                ACL 2000 Call for Tutorial Proposals

 The Program Committee of the 38th Annual Meeting of the Association
 for Computational Linguistics invites proposals for the Tutorial
 Program for ACL 2000, to be held in Hong Kong from October 3rd
 through 6th, 2000 (see http://www.cs.ust.hk/acl2000/ ). The
 tutorials for ACL 2000 will be held on 1-2 October 2000.

 Each tutorial should be well-focused so that its core content can
 be covered in a three-hour tutorial slot (including a 30 minute
 break). However, in exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are
 possible as well.

 There will be space and time for at most four three-hour tutorials.

Submission Details

 Proposals for tutorials should contain:

   * A title and brief (< 500 word) content description of the
     tutorial topic.
   * The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email
     addresses of the tutorial speakers, with a one-paragraph
     statement of the speaker's(s') research interests and areas
     of expertise.
   * Any special requirements for technical needs (display
     projector, computer infrastructure, etc.)

 Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII
 (iso8859-1) text as soon as possible, but in any case no later than
 25 April 2000.

 The subject line should be: "ACL 2000 TUTORIAL PROPOSAL".

 PLEASE NOTE: PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY REGULAR MAIL OR FAX.

 Please submit your proposals and address any inquiries to
 acl2k-tutorials at cogs.susx.ac.uk; this forwards to both Tutorials
 Co-Chairs.

             acl2k-tutorials at cogs.susx.ac.uk

Practical Arrangements

 Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by 10 May 2000, and
 must then provide descriptions of their tutorials for inclusion in
 the conference registration material by 1 July 2000. The
 description should be in three formats: a latex version that fits
 onto 1/2 page; an ASCII (iso8859-1) version that can be included
 with the email announcement; and an HTML version that can be
 included on the conference home page.

 Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial materials, at least
 containing copies of the overhead transparencies to be used, by
 20 August 2000.

Financial Information

 The current ACL policy is that tutorials are reimbursed at the
 following rate: US$500 per session plus $25 per registrant in the
 range 21-50 plus $15 per registrant in excess of 50. Note that this
 is per tutorial, not per presenter: multiple presenters will split
 the proceeds, the default assumption being an even split. The ACL
 does not usually cover travel expenses except where the
 presenter(s) cannot get them through the usual mechanisms: for ACL
 members we assume that they would be coming to the meeting anyway.
 For people who are not ACL members, we would expect to pay for
 costs that they cannot get reimbursed elsewhere.

Important Dates

   Submission deadline for proposal:                25 April 2000
   Notification of acceptance:                      10 May 2000
   Tutorial descriptions due:                       1 July 2000
   Tutorial course material due:                    20 August 2000
   Tutorials date:                                  1-2 October 2000
