ACL 2012: Call for System Demonstrations 
	July 9 - 11, 2012
	Jeju Island, Republic of Korea 

Important Dates: 
   March 12, 2012: Paper submissions due (submission deadline is 11:59pm
PST)
   April 23, 2012: Notification of acceptance
   May 7, 2012: Camera-ready copy due
   July 9-11, 2012: ACL 2012  

Invitation for Submissions: 
The ACL 2012 System Demonstration Program Committee invites proposals 
for the Demonstrations Program. We encourage both the submission of 
early research prototypes and interesting mature systems.
 
PLEASE NOTE: Commercial sales and marketing activities are not 
appropriate in the Demonstrations Program, and should be arranged 
as part of the Exhibit Program. 

Areas of interest include all topics related to theoretical and 
applied computational linguistics, such as (but not limited to) 
the topics listed for the conference paper submission: 
http://www.acl2012.org

The systems may be of the following kinds: 
   Natural Language Processing systems or system components
   Application systems using language technology components
   Software tools for computational linguistics research
   Software for demonstration or evaluation
   Development tools

We would like to strongly encourage demonstrations of industrial 
systems as long as they prove technologically innovative given 
the current state of the art of theory and applied research in 
computational linguistics. Each demo will be complemented by a 
poster at the conference and will be allocated 6 pages in the 
conference proceedings. 

Developers should outline the design of their system and provide 
sufficient details to allow the evaluation of its validity, 
quality, and relevance to computational linguistics. Pointers 
to web sites running a demo preview will also be helpful. 
Demo submissions should also clearly indicate if any computer 
equipment is expected to be provided by the local organizer. 
If so, please specify desired hardware platform, hard disk 
and memory capacity, operating system and other software 
needed in order to run the demo.  

Submission Information: 
Submissions may consist of 6 pages (including references) and 
should follow the guidelines for authors of the main conference
track, which is available on the conference website. All 
submissions must conform to the official ACL 2012 style 
guidelines announced on the conference website. 

Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper 
must not include the authors' names and affiliations. 
Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's 
identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", 
must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith (1991) 
previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these 
requirements will be rejected without review. 
The deadline for submissions is March 12, 2012 
(11:59pm Pacific Standard Time). Submission will be electronic 
in PDF format through the START 
system at: https://www.softconf.com/acl2012/demos/ 
 
Mentoring service: 
ACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from 
regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language 
of scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although 
able to read the scientific literature in English, have little or 
no experience in writing papers in English for conferences such as 
the ACL meetings. If you would like to take advantage of the service, 
please send your intent of submitting a System Demonstration paper and 
an abstract to Min Zhang (mzhang [at] i2r.a-star.edu.sg), 
by January 17, 2012, and upload your full paper by January 24, 2012, 
using the paper submission portal for the mentoring service below. 
Questions about the mentoring service should be referred to Min Zhang 
(mzhang [at] i2r.a-star.edu.sg).
