Meeting Description:

The International Conference for Computational Semantics (IWCS) invites
proposals for one-day or half-day workshops, to be held in conjunction with
the 2017 IWCS conference. IWCS 2017 will take place on 20-22 September 2017 at
LIRMM, Universite de Montpellier, France. Workshops will take place on the day
immediately preceding the conference: 19 September 2017.

The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in
any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, and representation of
meaning in natural language, whether this is from a lexical or structural
semantic perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and statistical approaches
to computational semantics, and everything in between.


Call for Workshop Proposals:

12th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS)
LIRMM & Universite de Montpellier, France
20th-22nd September 2017 (workshops on 19th)
http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017/workshops/index.html

Proposal deadline: 10 February 2017

Topics of Interest:

Topics of interest for the workshops include all those topics relevant to the
main conference (see the IWCS 2017 website for further information).

Submission Information: 

Proposals for workshops should contain:

- A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and
content.
- An estimate of the audience size.
- The names, postal addresses, and email addresses of the organizers, with
one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise.
- A list of potential members of the program committee, with an indication of
which members have already agreed.
- A description of special requirements for technical needs.

Proposals should be submitted by email to iwcs2017 at gmail.com as soon as
possible, but no later than 10 February 2017.

Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no later than 17
February 2017.

After Acceptance:

Organizers of accepted workshops must provide descriptions of their workshops,
for inclusion in the conference registration material, by 1 April 2017. The

on the conference home page. These descriptions should be mailed to:
iwcs2017 at gmail.com

The final workshop materials must be received by the IWCS organizers by 4
September 2017. This includes the detailed proceedings (camera-ready versions
of papers), which will be made available electronically, as well as a short
workshop program, which will be printed together with the main conference
program.

Finances:

Workshops must be financially self-supporting. The IWCS organizers will
establish registration rates so as to provide the room, audio-visual
equipment, internet access, snacks for breaks, and the workshop proceedings.
