+-------------------------------------------------------
| Why CICLing?
+-------------------------------------------------------

This conference is the fourth CICLing event. We consider the
following factors to define our identity:

      General interest. The conf covers nearly all topics related
      to computational linguistics. This makes it attractive for
      people from different areas and leads to vivid and interesting
      discussions and exchange of opinions.

      Informal interaction. It is intended for a small group of
      professionals, some 50 participants. This allows for informal
      and friendly atmosphere, more resembling a friendly party than
      an official event. At CICLing you can pass hours speaking with
      your favorite famous scientists who you scarcely could greet in
      the crowd at large confs.

      Excellent excursions. The conference is intended for
      people feeling themselves young in their souls, adventurous
      explorers in both science and life. Our cultural program often
      brings the participants to unique marvels of history and nature
      hidden from the ordinary tourists.

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Areas of interest
+-------------------------------------------------------

In general, we are interested in whatever helps, will help eventually,
or might help computers meaningfully process language data.

The conference is intended to the exchange of opinions between the
scientists working in different areas of the growing field of
computational linguistics and intelligent text processing. Our idea is
to get a general view of the state of art in computational linguistics
and its applications.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited by, the following
topics, as long as the topic is presented in computer-related or
formal description aspects:

Computational linguistics research:

        Computational linguistic theories and formalisms
        Representation of linguistic knowledge
        Morphology
        Syntax
        Semantics
        Discourse models
        Text generation
        Statistical methods in computational linguistics
        Corpus linguistics
        Lexical resources

Intelligent text processing and applications:

        Document classification and search
        Information retrieval
        Information extraction
        Text mining
        Automatic summarization
        Spell checking
        Natural language interfaces


Naturally, we welcome the works on processing any language, not
necessarily English, though major languages are of more general
interest. Note: when describing phenomena of languages other than
English, please be sure to make your discussion understandable for
people not familiar with this language.

+-------------------------------------------------------

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Submission guidelines
+-------------------------------------------------------

All accepted full and short papers will be published in a Proceedings
volume edited by Springer-Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series.

The full papers should not exceed 12 pages, though we encourage you to
keep it as short as possible (but not shorter!). If you really need
more pages, please let us know: gelbukh at cicling.org.

Short papers should not exceed 4 pages and should, if possible,
contain references to Internet sites where more detail on the work can
be found. Otherwise the format of the short papers is identical to
that of full papers.

Please strictly follow the format guidelines of Springer LNSC series,
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. We cannot guarantee
publication of any paper that does not follow these guidelines. Please
do not hesitate to ask any questions at gelbukh at cicling.org.

We accept only electronic submissions, which should be properly
formatted. To submit a paper, send both or any one of the following at
submission at cicling.org:

        PostScript or PDF file. PostScript usually better works
        with non-English characters.

        Source file in RTF or DOC. Or, file in LaTeX together with
        a PostScript or PDF file.

When sending us the camera-ready paper, please send all of the
following:

        Source file in LaTeX or RTF (not in DOC). If you use LaTeX,
        then also all necessary source files, such as EPS pictures
        and all style files different from llncs.cls (note that the
        use of custom style files is strongly discouraged).

        PostScript and PDF file, if you are unable to produce a PDF
        file. If you use LaTeX, then also DVI file.

        Copyright form (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/copyright.html)
        by email as a scanned fine fax resolution image.

See more info at www.CICLing.org/2004.

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Tentative schedule
+-------------------------------------------------------

The specific schedule will be posted in the Program section at the
website.

The following schedule is tentative.

There will be four working days and three days of excursions. You can
arrive on Monday and leave on Friday if you wish; then you will loose
two excursions.

February 15, Sunday:
        Excursion (to be announced).
February 16, Monday:
        Registration. Talks. Welcome party.
February 17, Tuesday:
        Talks.
February 18, Wednesday:
        Excursion (to be announced, probably to the Royal Palaces of
Seoul).
February 19, Thursday:
        Talks.
February 20, Friday:
        Talks and discussions.
February 21, Saturday:
        Excursion (to be announced).

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Welcome Party
+-------------------------------------------------------

The welcome party will be combined with the Poster and Demo section.
We will have some snack, maybe some wine. (No music, no real food,
even no tables, sorry: we consider official banquets waste of your
valuable time.) You will enjoy the informal atmosphere to speak with
each other and with the presenters of the posters and demos. You will
also have a chance to show and discuss your own programs (for this,
please let us know your software and hardware requirements).

+-------------------------------------------------------
| Hotel and local guide
+-------------------------------------------------------

We suggest that it is convenient for the participants to stay in the
same hotel, to facilitate informal interaction. Usually our
participants form ad-hoc informal companies in the hotel reception to
go to some restaurant, walking tours, etc.

We will try to provide free transportation from the recommended hotel
to the conf place. Also, we will try to get discounted rates for the
conf participants in this hotel.

Please notify us in advance if you wish to reserve a room in this
hotel. Please see http://www.CICLing.org/2004, Hotel, for specific info.

Also, at the website you will find the following information:

- How to get to the Hotel,
- How to get to the conf place,
- Useful local information: currency and credit cards, transportation,
  food museums, security.
