                        May 10-14, 1997

Papers are being solicited for a special track on Natural Language
Engineering at the 10th International Florida Artificial Intelligence
Research Symposium
(FLAIRS-97). Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Spoken language understanding and production
- Text processing
- Language generation
- NL engineering for Web applications
- Integration of NL with other modalities

PROGRAM COMMITTEE
 C. Ball (Georgetown University)
 N. Correa (Syracuse Language Systems)
 U. Hahn (Freiburg University)
 S. Luperfoy (MITRE) (co-chair)
 R. MacMillan (MITRE Corporation)
 E. Maier (DKFI, Germany)
 D. Novick (OGI/Eurisco)

SUBMISSIONS
Interested authors should submit electronic version of their manuscripts in
either plain text or postscript (not encoded) by October 30, 1996. If
electronic submission is not possible 5 copies of hardcopy manuscripts
received by October 30, 1996 will also be accepted for review. We are
planning a session for paper presentation as well as a posters session.
Full paper submissions should be no more than 15 double spaced pages in
length; extended abstracts for poster sessions can be up to 4 pages,
including figures. Please include a cover page with title, author(s)
name(s), street and email address(es), and affiliation(s).  In case of
multiple authors, all correspondence will be sent to the first author
unless otherwise requested. Authors desiring anonymous review of their
sumbissions by the program committee can achieve that option by simply
avoiding references to self or organization in all but the attached title
page.

Papers will be refereed and those accepted for presentation will appear in
the conference proceedings.  Notification of acceptance will be mailed
around January 15, 1997.  Authors of accepted papers will be expected to
submit the final camera-ready copies of their full papers by February 15,
1997 for publication in the conference proceedings.

Following FLAIRS-97, a special issue of the NL Engineering Journal is
planned with extended versions of selected papers from the special track.
Those papers will go through an additional review process. The issue will
be co-edited by S.Luperfoy and W.Zadrozny.

Submission should be mailed to
