Meeting Description:

In addition to the Regular Session, ComputEL-8 invites self-identified
submissions to a Special Themed Session on “Building Tools Together.”
This Session will focus on amplifying our shared understanding of how
best to work together across disciplinary and cultural boundaries to
build technological tools that support community language
revitalization.

Call for Papers:

SPECIAL SESSION - CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite presentations that: (1) Describe the development of new
tools and technologies in collaborative teams, and/or (2) Describe or
identify technological or computational needs within community
language revitalization contexts, and/or propose solutions.

A. For presentations that describe the development of new tools and
technologies in collaboration among language communities, academic
researchers, and (in some cases) industry or non-governmental
organizations, we encourage submissions which address questions such
as:
  1. How did the idea for the tool or technology come about?
  2. How did the team members meet and come to work together?
  3. What has been the impact of this tool? How are you evaluating it?
How has the project benefitted community efforts at language
maintenance and revitalization?
  4. What are some challenges (logistical, technical,
interdisciplinary, intercultural) that you encountered, and how did
you address them?
  5. How have you balanced the needs and priorities of different team
members through the lifespan of the project?
  6. What lessons have you learned that might benefit similar
collaborations?

B. For presentations that identify technological or computational
needs within community language revitalization contexts, and/or
propose solutions, we encourage submissions which address questions
such as:
  1. What is the need that this tool would meet? Who will it serve?
  2. What is the blue-sky version of this tool? What is the minimum
viable product version?
  3. What kinds of data, digital assets, or media content would be
required to create the tool, and how would they be assembled?
  4. What challenges might the team face in the development process?
  5. How do you anticipate the collaborative process to best
incorporate diverse areas of expertise from cultural and
community-grounded knowledge to academic, technical, and
production-oriented knowledge?

SUBMISSIONS TO THE SPECIAL THEME SESSION
Please submit anonymous extended abstracts of up to 1500 words,
excluding references. See ComputEL-8 main site for submission
instructions: https://computel-workshop.org/computel-8/

Submissions representing community-led collaborations are strongly
encouraged.

Submissions to the Main Session may choose to be considered for the
Special Session as well. Same considerations will be given for
publication whether papers are accepted to the Main Session or the
Special Session. Alternatively, authors may submit abstracts only to
the Special Session.

The deadline for submissions is 11:59pm 7 October, 2024 (Anywhere on
Earth).

You may indicate that your full paper or extended abstract be
considered for inclusion in the Special Session.

Notification of acceptance to the Special Session will be sent out by
November 22, 2024.

All authors of papers in the Special Theme Session will be invited to
contribute to a follow-up paper that synthesizes the findings of the
Session.
