Call for Participation
in
The Second European Workshop on Natural Language Generation
6th-8th April 1989
University of Edinburgh
Scotland
PURPOSE AND SCOPE: Following on from the successful First European
Workshop on Language Generation held at Abbey de Royaumont, near
Paris, in January 1987, this workshop aims to bring together
researchers in a rapidly growing field. Papers are invited on
substantial, original and unpublished research on all aspects of
natural language generation, including, but not limited to, text
planning, the use of discourse and hearer models in generation, the
generation of referring expressions, and the use of linguistically
well-founded grammars in generation.
SUBMISSIONS: Contributors interested in participating in this workshop
are requested to submit three copies of an extended abstract not to
exceed five double-spaced pages (exclusive of references) in a font no
smaller than 10 point (elite). The title page should include the
title, the name(s) of the author(s), complete addresses (including
email address if available), a short (5 line) summary, and a
specification of the topic area. Send to:
