WORKSHOPS & TUTORIALS
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
University of Montreal
Montreal
Quebec
Canada
The Programme Commitee would like to receive proposals for tutorials
and workshops to be held in conjunction with the Joint COLING-ACL
Conference.
TUTORIALS
Tutorials will be held on Sunday 9th August, the day preceeding the
conference proper. Tutorials may address any topic of current or
possible future relevance to the field. The duration of each tutorial
should be approximately 3 hours. Those interested in presenting a
tutorial should send a 300-500 word proposal to Pete Whitelock,
pete at sharp.co.uk, describing the relevance of the subject matter to
the conference participants, an outline of the tutorial's content, and
a short statement of the proposer's relevant experience.
WORKSHOPS
Workshops will be held on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th of August,
immediately following the conference proper. Workshops will normally
be one day in length, but may extend to a second day if
required. Those interested in organising a workshop should send a
brief proposal to Pete Whitelock, pete at sharp.co.uk, describing the
topic of the workshop and its relevance to Coling, the approximate
number of participants expected and the likely duration of the
workshop, and a short statement of the proposer's relevant experience.
It is hoped that it will be possible to accomodate all proposals for
tutorials and workshops, but the room space available will place an
upper limit on the number. Since proposals will be accepted primarily
on a first-come first-served basis, proposers are encouraged to submit
as early as possible. Early submission is particularly important if
workshop presentations are to be refereed. In any event, no proposals
will be accepted after the final deadline of Dec 31st.

CMC/98
Second International Conference on
COOPERATIVE MULTIMODAL COMMUNICATION,
Theory and Applications
*********
Sponsored by the Universities of Brabant
Joint Research Organization (SOBU)
and the ACL Special Interest Group in Multimedia (SIGMEDIA)
Tilburg, The Netherlands, 28-30 January 1998

CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS
*********
The Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence Group at
Tilburg University, in collaboration with the Center for Research on
User-System Interaction IPO in Eindhoven, and the Department of
Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology, will host
the Second International Conference on the theory and applications of
Cooperative Multimodal Communication, CMC/98, to take place January
28-30, 1998.
The principal aim of the conference is to bring together researchers
involved in the design, implementation, and application of forms of
cooperative human-computer communication where natural language
(typed or spoken) is used in combination with other modalities,
such as visual feedback and direct manipulation.
The conference will focus on formal, computational, and user aspects
of building cooperative multimodal dialogue systems. Conference topics
include, but are not limited to:
* cooperativity in multimodal dialogue
* metaphors for human-computer interaction
* communicative acts in multimodal communication
* interacting with visual domain representations
* natural language interpretation in a multimodal context
* effective use of different media and modalities
* formal and computational models of dialogue context
* pragmatic concepts in human-computer dialogue
* the role of time in multimodal communication
* agent-based dialogue architectures
* user modelling
* approaches to dialogue management
The deadline for sumission of extended abstracts of papers has passed,
but propspective participants are invited to submit short abstracts
of posters to be presented at the conference, or descriptions of
multimodal systems to be demonstrated. Abstracts/descriptions should
be maximally 2 pages long and should be submitted before November 10.
Only electronic submission is be possible, in uuencoded compressed Latex
form, to be sent to tijn at win.tue.nl and to kievit at kub.nl (two copies).
A Latex style file to be used is available via the CMC/98 Web page
(see below).
Abstracts/descriptions will be reviewed for their appropriateness for
the conference by members of the program committee; authors will
receive notification of acceptance by December 1.
Accepted abstracts/descriptions will be published in the conference
proceedings. If the conference timetable allows, authors will be given
the possibility of a short, 10-minute plenary presentation of their work.
