				Call

The ACL'2000 Program Committee invites proposals for Workshops
to be held in conjunction with the ACL'2000 Conference.

Areas of Interest

We welcome proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL community.
In addition to the traditional workshops areas, including both core
issues in CL and NLP applications  (such as MT, CLIR, speech related
applications, etc.), we encourage proposals for workshops focussing
on Asian language processing and fostering communication and
cooperation between Western and Eastern (Asian) CL communities.

Dates

The Conference will be held October 3-6; Workshop dates will be
scheduled before and/or after the conference.

Venue

Pre/Post Conference Workshop/Tutorials will be held at Hong Kong
University of Science and Technology (HKUST).


			    Reviewing

Reviewing of Workshop proposals will be managed by an international
Workshop Program Committee.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.
