Subject: Workshop on Writing Systems
FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
"From Letter to Sound"
Third International Workshop on Writing Systems
University of Cologne, Germany, September 23-24, 2002.
This workshop is the third in a row of international meetings dealing with
questions of writing systems. The two predecessors took place at the Max
Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (Netherlands) under the
titles 'What Spelling Changes' (1997) and 'Writing Language' (2000). The
workshops offer a forum of discussion between researchers from different
fields of writing research like theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics,
computational linguistics or language education, coming from different
countries and working on different languages.
The aim of this workshop is to focus on the letter-to-sound-perspective.
Especially welcome are contributions to the following subjects:
- How does a theory of orthography have to look like that takes written
forms as basic (as opposed to a theory that derives written forms from
spoken forms)?
- Which aspects of the psycholinguistics of reading are capable of
explaining the form of writing systems?
- Which aspects of learning to read are informative for a theory of
orthography?
- How can reading be modelled? Both psycholinguistic models and
computational models for text-to-speech-synthesis may reveal the exact
relation between reading and writing.
Submission deadline: March 28, 2002
Notice of acceptance: May 17, 2002
INVITED SPEAKERS:
Charles Perfetti (University of Pittsburgh) (sponsored by the Flemish
Funding Agency for Scientific Research, Scientific Research
Community on the theme 'Psycholinguistics: the Processes of Reading
and Writing')
Richard Venezky (University of Delaware)
PROGRAM COMMITTEE:
Martin Neef (German Department, University of Cologne)
Anneke Neijt (Dutch Department, University of Nijmegen)
Beatrice Primus (German Department, University of Cologne)
Dominiek Sandra (Dutch Department, University of Antwerp)
FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS:
Authors should submit abstracts of max. 2 pages for 30 minute
presentations, with 15 minutes discussion. Please submit abstracts
electronically (rtf, pdf or Word) to neef at uni-koeln.de
PARTICIPATION:
In addition to the speakers, we kindly invite researchers who want to
attend the workshop without presenting a paper themselves. The latter
participants should register for the workshop at the address above.
Information on lodging and travel directions, the program and the abstracts
of the accepted papers will be circulated among the participants
electronically well before the workshop.

CALL FOR PAPERS
PorTAL - PORTUGAL for NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
URL: http://label.ist.utl.pt/portal
Faro, Portugal
June 23rd-26th, 2002
PorTAL - PORTUGAL for NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING will be
held at FARO (Algarve, Portugal), in June 23-26, 2002.
PorTAL follows the FracTAL conference, held in Besançon
(France), December 1997, and VexTAL held in Venice (Italy),
November 1999.
SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
Papers are invited on substantial, original, and
unpublished research on all aspects of natural language
processing related areas, including, but not limited to:
* spoken and written language analysis and generation;
* pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, morphology
and lexical acquisition;
* linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of
language;
* language-oriented information retrieval and
information
extraction;
* knowledge acquisition;
* corpus-based and statistical language modelling;
* machine translation and translation aids;
* natural language interfaces and dialogue systems;
* message and narrative understanding systems;
* computational lexicography;
* Internet applications;
* evaluation of systems.
We welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest to
the NLP community, but we particularly encourage
submissions that broaden the scope of our community through
the consideration of practical NLP applications. We also
invite people from industry working on NLP to send us their
submissions and offer an opportunity to discuss and
demonstrate their latest applications.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers should describe original work, completed or
in progress, rather than merely planned, and clearly
indicate the current state of advancement of the work. No
previously published papers should be submitted.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed
provided it is explicitly indicated on the identification
page.
1. Papers should not exceed 3000 words(including
references), must contain a 5 lines abstract, and must be
submitted in PDF format. All papers will be submitted
electronically. Authors are requested to first register
their submission by January 15, 2002 (details coming soon
on the Submission Procedure Web page).
2. The reviewing of papers will be blind. Hence the paper
should not include the authors' names and affiliations.
Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's
identity should be avoided.
3. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program
committee and published both in print and electronically
in the conference proceedings. All accepted papers must
be presented at the conference by at least one of their
authors.
4. Identification information will be put in a separate file
consisting of:
Title of the paper:
Author(s):
Affiliation(s):
E-mail(s):
Abstract:
Keywords (5):
5. Submission Procedure
You are requested to first register your submission by
January 15, 2002. This can be done by filling out an
electronic form that will be soon accessible at the Paper
Submission Web page.
Submitted papers and identification information must be sent
by January 21st 2002 (details coming soon).
Accepted papers will be notified by March 1st, together with
the comments of the reviewers.
The final version of the papers will be prepared in LaTeX by
April 1st, for publication in the Workshop proceedings. The
stylesheet will be circulated in due time.
Note that all workshop participants must register as
participants of PORTAL. The early registration fees apply to
authors of accepted papers.
