"Proficiency" in Japanese Language Teaching:
Current Issues in Theory and Practice

CALL FOR PAPERS!!

Abstracts can be submitted for 20 minute talks (followed by 10
minutes for discussion) concerned with proficiency in Japanese
language teaching from theoretical or practical perspectives.
Throughout the conference, we intend to look at the pros and cons
of proficiency oriented instruction. We welcome papers
addressing issues in reading, speaking, listening, and/or writing
skill(s) related to proficiency-based instruction as well as
testing proficiency. Abstracts should outline the main points of
the presentation, describing any results or techniques to be
presented, and indicate why the work is significant.

Keynote speaker:

Professor Theodore V. Higgs, Chairman of the Department of
Spanish and Portuguese at San Diego State University will open
the conference with a keynote address on oral performance
testing.

Please submit three copies of a one-page, anonymous abstract
(approximately 500 words) along with a separate information sheet,
including your name, title of the paper, affiliation, address,
tel/fax/e-mail, and special equipment necessary for the presentation.
Please do not send abstracts by e-mail.

Also, on-line registration is now available. To register please see

Genetic Programming 1997 Conference (GP-97)
July 13 - 16 (Sunday - Wednesday), 1997
Fairchild Auditorium - Stanford University - Stanford, California
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Papewr Submission Deadline: Wednesday, January 8, 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

In cooperation with American Association for Artificial
Intelligence (AAAI), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM),
SIGART, and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)

Genetic programming is an automatic programming technique for
evolving computer programs that solve (or approximately solve)
problems. Starting with a primordial ooze of thousands of
randomly created computer programs, a population of programs is
progressively evolved over many generations using the Darwinian
principle of survival of the fittest, a sexual recombination
operation, and occasional mutation.

The first annual genetic programming conference in 1996 featured
15 tutorials, 2 invited speakers, 3 parallel tracks, 73 papers,
and 17 poster papers in proceedings book, and 27 late-breaking
papers in a separate book distributed to conference attendees,
and 288 attendees. A description of GP-96 appears in the October
1996 issue of Scientific American

(http://www.sciam.com/WEB/1096issue/1096techbus3.html). This
second annual conference in 1997 reflects the rapid growth of
this field in which over 600 technical papers have been published
since 1992. For August 5, 1996 article in E. E. Times on GP-96
conference and August 12, 1996 article in E. E Times on John
Holland's invited speech at GP-96, go to
http://www.techweb.com/search/search.html

Topics at the Second Annual Genetic Programming Conference to be
held on July 13 - 16 (Sunday - Wednesday), 1997 at Stanford
University include, but are not limited to, applications of
genetic programming, theoretical foundations of genetic
programming, implementation issues, technique extensions,
cellular encoding, evolvable hardware, evolvable machine language
programs, automated evolution of program architecture, evolution
and use of mental models, automatic programming of multi-agent
strategies, distributed artificial intelligence,
auto-parallelization of algorithms, automated circuit synthesis,
automatic programming of cellular automata, induction, system
identification, control, automated design, data and image
compression, image analysis, pattern recognition, molecular
biology applications, grammar induction, and parallelization.
Papers describing recent developments are also solicited in the
following additional areas: genetic algorithms, classifier
systems, evolutionary programming and evolution strategies,
artificial life and evolutionary robotics, DNA computing, and
evolvable hardware.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBMITTING PAPERS: The deadline for arrival at the physical mail
address below of eight (8) paper copies of each submitted paper
is Wednesday, January 8, 1997. Papers are to be in
single-spaced, 10-point type on 8 1/2" x 11" paper with 1" margin
at top and 3/4" margin at left, right, and bottom. Note that
this new format for submitted papers is intended to resemble that
for the final camera-ready GP-97 papers. A4 paper may be used,
but not e-mail or fax. Papers are to contain ALL of the
following 9 items, within a maximum total of 9 pages, IN THIS
ORDER: (1) the paper's category (chosen from one of the following
seven alternatives: genetic programming, genetic algorithms,
classifier systems, evolutionary programming and evolution
strategies, artificial life and evolutionary robotics, DNA
computing, or evolvable hardware), (2) title of paper, (3) author
name(s), (4) author physical address(es), (5) author e-mail
address(es), (6) author phone number(s), (7) a 50-200 word
abstract of the paper, (8) the text of the paper (including all
figures, tables, acknowledgments, and appendices, if any), and
(9) bibliography. Review criteria will include significance of
the work, novelty, sufficiency of information to permit
replication (if applicable), clarity, and writing quality. The
first-named author (or other designated corresponding author)
will be notified of acceptance or rejection within approximately
six weeks after the paper submission deadline. The style of the
camera-ready paper will be announced, but will be similar to that
of the GP-96 Conference. Different numbers of pages will
probably be allocated to various accepted papers (e.g., at GP-96,
there were 9-page papers, 6-page papers, and 1-page poster papers
in the proceedings book). The deadline for final camera-ready
version of accepted papers will be announced and will be
approximately three weeks after notification of acceptance.
Proceedings books will be distributed at the conference (and, if
requested, mailed at no extra charge by 2-day priority mail to
registered conference attendees with U.S. addresses about two
weeks prior to the conference). By submitting a paper, the
author(s) agree that they will submit a final revised
camera-ready version of their accepted paper and that at least
one author will register, attend, and present each accepted and
published paper at the conference. -
