    Call for Workshop Proposals

    The COLING Organising Committee invites proposals for workshops to be
    held at COLING 2004

    University of Geneva, Switzerland
    http://www.issco.unige.ch/coling2004/

    Main conference: August 23rd-27th, 2004
    Workshops: August 28th-29th, 2004

    Following the regular program of the main conference, workshops on
    current topics in Computational Linguistics will be held on 28th-29th,
    August 2004, at the conference venue. Workshops will normally last one
    day, but may extend to a second day if required. Proposals by
    qualified individuals interested in organising a workshop are
    solicited.

    Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, as soon as possible,
    but no later than December 15, 2003. The subject line should be:
    "COLING 2004 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL". Those interested in organising a
    workshop should send a brief proposal (in plain text) to:

    Michael Hess (hess@cl.unizh.ch), describing

    * A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and
      content, including a description of the proposed workshop format

    * relevance to COLING

    * the target audience

    * approximate number of participants expected

    * tentative schedule for the workshop (at least half a day, up to two days)

    * a calendar of deadlines for submission, notification, and camera-ready
      copy (which must be compatible with COLING deadlines)

    * programme committee for the workshop

    * relevant experience of the organiser(s)

    * the name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of
      each chair

    * facilities required (overhead projector, beamer, computer, etc.)

    The goal of the workshops is to provide an opportunity to focus intensively
    on a specific topic within computational linguistics/NLP. The workshop
    should bring together researchers and practitioners from different
    communities to discuss recent results and trends in the field.

    The workshop proposers will be responsible for the organisational aspects
    (e.g. workshop call preparation and distribution, review of papers,
    notification of acceptance, coordinating workshop participation and content,
    assembling of the workshop proceedings, etc.).

    Proposers are encouraged to submit as early as possible to ensure that
    appropriate arrangements can be made to accommodate all workshop
    sessions, and to provide adequate time for proposal evaluation and
    feedback. No submissions will be accepted after the final deadline of
    December 15, 2003.

    Deadlines for workshops proposals

    * Electronic submission of proposals: no later than December 15, 2003
    * Notification to proposers: January 16, 2004
