Meeting Description:

This workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL) has a broad scope and
embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply
restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes (but is
certainly not limited to) approaches that have been called simplified
language, plain language, formalized language, processable language, fragments
of language, phraseologies, conceptual authoring, language generation, and
guided natural language interfaces.


Call for Papers:

This workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL) has a broad scope and
embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply
restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes (but is
certainly not limited to) approaches that have been called simplified
language, plain language, formalized language, processable language, fragments
of language, phraseologies, conceptual authoring, language generation, and
guided natural language interfaces.

Some CNLs are designed to improve communication among humans, especially for
non-native speakers of the respective natural language. In other cases, the
restrictions on the language are supposed to make it easier for computers to
analyze such texts in order to improve computer-aided, semi-automatic, or
automatic translations into other languages. A third group of CNL has the goal
to enable reliable automated reasoning and formal knowledge representation
from seemingly natural texts. All these types of CNL are covered by this
workshop.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: 1 March 2016  
Notification of acceptance: 1 April 2016  
Deadline for revised papers: 13 May 2016  
Registration deadline: 11 July 2016  
Posters/demos deadline: 11 July 2016  
Workshop: 25-27 July 2016

Topics:

Possible topics for CNL 2016 include:

- CNL for knowledge representation
- CNL for query interfaces
- CNL for specifications
- CNL for business rules
- CNL for dialogue systems
- CNL for machine translation
- CNL for improved understandability of texts
- CNL for natural language generation
- Design of CNLs
- CNL applications
- CNL evaluation
- Usability and acceptance of CNL
- CNL grammars and lexica
- Multilingual CNLs
- Reasoning in CNL
