Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 22-Apr-2016 

Meeting Description:

The International Committee on Computational Linguistics (ICCL) is pleased to
invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the 26th
International Conference on Computational Linguistics. COLING 2016 will take
place at the Osaka International Convention Center (OICC) from 11th - 16th
December 2016.

COLING covers a broad spectrum of technical areas related to natural language
and computation. The conference will include full papers (presented as oral
presentations or posters), demonstrations,
tutorials, and workshops. Oral and poster presentations of full papers will
not be distinguished in the proceedings of the conference.

There will be pre-conference workshop sessions on 11th - 12th December 2016.
Researchers and practitioners from all areas of the NLP/CL community are
invited to submit Workshop proposals for review.

Call for Workshop Proposals:

The International Committee on Computational Linguistics (ICCL) is pleased to
invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the 26th
International Conference on Computational Linguistics. COLING 2016 will take
place at the Osaka International Convention Center (OICC) from 11 - 16
December 2016. 

Workshop Format:

COLING workshops are aimed at raising discussions in a very interactive way,
thus creating a breeding ground for open questions, novel and emerging ideas
in NLP/CL in a less formal and possibly more focused way 
than the conference itself. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion,
group problem-solving and community-building initiatives are particularly
encouraged. Workshop organizers are free to decide the best format of their
workshop. 

SUBMISSION INFORMATION 

Proposals for workshops should contain: 

- a title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and content

- the desired workshop length (one day, two days or a half day) and an
estimate of the number of attendees

- the names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the
organisers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and
areas of expertise

- the list of potential members of the program committee, with an indication
of which members have already signed up. Organizers should do their best to
estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in
order to ensure a sufficient number of reviewers. This practice is likely to
ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews

- a description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop

- a description of special requirements for technical needs

- an indication of whether posters are likely to be included in the workshop
program

Workshop submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for
Workshop Papers. 

SUBMISSION DATE 

Please submit proposals in plain text in the body of an email to the workshop
organisers (workshop at coling2016.anlp.jp) no later than April 22nd, 2016,
23:59:59 UTC/GMT. 

Organisers of accepted workshops will be responsible for publicising and
running the workshop, including reviewing submissions and producing the
camera-ready workshop proceedings. 

It is crucial that organisers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure
to produce the camera-ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of
the workshop from the unified author indexes. Workshop organisers cannot
accept for publication papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere,
although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission
and review. The COLING 2016 organisers will set the workshop fees, provide
rooms, equipment, technical support, coffee breaks. 

WORKSHOP TIMELINE 

- 22 April 2016: Workshop proposals due 

- 6 April 2016: Notification of workshop acceptances 

- 14 October 2016: Camera-ready deadline for workshop proceedings 

- 11- 12 December 2016: COLING Workshops
