Sophia Antipolis, France
27-29 June, 1996
____________
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Third Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics, organized by the CNRS
Laboratoire "Langues, Langage et Cognition", Universiti de Nice-Sophia

of a collection of papers based on the presentations at the colloquium,
a sequel to the volume entitled 'Studies in Afro-Asiatic Grammar',
currently in preparation.
Abstracts are invited for thirty minutes talks in all areas of syntax,
morphology and phonology. Abstracts should be no less than one page and
may not exceed two pages. Send three anonymous copies of the abstracts
and one copy with the name of author(s) and institution(s). Include a
card containing the following information: name of author(s), title of

(if available).
Abstracts must be received by February 1, 1996. E-mail or Fax
submissions are accepted. Send only one anonymous abstract in this case.
All abstracts will be anonymously reviewed. Send all material to:

Call for Participation
ACM DL'96 --- Digital
Libraries '96
First ACM International Conference on
Digital Libraries
Bethesda, MD
March 20-23, 1996
ACM Digital Libraries '96 is an international conference
devoted to advancing the state-of-the-art in digital
libraries. The ACM DL series continues the sequence of
Texas conferences: DL'94 in College Station and DL'95 in
Austin. The leaders of those events are helping with DL'96
organization and program efforts. The meeting will be co-
located with Hypertext '96 in 1996 and with ACM SIGIR
'97 the following year. DL '96 will immediately follow
Hypertext '96 at the Hyatt Regency
in Bethesda, Maryland. The site is located near the
Washington D.C. Metro and provides easy access to the
many attractions in the Baltimore-Washington area.
The DL series is sponsored by ACM, through SIGIR and SIGLINK. Other ACM SIGs
have joined in cooperation, including: SIGAda, SIGART, SIGBIO, SIGCAPH,
SIGCOMM, SIGCUE, SIGDA, SIGMIS (formerly SIGBIT), and SIGOIS.
In-cooperation sponsors include:
ASIS (American Society for Information Science), CNI (Coalition for Networked
Information), IEEE CS (IEEE Computer Society), KSI (Knowledge Systems Inc.),
LITA(Library and Information Technology Association), LoC(Library of Congress),
NAL (National Agricultural Library), NLM (National Library of Medicine),
SLA (Special Libraries Association).
Three sessions at the conference have been reserved for the working groups of
the Digital Library Forum. These groups are studying aspects of
interoperability in digital libraries. During the sessions, members of the
groups will describe the objectives of the groups, describe progress to
date, and lead discussions of the issues. The exact list of topics has not
been finally chosen, but will likely include open architectures for digital
libraries, archiving and digital preservation, and the National Computer
Science Technical Reports Library.
Technical Program
We seek papers, posters and videos on the one hand--and proposals for tutorials
and workshops on the other hand--on topics related to Digital Libraries,
including but not limited to the following list:
* architectures, reference models, standards
* authoring and electronic publishing
* cataloging, indexing, preserving
* collaborative environments
* collecting, capturing, filtering
* distributed data, knowledge and information
representation and systems
* economic and social implications and issues
* education, learning and related applications
* evaluation methods and user testing
* handling of graphics, GIS, multimedia information
* hypertext and hypermedia systems (especially including
WWW) and support
* information storage and retrieval
* intellectual property rights
* modeling and simulation
* networked information discovery
* networking systems, protocols, security
* publisher plans and concerns
* user interfaces
* visualization, browsing, searching
Papers
Technical papers present original reports of innovative and substantive new
work that has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers
are refereed by a pool of reviewers for the conference proceedings, published
by ACM. Because of the tight time schedule, designed to ensure that the latest
results will be discussed, there will be little time for revision, so
submissions should be in near-final form.
Important Dates:
Oct. 17, 1995 --- Papers due to Program Chair
Dec. 1, 1995 --- Authors notified about PC decisions
Jan. 1, 1996 --- Papers due to Program Chair
Submissions: Papers must be written in English and contain a maximum of 6000
words (excluding figures). If possible, use 10 point Times Roman, single-
spaced, with no more than a total of 12 pages. The proceedings will be
printed in typical ACM 2-column format, and articles will have a limit of 10
pages. If submissions are made with paper, 6 copies must be provided. If
submissions are made electronically, the Subject line must say DL96 PDF
Submission and Adobe's Portable Document Format must be used.
Send submissions to arrive by October 17, 1995 to:

Tutorials
Tutorials will precede the conference and serve to introduce attendees to
principles in the field, develop bridges between the computer science and
library/information science communities, or examine advanced topics in depth.
Tutorials will be scheduled for 2.5 hour slots on Wednesday afternoon and
evening, March 20, 1995. Tutorials are invited on topics such as the following:
Principles and practices of library science (Abstracting, Indexing and
Classification)
User behavior and information needs analysis (User Needs and Services)
Information Retrieval and Hypertext (Searching,Browsing)
Open System Design for the Internet
Submissions should include a 200-word abstract, a 1-page topical outline of the
course content, and describe course objectives, intended audience, and the
qualifications of instructor(s). Proposers are encouraged to contact the
tutorials chairperson to discuss planned proposals. Proposals will be evaluated
on the basis of background of the instructor(s) and the contribution of the
tutorial to the overall conference program.
Submit four copies of the proposal by October 17, 1995 to:

Posters
Poster presentations allow researchers to present late-breaking results or
significant work in progress. Posters will be refereed. Poster sessions allow
authors and conference participants to discuss the research in detail in
one-on-one or small group settings.
Submissions should consist of an extended abstract of at most two pages
emphasizing the problem, what was done or is being done, and why the work is
important. Include: title, name and affiliation of the author(s) and complete
contact information. Note that the extended abstracts of the posters will be
published in the conference proceedings.

Videos
Videos allow researchers and developers to illustrate the dynamics of
operational and prototype systems. Videos will be refereed and selected videos
will be shown at a session during the conference so authors can verbally
annotate their work.
Submit videos that are a maximum of 5 minutes in length. VHS format (NTSC) is
required for review, and Hi-8, SVHS, or Betacam SP are the formats required for
final submissions. It is likely that an author-supplied or conference-prepared
digital video version will be prepared also and made available, so be sure that
suitable releases can be provided for all submissions. Also, please prepare a
one-page summary of the video which will be published in the
conference proceedings.
Submit two copies of the videotape and written summary by October 17, 1995 to:

Workshops
Workshops provide an opportunity for up to 25 participants to discuss issues in
both research and applied areas for one day. Workshop attendance is normally by
invitation based on attendees' response to a call for workshop participation.
Organizers should draft a call describing the workshop and submit a three-page
proposal containing: an outline of the theme and goals of the workshop, a
description of the intended audience, an overview of activities planned for the
workshop, estimates of number of participants, and a brief description of the
organizer backgrounds and experience.
