                  PROGRAM and CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

  Towards a Roadmap for Multimodal Language Resources and Evaluation

                   An ELSNET workshop at LREC 2002

                  Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain

                 Sunday, June 2 2002 (14:30 - 20:00)

 Aim of the workshop:

The aim of the proposed workshop is to bring together key players
in the field of resources and evaluation in order to make a first
step towards the creation of a broadly supported Roadmap for
Language Resources, i.e. a broadly supported view on the longer,
medium and shorter term needs and priorities. This activity
should be seen in the context of ELSNET's other roadmapping
activities (see http://www.elsnet.org/roadmap.html), which aim at
developing a technological roadmap for the whole field of Human
Language Technologies.

The purpose of such roadmaps is to give the R&D community an
instrument to identify opportunities for concertation of their
activities and better exploitation of possible synergies between
players all over the world.

 Scope of this workshop:

As there is no standard model for roadmaps for resources and
evaluation available, we will narrow the scope of this
roadmapping workshop to a specific sub-area: Multimodal Language
Resources and Evaluation. This will make our discussions more
focused and concrete, and it will also allow us to exploit the
fact that this workshop will take place the day after the
workshop dedicated to Multimodal Resources and Evaluation of
Multimodal Systems (MREMS) in general.
