     Towards a Roadmap for Multimodal Language Resources and Evaluation

                      An ELSNET workshop at LREC 2002

                     Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain

                                June 2, 2002

Aim of the workshop:

   The aim of the proposed workshop is to bring together key players in
   the field of resources and evaluation in order to make a first step
   towards the creation of a broadly supported Roadmap for Language
   Resources, i.e. a broadly supported view on the longer, medium and
   shorter term needs and priorities. This activity should be seen in the
   context of ELSNET's other roadmapping activities, which aim at
   developing a technological roadmap for the whole field of Human
   Language Technologies.

   The purpose of such roadmaps is to give the R&D community an
   instrument to identify opportunities for concertation of their
   activities and better exploitation of possible synergies between
   players all over the world.

Scope of this workshop:

   As there is no standard model for roadmaps for resources and
   evaluation available, we will narrow the scope of this roadmapping
   workshop to a specific sub-area: Multimodal Language Resources and
   Evaluation. This will make our discussions more focused and concrete,
   and it will also allow us to exploit the fact that this workshop will
   take place the day after the workshop dedicated to Multimodal
   Resources and Evaluation of Multimodal Systems (MREMS) in general.

Topics to be addressed will include:

     * Summary of roadmap-relevant issues discussed at the MREMS workshop
       the day before (e.g. challenges)
     * Identification of key issues, their interdependencies, priorities,
       strategies, infrastructures
     * Discussion of appropriate models for the creation and presentation
       of roadmaps (e.g. extrapolation, Delphi methods, timelines,
       scenarios, consensus creation)
     * Creation of a first preliminary roadmap for multimodal resources
       and evaluation
     * Definition of further steps

Format of the workshop:

   It will be a full-day workshop, with a morning session from 8:30 to
   13:00 and an afternoon session from 14:30 to 19:00. The workshop is
   not intended to be a mini-conference, but as a real workshop aiming at
   a concrete result that should pave the way for further development of
   the resources roadmap. Sessions may include invited talks, a small
   number of refereed presentations, panel sessions, small working groups
   addressing specific questions.

Intended input:

   For this workshop we need forward-looking (position) papers that aim
   at identifying or interconnecting key issues and resources, major
   challenges, and strategies to reach our goals, as well as papers
   addressing meta issues (i.e. what is a roadmap, how to reach
   consensus, etc).

Intended output:

   A draft roadmap report that can be published on the web in order to
   elicit feedback, and in order to serve as an example for the creation
   of roadmaps for other subareas.

Submission details:

   Submissions must be in English, no more than 4 pages long and in
   single column format. Submissions should be sent electronically in
   plain text, MS Word or PDF to steven.krauwer at elsnet.org.

Calendar:

     * Submission deadline: 20 February 2002
     * Notification: 8 March
     * Camera ready papers due: 2 April
     * Workshop date: 2 June

Registration:

   The regsitration fee for the workshop is 90 EURO for conference
   participants and 140 EURO for others. The fee includes two coffee
   breaks and the proceedings of the workshop.
