+-------------------------------------------------------
| Why CICLing?
+-------------------------------------------------------

This conference is the fourth CICLing event. We consider the 
following factors to define our identity:

 General interest. The conf covers nearly all topics related
 to computational linguistics. This makes it attractive for
 people from different areas and leads to vivid and interesting
 discussions and exchange of opinions.

 Informal interaction. It is intended for a small group of
 professionals, some 50 participants. This allows for informal
 and friendly atmosphere, more resembling a friendly party than
 an official event. At CICLing you can pass hours speaking with
 your favorite famous scientists who you scarcely could greet in
 the crowd at large confs.

 Excellent excursions. The conference is intended for
 people feeling themselves young in their souls, adventurous
 explorers in both science and life. Our cultural program often
 brings the participants to unique marvels of history and nature 
 hidden from the ordinary tourists.

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Areas of interest 
+-------------------------------------------------------

In general, we are interested in whatever helps, will help eventually,
or might help computers meaningfully process language data.

The conference is intended to the exchange of opinions between the
scientists working in different areas of the growing field of
computational linguistics and intelligent text processing. Our idea is
to get a general view of the state of art in computational linguistics
and its applications.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited by, the following
topics, as long as the topic is presented in computer-related or
formal description aspects:

Computational linguistics research:

 Computational linguistic theories and formalisms
 Representation of linguistic knowledge
 Morphology
 Syntax
 Semantics
 Discourse models
 Text generation
 Statistical methods in computational linguistics
 Corpus linguistics
 Lexical resources

Intelligent text processing and applications:

 Document classification and search
 Information retrieval
 Information extraction
 Text mining
 Automatic summarization
 Spell checking
 Natural language interfaces


Naturally, we welcome the works on processing any language, not
necessarily English, though major languages are of more general
interest. Note: when describing phenomena of languages other than
English, please be sure to make your discussion understandable for
people not familiar with this language.

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Important dates
+-------------------------------------------------------

Submission deadline: October 10, short papers: October 20

more pages, please let us know: gelbukhcicling.org.

Short papers should not exceed 4 pages and should, if possible,
contain references to Internet sites where more detail on the work can
be found. Otherwise the format of the short papers is identical to
that of full papers.

Please strictly follow the format guidelines of Springer LNSC series,
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. We cannot guarantee
publication of any paper that does not follow these guidelines. Please
do not hesitate to ask any questions at gelbukhcicling.org.

We accept only electronic submissions, which should be properly
formatted. To submit a paper, send both or any one of the following at
submissioncicling.org:

 PostScript or PDF file. PostScript usually better works
 with non-English characters. 

 Source file in RTF or DOC. Or, file in LaTeX together with
 a PostScript or PDF file.

When sending us the camera-ready paper, please send all of the
following:

 Source file in LaTeX or RTF (not in DOC). If you use LaTeX,
 then also all necessary source files, such as EPS pictures
 and all style files different from llncs.cls (note that the
 use of custom style files is strongly discouraged).

 PostScript and PDF file, if you are unable to produce a PDF
 file. If you use LaTeX, then also DVI file.

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Tentative schedule 
+-------------------------------------------------------

The specific schedule will be posted in the Program section at the
website.

The following schedule is tentative.

There will be four working days and three days of excursions. You can
arrive on Monday and leave on Friday if you wish; then you will loose
two excursions.

February 15, Sunday:
 Excursion (to be announced).
February 16, Monday:
 Registration. Talks. Welcome party.
February 17, Tuesday:
 Talks.
February 18, Wednesday:
 Excursion (to be announced, probably to the Royal Palaces of
Seoul).
February 19, Thursday:
 Talks.
February 20, Friday:
 Talks and discussions.
February 21, Saturday:
 Excursion (to be announced).

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Welcome Party
+-------------------------------------------------------

The welcome party will be combined with the Poster and Demo section.
We will have some snack, maybe some wine. (No music, no real food,
even no tables, sorry: we consider official banquets waste of your
valuable time.) You will enjoy the informal atmosphere to speak with
each other and with the presenters of the posters and demos. You will
also have a chance to show and discuss your own programs (for this,
please let us know your software and hardware requirements).

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Hotel and local guide
+-------------------------------------------------------

We suggest that it is convenient for the participants to stay in the
same hotel, to facilitate informal interaction. Usually our
participants form ad-hoc informal companies in the hotel reception to
go to some restaurant, walking tours, etc.

We will try to provide free transportation from the recommended hotel
to the conf place. Also, we will try to get discounted rates for the
conf participants in this hotel.

Please notify us in advance if you wish to reserve a room in this
hotel. Please see http://www.CICLing.org/2004, Hotel, for specific info.

Also, at the website you will find the following information:

- How to get to the Hotel,
- How to get to the conf place,
- Useful local information: currency and credit cards, transportation,
 food museums, security.
