EACL 2009 CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 12th Conference   
of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational   
Linguistics (EACL 2009), to be held in Athens, Greece, from March 30   
to April 3, 2009. The selected tutorials will be given on the Monday   
and Tuesday preceeding the main conference (March 30 and 31).

Proposals for tutorials on all topics of natural language processing,  
speech processing and information retrieval are sought. We  
particularly welcome (1) tutorials which cover advances in newly  
emerging areas not previously covered in an (E)ACL related tutorial,   
or (2) tutorials which provide introductions into related fields  
which  are potentially relevant for the CL community (e.g.  
bioinformatics,  human language processing, emerging machine learning  
techniques).

The remuneration for tutorials will be computed as follows:
• €484 for up to 20 people
• plus €23 per person for registrants 21 to 50
• plus €16 per person for registrants greater than 50

The minimum remuneration will be €484 or the cost of one economy  
airline ticket to the conference, whichever is higher. As has been ACL  
policy, the remuneration is per tutorial, not per presenter; multiple  
presenters will split the proceeds, the default assumption being an  
even split.

These figures are euro conversions to the nearest euro of dollar  
amounts quoted in
