                    EACL-03: LAST CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

                 Proposal submission deadline: October 1, 2002

               The EACL-03 Organizing Committee invites proposals
                     for workshops to be held at EACL-03.

        EACL-03 will take place in Budapest, Hungary, April 12-17, 2003
     with workshops being held on Sunday and Monday, April 13 and 14, 2003.

    * Workshop topics

     EACL-03 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 EACL
     community, but we particularly encourage proposals that broaden the
     scope of our community through the consideration of new or
     interdisciplinary techniques or applications.

     We also encourage topics that are specific to the EACL community such
     as resources and tools for European or Mediterranean languages.

    * Workshop format

     Traditionally, workshops are shaped as mini-conferences, but we
     encourage proposers to consider other formats that exploit the fact
     that smaller settings allow for more interaction between participants
     (discussions, panels, working sessions). The default duration of a
     workshop is one day, but longer or shorter durations can be proposed
     (but should be justified).

     Please note that capacity limitations may cause us to request the
     organizers to shorten a workshop or to merge it with another workshop
     in a related area.

    * Financial guidelines

     The workshop organisers will benefit from the standard logistic
     facilities provided for the conference e.g., room, equipment, coffee,
     proceedings. Any additional cost should be covered by the organisers
     (especially invited speakers, PC meetings etc.).

    * Registration fees

     Participants pay a registration fee which is dependent on the duration
     of the workshop. Participants not registered for the main conference,
     pay a higher fee.

    * Proposals

     Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate
     the quality and importance of the topic, and the size of the
     interested community. Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain the
     following information:
       * A title and brief description of the workshop topic.
       * The target audience and projected number of participants along
         with support for the projected count. Supporting evidence could
         include a list of potential submitters, a list of conferences that
         contained papers on the proposed topic, the number of new
         companies focused on this topic, or recent funding initiatives
         that address this topic.
       * Resource needs such as room size and number of days. Include any
         special requirements for technical support (computer
         infrastructure, etc.).
       * The name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and
         webpage of each chair. In addition, indicate the chairs'
         background in the workshop area.
       * A preliminary programme committee

     Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text,
     as soon as possible but no later than OCTOBER 1, 2002.

     The subject line should be: "EACL-03 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL".
     Please e-mail proposals and any inquiries to the Workshop Chair,
