Meeting Description:

SEESA sponsors a conference welcoming all disciplines (including
linguistics) focusing on the study of the Southeast European region,
including the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, 
Romania, Albania, Greece, and Turkey. 

The SEESA Organizing  Committee is now accepting proposals for papers 
that treat some aspect of the Southeast European region, including the 
successor states of the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, 
Greece, and Turkey. All disciplines are welcome, including but not 
restricted to, anthropology, cultural studies, education, history, language, 
literature, linguistics, and sociology, among others. Papers addressing 
issues that cross national and disciplinary boundaries are particularly 
welcome.

Papers will be 20 minutes in length, with 10 minutes beyond that for
questions and discussion.

Individuals may submit paper proposals by sending a title and a 1-page
abstract of the proposed paper, together with name, address, and contact
information (phone and e-mail) of author(s).  The deadline for submitting
all  proposals is  January 15, 2005.   The program  will be announced by
February 20, 2005.

Meeting Description
Call for papers TIA 2005
Terminology and Artificial Intelligence

Rouen, April 4-5, 2005

Important dates 
- Submission deadline: January 10, 2005
- Notification of acceptance: February 8, 2005
- Camera-ready paper: March 4, 2005

Due to the ever-increasing amount of machine-readable information,
institutions, companies and laboratories are facing new problems related to
scale effects and the diversity of technical texts. Text has always been
considered as an important vehicle for information and knowledge, but it
also contains information that is crucial in a decision making process, in
scientific or technical domains.

Access a large amount of document, identify the relevant documents, archive
them, distribute them in a targeted way, identify useful knowledge in the
text, compare and confront textual content -- these are amongst others, the
tasks that terminology can help exerting.  As a result, to bring out
innovative solutions, terminology as a discipline should establish
cooperative links with related areas, including linguistics and natural
language processing, artificial intelligence learning, information sciences
and knowledge engineering. Terminology and the other disciplines mutually
take enrichment in each other: terminology builds resources that can be
used by these disciplines in return. They are able to propose theories,
methods and tools for the building of terminological resources (index,
terminologies, thesaurus, ontologies).  The TIA Conference aims at
promoting convergence and synergy among such disciplines and terminology in
order to develop and evaluate corpus-processing methodologies. More
specifically, pluridisciplinary approaches should be emphasized.

Topics of Interest 

You are invited to submit an original paper with a theoretical, practical
or methodological issue on the following topics (the list is non exhaustive):

* Theories of meaning and terminology regarding textual linguistics and
ontologies
* Methods for automatic recognition of terminology evolution (diachronic
aspects)
* Automatic and manual acquisition of terminology from corpora 
* Methods for automatic terminology structuring (identification of
relationship between terms, domain recognition)
* Use of terminological resources for building and structuring ontologies
* Methods and criteria for evaluation and validation of terminologies
* Reusability and standardization, comparison and fusion of terminology
resources
* Problems in multilingual terminology
* Applications of computer-based terminology (semantic web, document
indexing and filtering, information retrieval, document classification,
technological development monitoring, question-answering).

The 2005 TIA Conference follows TIA'95 (Villetaneuse), TIA'97 (Toulouse),
TIA'99 (Nantes), TIA '01 (Nancy), TIA'03 (Strasbourg) and is organized by
the TIA Working Group (http://tia.loria.fr/). TIA was founded in 1994 under
the aegis of AFIA, now AFIA/GdR-13 working group and includes researchers
in linguistics, artificial intelligence and natural language processing.
Submitted papers (in French or in English) will be reviewed by an
international program committee composed of members of the TIA Working
Group and of invited experts (three reviews). Accepted submissions will be
considered as full papers or as a poster.
