====== CALL FOR PAPERS 23rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics 8-12 July 1985 University of Chicago Chicago, Illinois This international conference ranges over all of computational linguistics, including understanding, generation, translation, syntax and parsing, semantics, natural language interfaces, speech understanding and generation, phonetics, discourse phenomena, office support systems, author assistance, translation, and computational lexicons. Its scope is intended to encompass the contents of an Applied Natural Language Processing Conference as well as one on Theoretical Issues in Natural Language Processing. In short, we are striving for comprehensiveness. The meeting will include presented papers, system demonstrations, and, on 8 July, a program of computational linguistics tutorials. Authors should submit, by 18 January 1985, 6 copies of an extended summary (6 to 8 pages) to William C. Mann, ACL85 Program Chairman, USC/ISI, 4676 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292, USA; (213)822-1511; ucbvax!mann@isib. The summaries should describe completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion and validation of the research reported, identify what is novel about it, and clarify its status relative to prior reports. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 8 March 1985. Full length versions of accepted papers prepared on model paper must be received, along with a signed copyright release notice, by 26 April 1985. All papers will be reviewed for general acceptability by one of the two panels of the Program Committee identified below. Authors may designate their paper as either an Applications Paper or a Theory Paper; undesignated papers will be distributed to one or both panels. Review Panel for Applications Papers: Timothy Finin University of Pennsylvania Ralph Grishman New York University Beatrice Oshika System Development Corporation Gary Simons Summer Institute of Linguistics Jonathan Slocum MCC Corporation Review Panel for Theory Papers: Robert Amsler Bell Communications Research Rusty Bobrow Bolt Beranek and Newman Daniel Chester University of Delaware Philip Cohen SRI International Ivan Sag Stanford University Those who wish to present demonstrations of commercial, developmental, and research computer programs and equipment specific to computational linguistics should contact Carole Hafner, College of Computer Science, Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston MA 02115, USA; (617)437-5116 or (617)437-2462; ucbvax!hafner.northeastern@csnet-relay. For planning purposes, we would like this information as early as possible, but certainly before 30 April. Local arrangements will be handled by Martha Evens, Computer Science Department, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, IL 60616, USA; (312)567-5153 or (312)869-8537; ucbvax!evens@sri-ai. For other information on the conference, on the 8 July tutorials, and on the ACL more generally, contact Don Walker (ACL), Bell Communications Research, 445 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960, USA; (201)829-4312; bellcore!walker. Please note that the dates of the conference will allow people to attend the National Computer Conference, which will be held in Chicago the following week. ======================================================================== PLEASE POST PLEASE REDISTRIBUTE
