of these problems involving various AI techniques. In fact, AI techniques seem to be the key methods for intelligent and scalable solutions. However, there is not yet an unified framework visible. Scope In the ISAMP workshop we intend to bring together researchers working on various aspects of the problems described above. The scope of interest includes but is not limited to: - adaptive media for single and multiple modalities (vision, audio, ...) - context-aware presentation management - device-adaptive dialog systems - seamless presentation management in ubiquitous computing - user-adaptive media - situation-adapted user interfaces - adaptation to limited technical resource of the output media - adaptation to limited cognitive resources of the viewer Workshop Submission Details We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, government, and consulting. Students, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit full papers (max. 8 pages) or suggestions for demonstrations (max 4 pages) describing original, novel, and inspirational work. The submissions will be reviewed by an international group of researchers and practitioners. Submissions should be sent by email to Rainer Malaka (malakaMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
