COLING-ACL '98
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
17th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING'98)
and
36th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL'98)
August 10-14, 1998
Universite de Montreal
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
http://coling-acl98.iro.umontreal.ca
On behalf of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics
(ICCL) and the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), we are
pleased to announce a major joint conference -- COLING-ACL'98 -- which will
be held on the campus of l'Universite de Montreal between August 10-14,
1998. The RALI laboratory of the Computer Science and Operations Research
Department of l'Universite de Montreal will be hosting the first North
American COLING since the joint COLING-ACL'84 was held at Stanford
University in 1984.
We welcome submission of papers describing substantial, original, and
unpublished research contributions on ALL aspects of computational
linguistics. Program subcommittees will be organized around 16 main areas,
as follows.
* [L] Linguistic issues & associated formalisms
o L1. Morphology & phonology
o L2. Syntax & parsing
o L3. Semantics, pragmatics, cognition
o L4. Discourse & dialogue
* [R] Linguistic resources & computational methods
o R1. Corpus processing & empirical methods
o R2. Lexical resources & computational lexicography
o R3. Computational paradigms (symbolic, stochastic, neural,
hybrid)
o R4. Languages, tools & environments for lingware development
* [A] Applications
o A1. Form checking (spelling, terminology, grammar, style)
o A2. Summarization, abstraction, generation
o A3. Text and speech machine translation & translation aids
o A4. Multimodal NLP (speech & dialogue processing, integration of
speech, text, gestures)
o A5. Text and speech information retrieval and categorization,
electronic libraries
* [P] Projects
o P1. Large R&D cooperative projects
o P2. Validation & testing programmes
o P3. Small scale innovative research projects
o P4. Others (contributions not falling in above categories)
Authors will be asked to identify the areas (a maximum of two) to which
their submission corresponds. Contributions that do not fall into any of
the above areas but are nevertheless relevant to the field are also
welcome. All contributions will be reviewed by at least three experts.
Submissions may be of two different types: 1) regular papers; and 2)
project notes. Regular papers should report the results of original
completed research. Project notes, on the other hand, should describe
ongoing research or demonstrate a system. Regular papers will be presented
in 3 parallel sessions that do not overlap with the presentation of project
notes.
LANGUAGES
In order to encourage multilingualism within our research community,
authors will be allowed to use one supplementary page to write up their
abstract in one or more additional languages.
REQUIREMENTS
All papers should describe original work, completed or in progress rather
than merely planned, and clearly indicate the current state of advancement
of the work. No previously published papers should be submitted.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed provided it is
explicitly indicated on the identification page.
FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION
The maximum allowable length is 7 pages for regular papers and 5 pages for
project notes, plus one optional page for abstract(s) in other language(s).
Please use A4 or US letter format and set margins so that the text lies
within a rectangle of 6.5 x 9 inches (16.5 x 23 cm). Use classical fonts
such as Times Roman or Computer Modern, 11 to 12 points for text, 14 to 16
points for headings and title, centered page numbers in footers, and 2
columns after title and abstract. Figures may range across columns.
Since reviewing will be blind, a separate identification page is required.
It should include:
* submission type (regular paper, project note [+demo]),
* title
* author(s) name(s)
* affiliation(s)
* complete addresses
* abstract in English
* 1 or 2 topic areas
* submission to other conferences ('none' or list)
* and author of record (for correspondence).
Authors' names and affiliations should be omitted in the paper itself.
Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity (e.g., "We
previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...") should be avoided. Instead use
references like "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991)...".
Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without
review.
While submissions must be sent in hardcopy, we encourage authors to
use our style files and templates for preparing them (available on
COLING-ACL'98 Web site). This will help ensure that the requirements
described above (including the separate identification page) are met,
and that the effort required to format the final version will be
minimized.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
All submissions (hardcopy and electronic) and questions regarding
submissions should be sent to:
COLING-ACL'98 submissions

Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
THEME
According to Thomas Malone and Kevin Crowston, coordination is the act of
managing interdependencies between activities. Some of the issues to be
explored in this area are developing approaches to analyse coordination in
different kinds of systems, designing coordination tools and languages, and
applying the notion of coordination to distributed and parallel processing
systems.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are using in one way or another the notion of coordination
in the development of information systems. Of particular interest are papers
highighting the interdisciplinary nature of coordination and those
describing "coordination-in-the-large" activities.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Programming languages, tools and systems
* Software architectures
* Groupware
* CSCW
* Design patterns for coordination (coordination patterns)
* Workflow management
* Collaboration and cooperation environments
* Agent communication and coordination
* Mobile computing
* Internet and intranet technology
* Industrial applications and case studies (eg. the potential of
coordination in the development of the Information Society, Electronic
Commerce, etc.).
The papers must clearly show how the concept of coordination was used, what
were the benefits gained but also the problems encountered, if any.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Submission deadline: 15 March 1998
* Notification of acceptance: 15 May 1998
* Camera-ready copies: 5 June 1998
