CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

NAACL-HLT 2013 & ACL 2013 & EMNLP 2013

The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational
Linguistics (NAACL), The Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL), and ACL SIGDAT invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the NAACL-HLT, ACL, or EMNLP conferences in 2013. We
solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities.
Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues:

NAACL-HLT 2013 is the 14th Annual Meeting of the North American
Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics. It will be
held in Atlanta, GA, USA, June 9 - 14, 2013. The dates for the
NAACL-HLT workshops will be June 13 - 14. The webpage for NAACL-HLT
2013 is: http://naacl.org/.

ACL 2013 is the 51st Annual Meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (ACL). It will be held in Sofia, Bulgaria,
August 4 - 9, 2013. The ACL workshops will be held August 8 - 9. The
webpage for ACL 2013 is: http://www.acl2013.org/.

EMNLP 2013 is SIGDAT's annual Conference on Empirical Methods in
Natural Language Processing. It will be held in Seattle, WA, USA, in
October 2013. The exact dates and venue are to be determined. One day
of workshops are planned after a 3-day main conference, although
proposals for a longer associated event will be considered.
Proposals will be reviewed jointly by the workshop organizers for the
conferences.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Proposals for workshops should contain:

1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic
and content.
2. The desired workshop length (one or two days) and an estimate of
the number of attendees.
3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of
the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research
interests and areas of expertise.
4. A list of potential members of the program committee, with an
indication of which members have already agreed.
5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.
6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.
7. A note specifying which venue(s) (NAACL-HLT/ACL/EMNLP) would be
acceptable and/or preferable.

There will be a single workshop committee, coordinated by the workshop
chairs. This single committee will review the quality of the workshop
proposals. Once the reviews are complete, the workshop chairs will
work together to assign workshops to all three of the conferences,
taking into account the location preferences given by the proposers.

The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's
general policies on workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-support-general-policy.html,
the financial policy for workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-conf-financial-policy.html,
and the financial policy for SIG workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshops-Sig-financial-policy.html.

Please submit proposals in plain text in the body of an email to the
workshop organizers (naacl-acl-workshops-2013 at googlegroups.com) no
later than November 30, 2012, 23:59:59 UTC/GMT.

Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no later
than December 14, 2012.

Organizers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing
and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing
the camera ready workshop proceedings, and organizing the meeting
days. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines. In
particular, failure to produce the camera ready proceedings on time
will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the CD-ROM/USB &
unified author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot accept for
publication papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere,
although they are free to set their own policies on simultanous
submission and review.
Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timescales
for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the
preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each
conference. Suggested timescales for each of the conferences are given
below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule
unless absolutely necessary.
