CALL FOR THEME PROPOSALS

ACL-99 Conference:
the 37th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics

University of Maryland
June 22--27 1999

The Association for Computational Linguistics would like to encourage
the submission of papers on substantial, original, and unpublished
research on all aspects of computational linguistics. A particular
aim for the 1999 conference is a broadening of both the thematic
coverage and geographical origin of submissions; to this end, we are
experimenting with a new format. Some proportion of the conference
will be given over to special sessions, somewhat like a special issue
of a journal, organised around themes proposed by members of the NLP
community. Our aim is to incorporate some of the intensity and
excitement of the traditional post-conference workshops, without
replacing those workshops---we expect, as has become traditional, that
there will also be a set of post-conference workshops that will remain
separate from the main meeting. This call invites proposals for
thematic sessions in accordance with the considerations below; a final
Call For Papers will be sent out in early November.

WHAT IS A THEMATIC SESSION?

We are soliciting proposals for themes that will provide 4--8 high
quality papers, typically forming one or two sessions in the main
conference. Proposers of accepted themes, who will become the chairs
of those sessions, will have similar responsibilities to those of
workshop organisers in terms of arranging reviewing and the delivery
of camera ready copy; however, the papers will be scheduled as part of
the main sessions and will be published as part of the main conference
proceedings. In terms of subject area coverage, we expect thematic
sessions will be closer to workshop topic areas in focus.

FORMAT OF THEME PROPOSALS

Please specify the following:

- Chair Details: Name, address, email, telephone number, fax
- Title
- Summary: At most one page describing the proposed subject area,
 citing evidence that there is sufficient interest in the area
 to generate enough high quality submissions to populate up to
 a half-day's worth of presentations.
- Proposed Review Committee: Each paper submitted should be
 reviewed by at least three people. As part of your proposal,
	you should suggest a potential review committee of around 12
 people who will be asked to serve on the committee if the
 proposal is accepted. Your list should demonstrate
 the spread of interest in the area in the community,
 encouraging both international participation and the
 participation of a broad range of researchers, including both 
	senior members of the community and graduate students. 

Theme proposals should be submitted to the email address provided
below. Informal enquiries as to what might work as a theme can also
be directed to this address in advance of the submission date.
Possible themes might be topics like: NLP and Data Mining; Word
Segmentation in Asian Languages; Reconciling Functional and Formal
Approaches to Syntax; Approaches to Concept to Speech. We provide
these examples only as indications of the variety of topic areas that
will be considered.
