		ACL 2001 CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS


The Program Committee of the 39th Annual Meeting of the Association
for Computational Linguistics invites proposals for the Tutorial
Program for ACL 2001, to be held in Toulouse July, 6th-11th, 2001 (see
http://www.irit.fr/ACTIVITES/EQ_ILPL/aclWeb/acl2001.html). The
tutorials for ACL 2001 will be held on July 8th, 2001.  Each
tutorial should be well-focused so that its core content can be
covered in a three-hour tutorial slot (including a 30 minute
break). However, in exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are
possible as well.  There will be space and time for at most four
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 a one-paragraph statement of
       the speaker's(s') research interests and areas of expertise.

     * Any special requirements for technical needs (display
       projector, computer infrastructure, etc.) Proposals should be
       submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII (iso8859-1) text as soon
       as possible, but in any case no later than January 12th, 2001.

       The subject line should be: "ACL 2001 TUTORIAL PROPOSAL".

PLEASE NOTE: PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY REGULAR MAIL OR FAX.

   Please submit your proposals and address any inquiries to
   acl2001-tutorials at lettres.unige.ch.
   This forwards to both Tutorials Co-Chairs.

PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS

Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by January 26th,2001 and
must then provide descriptions of their tutorials for inclusion in the
conference registration material by March 30th, 2001. The description
should be 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; and an HTML version that can be included on the
conference home page.


Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial materials, at least containing
copies of the overhead transparencies to be used as well as a
bibliography for the material covered in the tutorial by May 11th,
2001.



FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The current ACL policy is that tutorials are reimbursed at the
following rate: US$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 any further expenses.
