FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
THE ESSLLI'98 STUDENT SESSION August 17-28, 1998, Saarbruecken, Germany
Deadline: February 15th, 1998
http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/esslli/
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
We are pleased to announce the Student Session of the 10th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI'98) organized by DFKI and the University of Saarbruecken, Germany. and taking place at the University of Saarbruecken in August 17-28, 1998. We welcome submissions of papers for presentation at the ESSLLI'98 Student Session and to appear in the proceedings.
PURPOSE: This is going to be the third ESSLLI Student Session and as before, it will provide an opportunity for ESSLLI participants who are students to present their own WORK IN PROGRESS and get valuable feedback from other researchers and fellow-students. Presentation of creative and innovative ideas is encouraged.
The ESSLLI'98 Student Session welcomes submissions from students at any level, that is, from undergraduates (before completion of Master degree) as well as postgraduates (before completion of PhD degree). Note also that all authors of ESSLLI'98 papers have to be students, papers co-authored by non-students cannot be accepted.
As in the previous years, the ESSLLI'98 Student Session will consist of paper presentations. The ESSLLI'98 Student Session has its own timeslot in the ESSLLI'98 schedule: 60 minutes every day for two weeks, provided that a sufficient number of good quality papers is accepted. Each presentation will last 30 minutes (including 10 minutes of discussion).
REQUIREMENTS: The Student Session papers should describe original, unpublished work, completed or in progress that demonstrates insight, creativity, and promise. No previously published papers should be submitted. All topics within the usual six ESSLLI subject areas are of interest, without further restrictions. The areas are as follows: Logic, Linguistics, Computation, Logic & Linguistics, Logic & Computation, and Linguistics & Computation.
The accepted papers will be published in the ESSLLI'98 Student Session proceedings, which will be made available along with the readers for the ESSLLI'98 courses.
FORMAT OF SUBMISSION: Student authors should submit an anonymous extended abstract headed by the paper title, not to exceed 4 pages of length exclusive of references and a separate identification page (see below). Note that the length of the full papers will not be allowed to exceed 10 pages.
Since reviewing will be "blind", the body of the abstract should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors' identity (e.g., ``We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...'') should be avoided. Instead, use references like ``Smith (1991) previously showed ....''.
To identify each paper, a separate identification page should be supplied containing the paper's title, the name(s) of the author(s), the author(s)' affiliation(s) and complete addresse(s) a short (5 line) summary and a specification of the subject area into which the paper belongs. The subject areas considered are: Logic, Linguistics, Computation, Logic & Linguistics, Logic & Computation, and Linguistics & Computation.
MEDIA OF SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS: The student authors should submit their papers electronically to:
korbay@ufal.mff.cuni.cz
For any kind of submission a plain ascii text version of the identification page should be sent separately by email, using the following format:
title: <title> author: <name of first author> address: <affiliation and address of first author> ... author: <name of last author> address: <affiliation and address of last author> short summary (5 lines): <summary> subject area (one of): [ Logic | Linguistics | Computation | Logic&Linguistics | Logic&Computation | Linguistics&Computation ]
Please always submit the identification page in a separate message.
The submissions should be in one of the following formats: - self-contained LaTeX source (the most encouraged) - PostScript - ASCII text
ESSLLI'98 STUDENT SESSION INFORMATION: In order to present a paper at the ESSLLI'98 Student Session, every student author has to register as a participant at ESSLLI'98. However, authors of accepted papers will be eligible for a reduced registration fee.
