Final Call for Workshop Proposals (and deadline extension)

The COLING Organising Committee invites proposals for workshops to be
held at COLING 2004

University of Geneva, Switzerland
http://www.issco.unige.ch/coling2004/

Main conference: August 23rd-27th, 2004
Workshops: August 28th-29th, 2004

Following the regular program of the main conference, workshops on
current topics in Computational Linguistics will be held on 28th-29th,
August 2004, at the conference venue. Workshops will normally last one
day, but may extend to a second day if required. Proposals by
qualified individuals interested in organising a workshop are
solicited.

Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, as soon as possible,
but no later than December 30, 2003. The subject line should be:
"COLING 2004 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL". Those interested in organising a
workshop should send a brief proposal (in plain text) to:

Michael Hess (hess at cl.unizh.ch), describing

* A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and
  content, including a description of the proposed workshop format,
  regarding the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited
  talks, panels, and general discussion.

* relevance to COLING

* the target audience

* approximate number of participants expected

* tentative schedule for the workshop (at least half a day, up to two days)

* a calendar of deadlines for submission, notification, and camera-ready
  copy (which must be compatible with COLING deadlines). Notice that
  workshop organisers are responsible for providing a camera-ready
  version of the workshop proceedings to the COLING organising committee
  by June 25 at the latest.

* programme committee for the workshop

* relevant experience of the organiser(s)

* the name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of
  each chair

* facilities required (overhead projector, beamer, computer, etc.)

The goal of the workshops is to provide an opportunity to focus intensively
on a specific topic within computational linguistics/NLP. The workshop
should bring together researchers and practitioners from different
communities to discuss recent results and trends in the field.

The workshop proposers will be responsible for the organisational aspects
(e.g. workshop call preparation and distribution, review of papers,
notification of acceptance, coordinating workshop participation and content,
assembling of the workshop proceedings, etc.).

Proposers are encouraged to submit as early as possible to ensure that
appropriate arrangements can be made to accommodate all workshop
sessions, and to provide adequate time for proposal evaluation and
feedback.

Finances: Workshops are expected to be financially
self-supporting. The conference organisers will establish workshop
registration rates so as to provide the room, audio-visual equipment,
Internet access, snacks for breaks, and the workshop proceedings.  The
registration fee will be waived for invited speakers at workshops (up
to a maximum of two invited speakers) but no remuneration or other
reimbursement of expenses will be covered from the workshop
registration fees.
