    2003 EUROLAN Summer School on The Semantic Web and Language Technology

    Location: Bucharest, Romania Date: 28-Jul-2003 - 08-Aug-2003 Web Site: http://www.infoiasi.ro/~eurolan/eurolan2003/ Contact Person: Dan Cristea Meeting Email: dcristeainfoiasi.ro Linguistic Subfield(s): Computational Linguistics

    Meeting Description:

    The EUROLAN-2003 Program Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with EUROLAN-2003 summer school on The Semantic Web and Language Technology: Its Potential and Practicalities. One or two workshops will be held, each during three consecutive evenings, during the two weeks interval of the summer school. Areas of Interest We welcome proposals on any topic of interest within the school's main theme (for details, please consult the EUROLAN-2003 pages at http://www.infoiasi.ro/~eurolan/eurolan2003/).

    Submission Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, as plain text, rtf, pdf or ps files, no later than 24 February 2003. The subject line should be: EUROLAN WORKSHOP PROPOSAL. Please submit your proposals and any inquiries by e-mail to Dan Cristea at dcristeainfoiasi.ro.

    Reviewing Proposals will be reviewed by the EUROLAN-2003 Program Committee: Dan Cristea - ''Alexandru Ioan Cuza'' University, Iasi Jerry Hobbs - ISI, University of Southern California Nancy Ide - Vassar College, Poughkeepsie Dan Tufis - Romanian Academy, Bucharest Hans Uszkoreit - DFKI and University of Saarbruecken

    Proposals A workshop proposal should contain: Scientific part: - a title and a brief (about 500 word) content description of the workshop topic. Organizational part: - any special requirements for technical needs (computer infrastructure, etc.); - the program committee.

    Organization details EUROLAN-2003 will support the workshops with the necessary equipment and rooms. The workshops are expected to be organizationally and financially self-supported, including reviewing of received contributions, selection of papers, printing of the workshop proceedings. The workshop participants are supposed to be registered as regular EUROLAN students. The fee policy for the workshop participants is unspecified and left at the judge of the workshop organizers. It is recommended that the program committees of the workshops include some of the invited lecturers of EUROLAN-2003, so that the workshops could be better interconnected with the school's activities.

    Important Dates

    Submission Deadline for Workshop Proposal: February 24, 2003. Notification of acceptance of Workshop Proposal: March 3, 2003. Workshop date: during the interval July 28 - August 8, 2003.
