The 5th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2011), November 25-27,
2011, Poznan, Poland
CALL FOR PAPERS - NEW DATES - LTC DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 31
We are pleased to inform you that the 5th Language and Technology
Conference (LTC'11), a meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics
and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland in
cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take
place on November 25-27, 2011.
Since very beginning the meetings of the LTC series continue to
address Human Language Technologies (HLT) as a challenge for computer
science, linguistics and related fields. Fostering language
technologies and resources remains an important mission in the
dynamically changing information-saturated world. We aim at
contributing to this mission and we invite you to join us in that at
LTC'11 in November 2011, traditionally held in Poznañ, Poland.
As a related event, the 2nd Less-Resourced Languages Workshop (a Joint
LTC-ELRA-FLaReNet--META-NET): "Addressing the Gaps in Language
Resources and Technologies" (LRL 2011) will be organised during the
LTC. The paper submission will respect the same procedures as for the
main conference. More about this event may be found at
www.ltc.amu.edu.pl.
LTC'11 is organized under the patronage of the Polish Presidency of
the EU Council and Mr Ryszard Grobelny, Mayor of Poznañ.

Detailed guidelines for the final submission of accepted papers will
be published on the conference web site before September 12, 2011.
All submissions are to be made electronically via the LTC'11 web
submission system (EasyChair). Acceptance/rejection notification will

present (mini) posters containing the abstract and the key ideas of
the paper. Posters will be presented by the organizers during the LTC
in the conference area. No extra fee will be charged for this form of
presentation. The poster size will be A1, horizontal.
(Notice. The Poster forum should not be confused with traditional
poster sessions. In particular, there will be no limited resentation
time and the posters do not have to be accompanied by the authors)
*Hyde park corner*
We intend to arrange "A Hyde Park Corner" for non-reviewed
presentations and positions. Limited number of presentations
(depending on the available space) will be accepted. The content must
meet the conference scope and aims. Both form and content must conform
to the Polish and International Law. Texts will be presented on the
sole responsibility of the authors/presenters and will not be
published or reproduced in the Conference documents.
*A book exhibition* is intended (exhibitor may address their proposals
by e-mail at ltc at amu.edu.pl). Also, registered participants are
invited to bring hard copies of their papers and books. We plan to
make special presentations of the achievements of the conference
participants, irrespective of whether they are directly related to the
conference topic.
*Tutorials* A tutorial program is under construction.
*Special events.* Besides the standard conference presentation of
papers, the Organizers are open to various kinds of initiatives
(expos, demos, satellite workshops, panels, awards). A program of
special events is now under construction. You are welcome to contact
us with your suggestions.
AWARDS FOR BEST STUDENT PAPERS
As at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Language and Technology Conferences (2005,
2007, 2009) special awards will be granted to the best student papers.
The regular or PhD students (on the date of paper submission) are
concerned. Co-authored papers will be considered provided that the
students' contributions exceeds 60% and that the main author(s) is
(are) student(s)(this fact must be documented by a written declaration
signed by all co-authors).
In 2005 the Jury, composed of the Program Committee members present at
the conference, awarded this distinction to:
Ronny Melz (University of Leipzig, Germany),
Hartwig Holzapfel (University of Karlsruhe, Germany),
Marcin Woliñski (IPI PAN, Warsaw, Poland).
In 2007 this distinction went to Daria Fis(er (University of
Ljubljana)
In 2009 two awards were granted: to Mahmoud EL-Haj (University of
Essex, UK) and Alexander Pak (LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay, France).
VISAS
Participants from some non-EC countries may need visas to enter the
Polish territory. Visa delivery is exclusively in competence of the
Visa Authorities of the Schengen Convention countries. If you have any
