                    Call for Tutorial Proposals


TUTORIALS CHAIR:

  Jennifer Chu-Carroll
  Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories


CALL:

The ANLP/NAACL Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program
for ANLP/NAACL 2000, to be held in Seattle, Washington, USA, April 29 - May
3, 2000.  The tutorials will be held on April 29th.

Each tutorial should be well-focused so that its core content can be
covered in a three hour tutorial slot (plus a 30 minute break). In
exceptional cases, 6-hour tutorial slots are possible as well.

There will be space and time for between four and six three-hour tutorials.

Submission Details:

Proposals for tutorials should contain:


 * A title and brief (< 500 word) content description of the tutorial topic.

 * The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the
   tutorial speakers, with one-paragraph statement of the speaker's(s')
   research interests and areas of expertise.

 * Any special requirements for technical needs (computer infrastructure,
   etc.)

Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII
(iso8859-1) text as soon as possible, but no later than October 28, 1999.

Please E-mail proposals to jencc at research.bell-labs.com, with the subject
line: "ANLP/NAACL 2000 TUTORIAL PROPOSAL".

Please Note: Proposals will not be accepted by regular mail or fax.


PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS:

Accepted tutorial speakers must provide descriptions of their tutorials for
inclusion in the Conference Registration material by January 10, 2000. The
description must be provided in three formats: a latex version that fits
onto 1/2 page; an ascii (iso8859-1) version that can be included with the
email announcement; an HTML version that can be included on the Conference
home page.

Tutorial speakers will provide tutorial materials, at least containing
copies of the overhead sheets used, by March 17, 2000.


FINANCES:

The current ACL policy is that tutorials are reimbursed at the following
rate: $500 per session plus $25 per registrant in the range 21-50 plus $15
per registrant in excess of 50. Note that this is per tutorial, not per
presenter: multiple presenters will split the proceeds, the default
assumption being an even split.  The ACL does not usually cover travel
expenses except where the presenter(s) are not independently attending the
conference and getting travel reimbursed.
