Subject:  The Finite String
 
The FINITE STRING is the quarterly newsletter of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (ACL), and is a supplement to the journal
Computational Linguistics.  The function of the STRING is to provide a
forum for advertising events -- especially conferences and workshops
-  of interest to the ACL community.
 
Starting in 1996, the STRING is published as an html document,
available at the ACL website at Columbia University. The URL is:
 
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~acl/finstring.html
 
There is a European mirror at:
 
http://issco-www.unige.ch/eacl/acl/finstring.html
 
Organizers of conferences and workshops that are likely to be of
interest to the ACL membership are invited to submit a description of
the conference to the STRING. Details on submission are given below.
 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION
 
The following types of submission are appropriate for the FINITE
STRING:
 
- Announcements of meetings of potential interest to the membership of
the   ACL.
-  Summaries of research in progress - of particular interest would be
    perspectives on the activities at a particular institution.
-  Personal Notes (e.g., honors, moving, changes in status).
-  Any other items of potential interest to the ACL membership.
 
Submissions must be sent via email to the Finite String editor. No
hardcopy submissions will be accepted. Submissions should include the
"Subject:" line "Finite String Submission".
 
Particularly welcome will be documents that are already in HTML
format. Even more welcome will be short descriptive texts containing a
URL link to more complete descriptions elsewhere: for example, a title
and short description of a conference or workshop, plus a URL link to
the homepage for the meeting.
 
For submissions that are not in HTML format I will perform the
following editing operations:
 
  Add HTML commands for paragraph and line breaks where appropriate;
  Add HTML commands for lists where appropriate;
  Put strings that appear to be section headings into boldface;
  Add links for all http URLs.
  Add "mailto" links for all email addresses.
