The ACM DL series continues the sequence of Texas conferences: DL'94 in College Station and DL'95 in Austin. The leaders of those events are helping with DL'96 organization and program efforts. The meeting will be co- located with Hypertext '96 in 1996 and with ACM SIGIR '97 the following year. DL '96 will immediately follow Hypertext '96 at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, Maryland. The site is located near the Washington D.C. Metro and provides easy access to the many attractions in the Baltimore-Washington area. The DL series is sponsored by ACM, through SIGIR and SIGLINK. Other ACM SIGs have joined in cooperation, including: SIGAda, SIGART, SIGBIO, SIGCAPH, SIGCOMM, SIGCUE, SIGDA, SIGMIS (formerly SIGBIT), and SIGOIS. In-cooperation sponsors include: ASIS (American Society for Information Science), CNI (Coalition for Networked Information), IEEE CS (IEEE Computer Society) KSI (Knowledge Systems Inc.), LITA (Library and Information Technology Association), LoC (Library of Congress), NAL (National Agricultural Library), NLM (National Library of Medicine), SLA (Special Libraries Association). The Conference will include approximately 20 research papers, several panels, two keynote addresses, posters, and three sessions devoted to the working groups of the Digital Library Forum. Short tutorials will be offered on Wednesday March 20 and post-conference workshops will be held on Saturday March 23. Conference attendees will receive the Conference Proceedings published by ACM Press.

cogs.susx.ac.uk>AISB96 Workshop: Multilinguality in the lexicon FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS 1st November 1995 Dates: 1st - 2nd April, 1996 Venue: University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Organisers: Dr Lynne Cahill, University of Sussex Dr Roger Evans, University of Brighton Outline ------ This workshop aims to bring together active researchers with an interest in the issues surrounding multilingual aspects of lexicons. Traditionally, multilingual issues in the lexicon have primarily been a concern of applied NLP research, notably machine translation and more recently multilingual generation; the recent upsurge of work on more theoretical aspects of lexical representation has focussed on a monolingual view. However, these two strands are now beginning to come together: theoreticians are branching out into multilingual issues, and applied researchers are beginning to exploit some of the newer developments in lexical representation. This workshop provides an opportunity for lexical practitioners of all sorts to focus on the particular problems and questions associated with multilingual lexical representation. Papers are invited on any aspects of multilinguality in the lexicon including but not limited to: pragmatics, semantics, syntax, morphology, phonology, orthography; machine translation, generation, understanding; bilingual and multilingual issues; related and unrelated languages; issues of representation and access. In addition, we invite proposals to demonstrate working systems. Submission -------- Extended abstracts (up to 5 A4 pages) and demonstration proposals (up to 2 A4 pages) should be submitted to Lynne Cahill either electronically (our preference) in plain ASCII text or LaTeX, or hard copy (three copies). Submission deadline is 18th December. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 15th January. Final papers will be due 1st March. AISB Workshops ------------ This workshop is part of the AISB96 workshop series, comprising 10 or so independent workshops on various aspects of AI, running simultaneously over 1st-2nd April 1996. While the technical programme of each workshop is separate and self-contained, registration and accommodation will be organised centrally through the AISB96 organisers (contact details below), and participants of all the workshops will be able to mix freely outside of the technical sessions (mealtimes, evening etc.).
