ACM Digital Libraries '96 is an international conference
devoted to advancing the state-of-the-art in digital libraries.
The ACM DL series continues the sequence of Texas
conferences: DL'94 in College Station and DL'95 in Austin.
The leaders of those events are helping with DL'96
organization and program efforts.  The meeting will be co-
located with Hypertext '96 in 1996 and with ACM SIGIR '97
the following year.  DL '96 will immediately follow Hypertext
'96 at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, Maryland.  The site is
located near the Washington D.C. Metro and provides easy
access to the many attractions in the Baltimore-Washington
area.
 
The DL series is sponsored by ACM, through SIGIR and
SIGLINK.   Other ACM SIGs have joined in cooperation,
including: SIGAda, SIGART, SIGBIO, SIGCAPH, SIGCOMM,
SIGCUE, SIGDA,  SIGMIS (formerly SIGBIT), and SIGOIS.

CNI (Coalition for Networked Information),
IEEE CS (IEEE Computer Society)
KSI (Knowledge Systems Inc.),
LITA (Library and Information Technology Association),
LoC (Library of Congress),
NAL (National Agricultural Library),
NLM (National Library of Medicine),
SLA (Special Libraries Association).
 
The Conference will include approximately 20 research papers,
several panels,  two keynote addresses, posters, and three
sessions devoted to the working groups of the Digital Library
Forum.  Short tutorials will be offered on Wednesday March 20

             AISB96 Workshop: Multilinguality in the lexicon
 
                          FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
                            1st November 1995
 
 
Dates:      1st - 2nd April, 1996
Venue:      University of Sussex, Brighton, UK
Organisers: Dr Lynne Cahill, University of Sussex
            Dr Roger Evans, University of Brighton
 
Outline
 ------
 
This workshop aims to bring together active researchers with an interest
in the issues surrounding multilingual aspects of lexicons.
Traditionally, multilingual issues in the lexicon have primarily been a
concern of applied NLP research, notably machine translation and more
recently multilingual generation; the recent upsurge of work on more
theoretical aspects of lexical representation has focussed on a
monolingual view. However, these two strands are now beginning to come
together: theoreticians are branching out into multilingual issues, and
applied researchers are beginning to exploit some of the newer
developments in lexical representation. This workshop provides an
opportunity for lexical practitioners of all sorts to focus on the
particular problems and questions associated with multilingual lexical
representation.
 
Papers are invited on any aspects of multilinguality in the lexicon
including but not limited to: pragmatics, semantics, syntax, morphology,
phonology, orthography; machine translation, generation, understanding;
bilingual and multilingual issues; related and unrelated languages;
issues of representation and access. In addition, we invite proposals to
demonstrate working systems.
 
 
Submission
  --------
 
Extended abstracts (up to 5 A4 pages) and demonstration proposals (up to
2 A4 pages) should be submitted to Lynne Cahill either electronically
(our preference) in plain ASCII text or LaTeX, or hard copy (three
copies). Submission deadline is 18th December. Authors will be notified
of acceptance by 15th January. Final papers will be due 1st March.
 
 
AISB Workshops
  ------------
 
This workshop is part of the AISB96 workshop series, comprising 10 or so
independent workshops on various aspects of AI, running simultaneously
over 1st-2nd April 1996. While the technical programme of each workshop
is separate and self-contained, registration and accommodation will be
organised centrally through the AISB96 organisers (contact details

outside of the technical sessions (mealtimes, evening etc.).
