Tenth European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI-98
August 17 - 28, 1998, Saarbruecken, Germany
FINAL CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The main focus of the European Summer Schools in Logic, Language and
Information is the interface between linguistics, logic and
computation. Courses, both introductory and advanced, workshops and
panel discussions cover a wide variety of topics within six areas of
interest: Logic, Computation, Language, Logic and Computation,
Computation and Language, Language and Logic. Previous summer schools
have been highly successful, attracting around 500 students from
Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important
meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers
interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and
Information. ESSLLI-98 is organized under the auspices of the European
Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI).
The ESSLLI-98 Programme Committee invites proposals for introductory
and advanced courses, workshops and panels for the 10th annual Summer
School on a wide range of topics in the following fields:
Logic Language Computation
Language and Logic Logic and Computation Language and Computation
In addition to courses, workshops and panels, there will be a Student
Session. A Call for Papers for the Student Session will be distributed
separately.
While the Programme Committee welcomes proposals in all of the above
areas, for advanced courses, workshops and panel discussions it would
especially like to encourage proposals that emphasize cognitive
aspects.
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: All proposals should be submitted by electronic
mail to the program chair, at esslli98 at dcs.warwick.ac.uk, in plain
ASCII text as soon as possible, but no later than June 15, 1997.
Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision no
later than September 1, 1997. Proposers should follow the guidelines
below while preparing their submissions; proposals that deviate
substantially will not be considered.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: Anyone interested in lecturing, organizing
a workshop or chairing a panel discussion during ESSLLI-98, please
read the following information carefully.
INTRODUCTORY COURSES: Introductory courses are central to the
activities of the Summer School. They are intended to equip students
and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic
methods and techniques, and to allow experienced researchers from
other fields to acquire the key competences of neighboring
disciplines, thus encouraging the development of a truly
interdisciplinary research community. The introductory courses in the
three basic disciplines should provide introductions to the field for
non-specialists (an introductory course on logic, for instance, should
address linguists and computer scientists, not logicians).
Introductory courses in the interdisciplinary fields, on the other
hand, can build on knowledge of the respective fields (an introductory
course in computational linguistics should address an audience which
is familiar with the basics of linguistics and computation).
Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the level of the
course as compared to standard texts in the area. For ease of
reference a list of standard texts will be made available
electronically.
Introductory courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers. They
consist of five sessions (a one-week course) or ten sessions (a
two-week course) each session lasts 90 minutes.
Timetable for Introductory Course Proposal Submission
Jun 15, 97: Proposal Submission Deadlines
Sep 1, 97: Notification
Nov 15, 97: Deadline for receipt of title, abstract, lecturer(s)
information, course description and prerequisites
Jun 1, 98: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material
ADVANCED COURSES: Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of
advanced Masters or PhD students. Proposals for advanced courses
should specify the prerequisites in some detail.
Advanced courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers. They consist
of five sessions (a one-week course) or ten sessions (a two-week
course) each session lasts 90 minutes.

Sep 1, 97: Notification
Nov 15, 97: Deadline for receipt of title, abstract, lecturer(s)
information, course description and prerequisites
Jun 1, 98: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material
WORKSHOPS: The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced
Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their
work. A workshop has a theme. At most one organizer is paid. The
organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop and give
a general introduction in the first session. They are also
responsible for the programme of the workshop, i.e., for finding
speakers.
Each workshop organizer will be responsible for producing a Call for
Papers for the workshop by November 15, 1997. The call must make it
clear that the workshop is open to all members of the LLI community.
It should also note that all workshop contributors must register for
the Summer School.
A workshop consists of five sessions (a one-week workshop) or ten
sessions (a two-week workshop). Sessions are normally 90 min.

May 15, 98: Deadline for Provisional Workshop Programme
Jun 1, 98: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready copy of workshop notes
Jun 1, 98: Deadline for Final Workshop Programme
PANEL DISCUSSIONS: A panel allows three to five people to present
their distinct views on a clearly specified set of issues or questions
of general interest. Panelists must have substantial experience with
the topic. Panel discussions have one chair, who should be a senior
researcher in the field, and who is responsible for the programme.
All panelists must register for the Summer School.
Panel sessions are usually organized as follows: the chair starts the
panel by introducing the topic and by providing appropriate background
material; next, the panelists provide short presentations followed by
an exchange between the panelists and the audience. The chair ends the
session with a summary statement. The discussion with the audience
must take precedence!
Panel discussions have max. 5 sessions (no two-week panels!) and each
session normally lasts 90 minutes.

FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS:
Please submit your proposal in the following format:
Name: --- Name(s) of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer/chair.
Address: --- Contact addresses of proposed
lecturer(s)/organizer/chair. Where possible, please include phone and
fax numbers.
Title: --- Title of proposed course/workshop/panel.
Type: --- State whether this is a workshop, a panel, an introductory
course, or an advanced course.
Section: --- Which of the six sections (Language, Logic, Computation,
Logic & Computation, Language & Computation or Language & Logic) does
the proposal belong to? Please just name one.
Description: --- A description of the proposed contents. Not more
than 150 words.
External --- State whether (and if so: how) you will be able to find
funding: external funding to subsidize your travel and
accommodation expenses.
Further --- Any further information that is required by the above
particulars: guidelines should be included here.
FINANCIAL ASPECTS: Prospective lecturers, workshop organizers and
panel chairs should be aware that all teaching and organizing at the
summer schools is done on a voluntary basis in order to keep the
participants fees as low as possible. Lecturers, organizers, and
chairs are not paid for their contribution, but are reimbursed for
travel and accommodation. (However, please note that the organizers
appreciate it if, whenever possible, lecturers/organizers/chairs find
alternative funding to cover travel and accommodation expenses.)
Workshop speakers and panelists are required to register for the
Summer School; however, workshop speakers and panelists will be able
to register at a reduced rate to be determined by the Organizing
Committee.
Finally, it should be stressed that while proposals from all over the
world are welcomed, the Summer School can only afford to reimburse
travel costs for travel from destinations within Europe to
Saarbruecken.
