Summer Institute on
"Creation and Exploitation of Annotated Language Resources"
30 July - 11 August 2001, Romania
http://www.infoiasi.ro/~eurolan2001/


Call for Workshop Proposals


The EUROLAN 2001 Program Committee invites proposals for Workshops
to be held in conjunction with the EUROLAN 2001 Summer Institute. We intend
to accept two workshop proposals, each workshop being held during three
consecutive evenings at the beginning of each week of the summer institute.
For details, please consult:
http://www.infoiasi.ro/~eurolan2001/program.html

Areas of Interest
We welcome proposals on any topic of interest within the institute's main
theme.

Submission
Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text, .rtf
or .doc files, as soon as possible, but no later than 8 December 2000. The
subject line should be: EUROLAN WORKSHOP PROPOSAL. Please submit your
proposals and any inquiries to Dan Cristea, dcristea at infoiasi.ro.

Reviewing
Proposals will be reviewed by the EUROLAN Program Committee:
Nancy IDE - Vassar College, Poughkeepsie
Dan CRISTEA - "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University, Iasi
Dan TUFIS - Romanian Academy, Bucharest
Laurent ROMARY - LORIA laboratories, Nancy
Daniel MARCU - University of Southern California

Proposals
Proposals for workshops should contain:
Scientific part:
- a title and a brief (about 500 word) content description of the workshop
topic.
Organizational part:
- any special requirements for technical needs (computer infrastructure,
etc.);
- the program committee.

Organization details
EUROLAN will support the workshops with the necessary equipment and workshop
rooms.
The workshops are expected to be organizationally and financially
self-supported, including reviewing of received contributions, selection of
papers, printing of the workshop proceedings.
The workshop participants are supposed to be registered as regular EUROLAN
students.
It is recommended that the program committees of the workshops include some
of the invited lecturers of EUROLAN 2001, so that the workshops could be
better interconnected with the institute's activities.

Important Dates
Submission Deadline for Workshop Proposal: December 8, 2000.
Notification of acceptance of Workshop Proposal:  December 15, 2000.

Call FOR PAPER


Fourth International ICSC Symposia on
SOFT COMPUTING AND INTELLIGENT
SYSTEMS FOR INDUSTRY
June 26-29, 2001
Paisley, Scotland, U.K.




General Information
PURPOSE OF SOCO/ISFI 2001
The  twin conferences,  Soft Computing (SOCO 2001)  and  Intelligent Systems
for Industry (ISFI 2001) are intended to cover the field of "soft computing"
from pure blue-sky research (SOCO) to prototypes and applications of soft
computing. Soft computing has become a term embracing artificial neural
networks, evolutionary algorithms, belief networks, fuzzy sets and logics,
etc. (A fuller list of topics appears below).

AIM OF SOCO 2001 AND ISFI 2001
SOCO 2001 aims to be of broad interest to engineers, computer scientists and
all who use such technologies. It will be a forum for the
Dissemination of new research in the field of soft computing
Introduction of application-oriented researchers to leading edge new
research.

ISFI 2001 will encourage practitioners and researchers from industry,
commerce, education  and governments to submit existing applications of soft
computing  either as technical papers or as demonstrations.  ISFI 2001 aims
to be a forum for the

Dissemination of results on new applications in this field
Introduction of pure research oriented personnel to applications of soft
computing.

Symposium Topics (SOCO'2001)
Soco'2001 will include contributions on long term research (theory
development, enhanced approaches, formal methods comparisons, applications,
etc.) in the area of soft-computing. Contributions are sought in areas based
on the list below, which is indicative only.
	Neural Networks
	Fuzzy Logic
	Rough Sets
	Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Computing
	Chaos Theory
	Al and Expert Systems
	Probabilistic Reasoning, belief nets
