In view of the closeness of the original dates (December 20-22, 1999) to
the millenium change, which may cause inconveniencies, the dates of IWPT'99
have changed to February 23-25, 2000. IWPT'99 thus becomes IWPT 2000.
Below is the updated Call for papers, with revised time table.

The ITC-IRST (Institute for Scientific and Technological Research)
in Trento, in the North of Italy, will host the 6th International
Workshop on Parsing Technologies (IWPT 2000) from 23 to 25 February,
2000.

IWPT 2000 continues the tradition of biennial workshops on parsing
technology organised by SIGPARSE, the Special Interest Group on
Parsing of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).
This workshop series was initiated by Masaru Tomita in 1989.
The first workshop, in Pittsburgh and Hidden Valley, was followed
by workshops in Cancun (Mexico) in 1991; Tilburg (Netherlands) and
Durbuy (Belgium) in 1993; Prague and Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic)
in 1995; and Boston/Cambridge (Massachusetts) in 1997.
