Real Life: Virtual Experiences
New Connections for Museum Visitors
CIMI-MCN 2001
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
October 24-27, 2001
<http://www.mcn.edu/mcn2001/>http://www.mcn.edu/mcn2001/
For the year 2001, the Museum Computer Network's annual meeting will be a
special event. MCN is partnering with the CIMI Institute - the leading
provider of training in digital museum applications - to host a three-day
exploration of how new technologies can and will be used to affect
visitors' experiences in the museum environment.
Focused Events that Give Participants Something to Take Home
The goal of this conference is to create environments - through workshops,
plenary sessions and roundtables - where participants can engage each other
and learn methodologies they can take home to their own museum. It's a
chance to learn what is possible and how it can be done. The event will be
organized around several tracks that will focus intensively one of the
aspects of applying technology to enhance visitors' experiences.
How Many Ways Can you Wire a Museum?
It's no surprise that the museum in 2001 will be a much more wired (or
wireless!) place. Museums today are investigating a variety of applications
of technology that will affect the experience museum-goers have when they
visit our spaces, such as:
hand-held devices that visitors use while touring an exhibition
in-gallery kiosks
smart architecture
rich, non-gimmicky multimedia
web-based resources designed to enhance pre- or post-visitor experiences
CIMI-MCN 2001 will examine site-based computing - both as it exists today
and is imagined in the future - and the technological possibilities for
enhancing and extending the experience of a museum visitor.
You are invited to participate in CIMI-MCN 2001 by submitting a proposal
for a presentation or workshop that fits into one of the tracks listed
below. Proposals will be reviewed by a program committee to ensure a
tightly focused, high quality conference program. The call for
participation closes on April 30, 2001, and the preliminary program will be
announced on June 15, 2001. Selected conference proceedings will be
published in the winter issue of Spectra. Presenters who want to be
included in the Spectra conference proceedings must have full papers to MCN
by August 15, 2001.
Conference Themes for CIMI-MCN 2001 include:
Technology Affecting the Visitor's Experience
Business Strategies
Infrastructure and Technical Questions
Social Implications
Evaluation

INFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
ICoS-3
Siena, Italy, June 18-20, 2001
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kohlhase/event/icos3/
(Submission deadline: March 15, 2001)
ABOUT ICoS
----------
Traditional inference tools (such as theorem provers and model
builders) are reaching new levels of sophistication and are now widely
and easily available. A wide variety of new tools (statistical and
probabilistic methods, ideas from the machine learning community) are
likely to be increasingly applied in computational semantics. Most
importantly of all, computational semantics seems to have reached the
stage where the exploration and development of inference is one of its
most pressing tasks - and there's a lot of interesting new work which
takes inferential issues seriously.
The Workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS) intends to
bring researchers from areas such as Computational Linguistics,
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Logic together, in
order to discuss approaches and applications of Inference in natural
language semantics.

Final Call For ACL-2001 Workshop Proposals
Workshop Chair: Rebecca Bruce (Univ. of North Carolina at Asheville)
The ACL/EACL'01 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops
to be held at ACL/EACL'01. ACL/EACL'01 will be held in Toulouse,
France, July 6-11, 2001 with workshops being held July 6-7, 2001.
ACL/EACL'01 workshops provide organizers and participants with an
opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic within
computational linguistics. Often, workshops concentrate on specific
topics of technical interest (e.g., parsing technologies), particular
areas of application for language processing technologies (e.g., NLP
applied to IR), or community-wide issues that deserve attention (e.g.,
standardization of resources and tools). We welcome proposals on any
topic that is of interest to the ACL community, but we particularly
encourage proposals that broaden the scope of our community through
the consideration of new techniques or applications.

International ACL conferences are usually held at the end of July.
In keeping with the ACL policy of rotating conference venues,
we seek proposals from Asia.
The proposal submission process is in two stages. First, draft proposals are
sought from prospective proposers. Based on the evaluation of the draft
proposals, selected proposers will be invited to submit full proposals. The
intent of a request for draft proposals is to minimize the labor and costs
associated with the production of full proposals.
Bids for Local Arrangements Chair can include suggestions for General
Chair, which must be someone other than the Local Arrangements Chair
but could be at the same institution.
The General Chair will be responsible for overseeing operations of
the conference, including working with the Executives of the ACL and
the NAACL and collaborating with the Local Arrangements Chair to develop
the budget and registration materials; working with the Program and
Local Arrangements Chairs to develop the schedule and program;
working with the ACL Executive Board to appoint supporting chairs to
obtain outside funding, publicize the conference, and organize
workshops, tutorials, student events, and demonstrations (none of
these supporting nominations need to be included in the proposal);
and coordinating the activities of the various chairs and their
committees.
The Local Arrangements Chair will be responsible for the activities
such as arranging meeting rooms, equipment, refreshments, housing,
on-site registration, participant e-mail access, security for
equipment, the reception, the banquet, and working with the General
Chair, the ACL, and the NAACL to develop the budget and registration
materials.
The ACL Executive Board will select the Program Committee Chair, who
will be responsible for the processes of soliciting, receiving, and
reviewing submissions; selecting the papers to be presented at the
conference; notifying authors of acceptance or rejection; and
developing the conference program.
Draft proposals are due on 15 April 2001. Draft proposals are evaluated
competitively by the ACL Executive Committee. Selected proposers will be
informed electronically before 15 May 2001. Full proposals are due on 15
June 2001.
Draft proposals should include:
- - Location (accessibility, conference venue, hotels, student dorms)
- - Local CL Community
- - Proposed Date
- - Meeting Space (space for plenary sessions, tutorials, workshops,
posters, exhibits, demos and small meetings)

Workshop Outline
The "Semantic Web", a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee, is used to denote the
next evolution step of the Web. Associating meaning with content or
establishing a layer of machine understandable data would allow automated
agents, sophisticated search engines and interoperable services, will
enable higher degree of automation and more intelligent applications. The
ultimate goal of the Semantic Web is to allow machines the sharing and
exploitation of knowledge in the Web way, i.e. without central
authority, with few basic rules, in a scalable, adaptable, extensible
manner. With RDF as the basic platform for the Semantic Web,
a multitude of tools, methods and systems have just appeared on the
horizon. The goal of the workshop is to share experiences about these
systems, exchange ideas about improvements of existing tools and creation
of new systems, principles and applications. Also an important
goal is to develop a cooperation model among Semantic Web developers, and
to develop a common vision about the future developments.

Preliminary Call for Papers
NAACL 2001 Workshop on Adaptation in Dialogue Systems
co-chairs: Cindi Thompson and Eric Horvitz
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers
investigating the application of learning and adaptation to dialogue
systems, both speech and text based.
In this workshop we encourage papers on either theoretical or applied
research in adaptation for dialogue, that includes learning procedures
as well as decision making methods aimed at dynamically reconfiguring
dialogue behavior based on the context. We would also like to explore
techniques that allow a dialogue system to learn with experience or
from data sets gathered from empirical studies. We welcome
submissions from researchers supplementing the traditional development
of dialogue systems with techniques from machine learning, statistical
NLP, and decision theory.
We solicit papers from a number of research areas, including:
-Use of machine learning techniques at all levels of dialogue, from
speech recognition to generation; from dialogue strategy to user
modeling
-Adapting to the user as a dialogue progresses
-Dialogue as decision making under uncertainty
-User and user group modeling
-Use of corpora in developing components of dialogue systems,
including issues in annotation
-Evaluation of adaptive dialogue systems
-Comparison of different techniques in applying adaptive techniques to
dialogue
We also hope to include a session for the demonstration of working
systems, as time permits. The demonstration sessions will be open to
anyone who wishes to bring their adaptive conversational systems for
demonstration to other members of the workshop. Presenters are asked
to submit a paper that is specifically directed at a demonstration of
their current systems.
A web site that will provide additional information on the
workshop as it becomes available is located at:
