Call for Papers
(No.1. May-30-01)

COLING is the most prominent conference in the field of Computational
Linguistics. In its 40 plus years of existence, the biennial COLING has
been
a productive forum for scholars all over the world to exchange original
research papers on a broad range of topics in computational linguistics.
COLING is an international forum for discussion and presentation
representing
the current state of the art and determining standards of computational
linguistics research. 

In 2002, Taiwan will host the 19th COLING conference. This will be the
first
time that COLING is held outside Europe, North America, or Japan. It
will be a
chance for participants to experience the energy behind Taiwan?s vibrant
growth in knowledge technology, as well as the natural beauty of Formosa
and
its rich cultural heritage.

Submitted papers should describe original work, completed or in
progress,
rather than merely planned, and clearly indicate the current state of
advancement of the work. No previously published papers should be
submitted.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed provided it is
explicitly indicated on the identification page. 

In line with the practice established in previous COLING conferences,
authors will be asked to place their submission in one of two
categories: 
1.Regular papers, of not more than seven pages, presenting results of
original complete research, and 
2.Project notes, of five pages or less, describing ongoing research or
demonstrating a system.

Method of Submission:
- Complete a Paper Submission Form
(http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/coling2002/). 
  This form may be updated up to the deadline for paper submissions
(February
  15, 2002). 
- For your paper use the layout and format of papers described in
  the LATEX or Microsoft Word Style sheets, as well as ACL Bibliography
Style
  sheets.  (For more details on paper submission see
  http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/coling2002/).

- Hard copy papers are also accepted.  
Further details will be available later.
