ACL-02 Call for Tutorial Proposals

The Program Committee of the 40th Annual Meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics invites proposals for the Tutorial Program for
ACL-02, to be held at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA,
USA, July 7th-12th, 2002 (see  http://www.ircs.upenn.edu/acl02/index.shtml
The tutorials for ACL-02 will be held on July 7th, 2002. 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.

TUTORIALS CHAIR

Hwee Tou Ng, DSO National Laboratories, 20 Science Park Drive, Singapore
118230, Republic of Singapore, nhweetou at dso.org.sg
<mailto:nhweetou at dso.org.sg>

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Proposals for tutorials should contain:
* A title and brief (less than 500 words) 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
January 11th, 2002.

Please email your proposals to nhweetou at dso.org.sg
<mailto:nhweetou at dso.org.sg> , with the subject line: "ACL-02 TUTORIAL
PROPOSAL".

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

PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS

Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by January 25th, 2002 and
must then provide descriptions of their tutorials for inclusion in the
conference registration material by March 29th, 2002. 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 as well as a
bibliography for the material covered in the tutorial by May 10th, 2002.

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 any
further expenses.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline for proposal: 11th January, 2002
Notification of acceptance: 25th January, 2002
Tutorial descriptions due: 29th March, 2002
