CALL FOR PAPERS
The Universities of Manchester, Salford, Toulouse-Le Mirail and Paris X
announce
The Fifth Manchester Phonology Meeting
Thursday 8 May to Saturday 10 May 1997
We are pleased to announce our Fifth Manchester Phonology Meeting.
For the past five years, this meeting has been one of the important
venues for phonologists from all corners of the world.
In an informal atmosphere, we discuss a variety of topics,
ranging from the phonological description of languages to the
acquisition of phonology by children. We, therefore, invite papers
from phonologists, phoneticians, psychologists, sociolinguists,
computational linguists - in short, anyone interested in exploring
current models of phonological theory and the (cognitive,
phonetic, sociological, computational...) implications of such work.
Talks on a variety of languages are welcome.
The conference venue is the Hulme Hall lecture suite at the University
of Manchester, whose campus is located only a couple of
miles south of the city centre. We will send out
information about inexpensive local hotels (rooms from L20.00
sterling per night, incl. breakfast), so that participants can
arrange their own accommodation. Unfortunately, there will
be no crash space.
The Meeting will consist of both plenary papers and parallel
sessions. Speakers will have 45 minutes for plenary papers and
30 minutes for parallel sessions. All papers will be followed by
a 10-minute discussion period.
Prospective speakers should e-mail a title and a short abstract no
later than Monday 3 March 1997 to:
Wiebke.Brockhaus at man.ac.uk
Please assume that you have 30 minutes for your paper. The organisers
will choose plenary papers from the abstracts submitted and will
inform authors in early April. Abstracts should be no longer than ten
lines of text (12pt, 2.5 cm margins). We would prefer abstracts to be
included in normal e-mail messages. If that is not possible, please attach
your abstract as a Word or WordPerfect file.
If you are unable to submit your abstract by e-mail, please post or
fax it to:
Dr Wiebke Brockhaus
Department of German
University of Manchester
Oxford Road
Manchester M13 9PL
UK
Fax: +44 (0)161 275 3031
There is no formal reviewing procedure at the moment, but the
organisers reserve the right to set up a panel for anonymous reviewing,
should the number of abstracts received make this necessary.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at the above
address (tel. +44 (0)161 275 3180) or via e-mail at
Wiebke.Brockhaus at man.ac.uk.

CALL FOR PAPERS
RIAO'97 CONFERENCE
Computer-Assisted Searching on the Internet
June 25-27, 1997
McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
***********************************************************
Brief Description and Themes:
Every third year the Centre de Hautes Etudes Internationales
d'Information Documentaire (CID) of Paris, France, along with various
international affiliates, organizes the RIAO conference (RIAO is the French
acronym for Computer-Assisted Information Retrieval). RIAO97 will be the
fifth conference in the series. RIAO85 was held in Grenoble, France; RIAO88
in Cambridge, MA, USA (MIT); RIAO91 in Barcelona, Spain; and RIAO97 in New
York City (Rockefeller University).
RIAO conferences, all of which have had printed proceedings, have the
special feature of incorporating both scientific papers and innovative product
demonstrations. Both the product demonstrations and the scientific papers
(which are often accompanied by prototype system demonstrations) are subject
to a rigorous selection process. While commercial displays, as such, are not
promulgated, the mix of scientific expertise and state-of-the-art industrial
development lends itself to a critical examination of both with the potential
for advances in product development and sponsorship as well as the initiation
of lines for further, critical research investigations.
RIAO97 focuses on new problems in information retrieval, filtering, and
dissemination resulting from the recent profusion and extensions of networks.
In particular, we seek to bring together search specialists and web-based
media specialists to consider how searching can best be accomplished in the
context of a proliferation of web sites, content formats, browsing modalities,
amount of data accessible, and number of user accesses. Toward these ends the
following topics are among those sought for inclusion in conference papers and
demonstrations:
A: Rapid indexing and retrieval engines; automatic abstracting
B: Linguistic tools in information retrieval
C: Information retrieval from heterogeneous formats
- Identifcation of the same document in different contexts
(different languages, structures, versions, etc.)
- Unification of documents from heterogeneous formats; data-wharehousing
- Data-mining and knowledge discovery in large databases
- Search strategies in heterogenous contexts
D: Strategies for technology watch on the Web; content addressable electronic
mail, newsgroups, and other WWW systems
E: Architecture
- How to exploit large bandwidth for information retrieval
- Distributed multi-agent architectures
F: Imaging
- Content characterization; manual and automatic description methods
- Search strategies
G: Sound
- Sound content characterization
- Automatic indentification of sound type: speech, music, ...
- Spoken language recognition; word (boundary) identification
H: Multimedia Web interfaces: Iconic, navigational, and speech interfaces
I: Content-based compression techniques
J: Data security problems: copyright protection, internet crime
K: Web-related international conventions and policies
