                   CALL FOR COURSE and WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
                   --------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org) in different sites around
Europe.

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics,
logic and computation.  ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and
advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of
topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation,
Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation.

Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to
500 students from Europe and elsewhere.  The school has developed into
an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and
researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic,
Language and Information.

The ESSLLI 2009 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 21st
annual Summer School in the broad interdisciplinary area connecting
logic, linguistics, computer science and the cognitive sciences. The
Summer School program is organized around the components.

     - Language and Computation
     - Language and Logic
     - Logic and Computation

We also welcome proposals that do not exactly fit one of these
there categories.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted through a web form
available at http://www.folli.org/submission.php

All proposals should be submitted no later than

                  ******* Monday, September 1, 2008 *******

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision no
later than Wednesday October 15, 2008.  Proposers should follow the
guidelines below while preparing their submissions; proposals that
deviate can not be considered.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: Anyone interested in lecturing or
organizing a workshop during ESSLLI-2009, please read the following
information carefully.

ALL COURSES: Courses consists of five sessions (a one-week course),
each session lasting 90 minutes.  Lecturers who want to offer a long,
two-week course should submit two independent one-week courses (for
example an introductory course in the first week of ESSLLI, and a more
advanced course during the second).  The ESSLLI program committee has
the right to select only one of the two proposed courses.

Timetable for Course Proposal Submission:

     Sept 1, 2008: Proposal Submission Deadline
     Oct 15, 2008: Notification
     June 1, 2009: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course
                   material (by ESSLLI Local Organizers)

FOUNDATIONAL COURSES: These are strictly elementary courses not
assuming any background knowledge.  They are intended for people to
get acquainted with the problems and techniques of areas new to them.
Ideally, they should allow researchers from other fields to acquire
the key competences of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses may presuppose some experience with scientific
methods in general, so as to be able to concentrate on the issues that
are germane to the area of the course.

INTRODUCTORY COURSES: Introductory courses are central to the
activities of the Summer School.  They are intended to equip students
and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic
methods and techniques.  Introductory courses in, for instance,
Language and Computation, can build on some knowledge of the component
fields; e.g., an introductory course in computational linguistics
should address an audience which is familiar with the basics of
linguistics and computation.  Proposals for introductory courses
should indicate the level of the course as compared to standard texts
in the area (if available).

ADVANCED COURSES: Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of
advanced Masters or PhD students.  Proposals for advanced courses
should specify the prerequisites in detail.

WORKSHOPS: The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced
Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their
work.  Workshops should have a well defined theme, and workshop
organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. It is a
strict requirement that organizers give a general introduction to the
theme during the first session of the workshop.  They are also
responsible for the organization and program of the workshop including
inviting the submission of papers, reviewing, expenses of invited
speakers, etc. In particular, each workshop organizer will be
responsible for sending out a Call for Papers for the workshop by
November 17, 2008.  The call must make it clear that the workshop is
open to all members of the ESSLLI community.  It should also note that
all workshop contributors must register for the Summer School.

Timetable for Workshop Proposal Submissions

     Sept 1, 2008: Proposal Submission Deadline
     Oct 15, 2008: Notification
     Nov 10, 2008: Deadline for receipt of Call for Papers
                   (by ESSLLI PC chair)
     Nov 17, 2008: Workshop organizers send out (First) Call for Papers
     Jan  7, 2008: Workshop organizers send out Second Call for Papers
     Feb  2, 2008: Workshop organizers send out Third Call for Papers
     Feb 15, 2009: Deadline for Papers
     Apr 15, 2009: Notification of Workshop Contributors
     June 1, 2009: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready copy of Workshop
                   Proceedings (by ESSLLI Local Organizers)

Notice that workshop speakers will be required to register for the
Summer School; however, they will be able to register at a reduced
rate to be determined by the Local Organizers.

FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS: The web-based form for submitting course and
workshop proposals is accessible at
http://www.folli.org/submission.php.  You will be required to submit
the following information:

     * Name (name(s) of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer)

     * Address (contact addresses of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer;
       where possible, please include phone and fax numbers)

     * Title (title of proposed course/workshop)

     * Type (is this a workshop, a foundational course, an introductory
       course, or an advanced course?)

     * Section (does your proposal fit in Language & Computation,
       Language & Logic or Logic & Computation? name only one)

     * Description (in at most 150 words, describe the proposed
       contents and substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI)

     * External funding (will you be able to find external funding to
       help fund your travel and accommodation expenses? if so, how?)

     * Further particulars (any further information that is required
       by the above guidelines should be included here; in particular,
       indicate here your teaching experience in an interdisciplinary
       field as the one addressed by ESSLLI.)

FINANCIAL ASPECTS: Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers
should be aware that all teaching and organizing at the summer schools
is done on a voluntary basis in order to keep the participants fees as
low as possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their
contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation (up to a
fixed, maximum amount that will be notified to lecturers when courses
are accepted).  It should be stressed that while proposals from all
over the world are welcomed, the Summer School cannot guarantee full
reimbursement of travel costs, specially from destinations outside
Europe.

Please note the following: In case a course is to be taught by
multiple lecturers, a lump sum is reimbursed to cover travel and
accommodation expenses for one lecturer. The splitting of the sum is
up to the lecturers.

The local organizers highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, and such issues might be taken into
account when selecting courses.

   depuis déjà bien longtemps. J'ai été très touchée par le soutien et
   l¹accueil de celles et ceux que je connaissais moins bien.

   Je voudrais commencer en saluant, au nom de tous les membres du
   comité d¹administration, l'action de Jean Veronis en tant que
   président de l'ATALA, pendant les 8 dernières années.

   Grâce à l'action de Jean, l'ATALA est entrée dans l'ère du
   numérique, que ce soit à travers la création du site web qui permet
   aussi les adhésions en ligne, que grâce à la numérisation des
   archives et au passage de la revue à une forme électronique.  En
   plus d'un intérêt clair et direct pour l¹association, cela fournira
   à la communauté linguistique des corpus intéressants !

    Jean a aussi offert un fort soutien aux étudiants en leur
    accordant un rôle important au sein de la conférence RECITAL et en
    développant l'attribution de bourses.

   Jean a travaillé avec d'autres associations du domaine. Je citerai
   en particulier l'AFCP pour l'organisation conjointe de TALN avec
   les JEP tous les 4 ans et l'ASTI.

   Il a été, avec Nathalie Gasiglia, l'animateur de la réflexion sur
   l'enseignement et la pédagogie des techniques d'informatique
   linguistique en France, à travers l¹initiative REPTIL . Initiative
   dont la relève est assurée par Georges Antoniadis et Thomas
   Lebarbé.

   Il a, par ailleurs, assuré de saines finances à l¹association via
   le projet Technolangue.

   Enfin, Jean a toujours veillé à ce que les débats soient conduits
   de manière ouverte sans jamais laisser pour compte aucun des
   acteurs du TAL.

   Au nom de tous les membres de l'ATALA, je lui adresse un grand
   merci.

   Pour poursuivre dans cette voie et aller de l'avant vos idées
   fusent. Nous continuerons ensemble de débattre de ces idées et de
   les mettre en oeuvre. J'en citerai deux qui me tiennent plus
   particulièrement à coeur car, de par mon parcours professionnel,
   c'est sans doute là où je pourrai le plus vous aider, à savoir,
   renforcer la dimension européenne de l¹ATALA et ses rapports avec
   l¹industrie.

   Mais le grand projet de 2009 reste, bien entendu, les cinquante ans
   de l¹ATALA que Laurence Danlos a gentiment accepte d'organiser avec
   le comité d¹administration. Une fois de plus, vous connaissant,
   j'ai pleinement confiance : grâce à la contribution de chacun et de
   chacune, ils seront grandioses !

   Merci encore et un très bel été  à toutes et à tous 
   Frédérique

Résumé de la thèse:

Le domaine médical dispose aujourd'hui d'un très grand volume de
documents électroniques permettant ainsi la recherche d'une
information médicale quelconque. Cependant, l'exploitation de cette
grande quantité de données rend la recherche d'une information précise
complexe et coûteuse en termes de temps. Cette difficulté a motivé le
développement de nouveaux outils de recherche adaptés, comme les
systèmes de question-réponse. En effet, ce type de système permet à un
utilisateur de poser une question en langage naturel et de retourner
une réponse précise à sa requête au lieu d'un ensemble de documents
jugés pertinents, comme c'est le cas des moteurs de recherche. Les
questions soumises à un système de question-réponse portent
généralement sur un type d'objet ou sur une relation entre
objets. Dans le cas d'une question telle que « Qui a découvert
l'Amérique ? » par exemple, l'objet de la question est une
personne. Dans des domaines plus spécifiques, tel que le domaine
médical, les types rencontrés sont eux-mêmes plus spécifiques. La
question « Comment rechercher l'hématurie ? » appelle ainsi une
réponse de type examen médical.

L'objectif de ce travail est de mettre en place un système de
question-réponse pour des médecins généralistes portant sur les bonnes
pratiques médicales. Ce système permettra au médecin de consulter une
base de connaissances lorsqu'il se trouve en consultation avec un
patient. Ainsi, dans ce travail, nous présentons une stratégie de
recherche adaptée au domaine médical. Plus précisément, nous
exposerons une méthode pour l'analyse des questions médicales et
l'approche adoptée pour trouver une réponse à une question
posée. Cette approche consiste à rechercher en premier lieu une
réponse dans une ontologie médicale construite à partir de ressources
sémantiques disponibles pour la spécialité. Si la réponse n'est pas
trouvée, le système applique des patrons linguistiques appris
automatiquement pour repérer la réponse recherchée dans une collection
de documents candidats. L'intérêt de notre approche a été illustré au
travers du système de question-réponse « Esculape » qui a fait l'objet
d'une évaluation montrant que la prise en compte explicite de
connaissances médicales permet d'améliorer les résultats des
différents modules du processus de traitement.

Mots-clés : systèmes de question-réponse, domaine médical, ontologie,
patrons linguistiques.

Appel à Communication (dernier appel) - date limite 27/07/08
------------------------------------------------------------------------

La Fracture document at ire au Sud : une révolution numérique ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atelier sur la fracture numérique dans le cadre du 11ème Colloque
international sur le document numérique : CIDE’08, 28-31 octobre 2008,
Rouen, France

Cette quatrième édition de l’atelier sur la fracture numérique fait
suite à celles organisées en 2006 à Fribourg lors de la semaine sur le
Document Numérique, en 2007 à Nancy lors du colloque CIDE et à
Marrakech lors de la conférence sur la Veille Stratégique Scientifique
et Technologique VSST.

Thème de l’atelier

Si les indicateurs publiés par les organisations internationales
traduisent la persistance d’une fracture numérique Nord-Sud, il n’en
reste pas moins que les pays en développement sont loin d’être à
l’écart des bouleversements induits par la révolution du
numérique. Force est de constater que même dans les pays à très faible
revenu, les TIC renouvellent profondément les dispositifs de
communication, d’administration, d’enseignement supérieur et de
recherche. Si en Europe et dans la plupart des pays émergent, le
passage au numérique s’inscrit en continuation d’une longue tradition
écrite, dans de nombreux pays en développement, le document numérique
prend directement le relais de la tradition orale. Forme nouvelle du
passage à l’écrit, il en modifie les rythme et les contours et façonne
de nouvelles normes issues des standards de l’industrie du logiciels.

Pour aborder ces questions et identifier les principales thématiques
de recherche, un atelier sur la fracture documentaire au Sud est
organisé dans le cadre de CIDE’08 (Colloque International sur le
Document Electronique) à Rouen, mardi 28 octobre 2008.

L’atelier comprendra quatre interventions de 15 minutes qui seront
suivies d’un débat sur les enjeux de la révolution numérique au Sud.
Les chercheurs, seniors ou doctorants, intéressés à présenter leurs
travaux sont encouragés à soumettre un texte de quatre à cinq pages
pour le 27 juillet 2008 (date limite de réception des
communications). Les propositions devront s’appuyer sur des travaux de
terrain, récents et porter sur les thématiques exposées ci-dessus,
c’est à dire les incidences du passage au document numérique au Sud,
dans les domaines de l’administration, des média, de l’enseignement et
de la recherche.

L’acceptation ou le rejet des propositions sera notifié pour le 15
août 2008. Les communications retenues seront publiées dans les actes
CIDE’08 disponibles au colloque.

Soumission des communications

Les propositions seront rédigées en Français de préférence, mais les
textes en anglais seront également examinées. Merci d’adresser vos
textes à : cide2008 at univ-rouen.fr

Dates importantes

- Date limite de soumission : 27 juillet 2008
- Notification aux auteurs : 15 août 2008
- Document définitif : 20 août 2008

Lieu

L’atelier se déroulera à l’Université de Rouen, Maison de
l’Université, sur le campus de Mont-Saint-Aignan.

    * Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal
    * Technische Universitaet Wien, Austria
    * Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain

This program, completely in English, involves studying one year at the
Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, and completing the second year with
a stay in one of the partner universities. After this, the student
will obtain, together with the European degree, two Master of Science
degrees: the Laurea Specialistica degree from the Free University of
Bozen-Bolzano, with legal value in Italy, and the respective Master of
Science degree from the visited university, with legal value in its
country.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:

- 22 August 2008: last deadline only for European students
  starting at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
  (notification of acceptance: 5 September 2008)

SCHOLARSHIPS & MONEY SUPPORT:

European citizens can apply to scholarships which are granted purely
on the basis of the yearly income of the applicant and of her/his
parents or husband/wife.  This scholarship is only for the year of
study at FUB and it may amount up to more than 6,000 EUR per academic
year, plus support on the accommodation and reimbursement of the local
enrolment fees.  These scholarships are also available to non-European
citizens with residence in Italy.  European students will also get a
LLP Socrates Erasmus scholarship for the second year of study abroad,
which is 330 EUR per month.

   NEW! Several tuition fee waivers are granted by the European Master
   to students with good qualifications on a first come first served
   basis. All applicants will be considered for tuition fee waivers.

   NEW!  Every year 10 students with European citizenship can visit
   Australia (Canberra, Sidney, Melbourne or Brisbane) up to 3 months

Check the web page for detailed info on other available scholarships:
http://www.computational-logic.eu

THE STUDY PROGRAMME:

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is designed to
meet the demands of industry and research in this rapidly growing
area.  Based on a solid foundation in mathematical logic, theoretical
computer science, artificial intelligence and declarative programming
students will acquire in-depth knowledge necessary to specify,
implement and run complex systems as well as to prove properties of
these systems. In particular, the focus of instruction will be in
deduction systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial
intelligence, formal specification and verification, syntax directed
semantics, logic and automata theory, logic and computability. This
basic knowledge is then applied to areas like logic and natural
language processing, logic and the semantic web, bioinformatics,
information systems and database technology, software and hardware
verification.  Students will acquire practical experience and will
become familiar in the use of tools within these applications. In
addition, students will be prepared for a future PhD, they will come
in contact with the international research community and will be
integrated into ongoing research projects.  They will develop
competence in foreign languages and international relationships,
thereby improving their social skills.

Applicants should have a Bachelor degree (Laurea triennale) in
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or other relevant disciplines;
special cases will be considered.  The programme is part of the Master
in Computer Science (Laurea Specialistica in Informatica) and it has
various strengths that make it unique amongst Italian and European
universities:

* Curriculum taught entirely in English: The programme is open to the
  world and prepares the students to move on the international scene.

* Possibility of a strongly research-oriented curriculum.

* Possibility for project-based routes to obtain the degree and
  extensive lab facilities.

* Other specialisations with streams in the hottest Computer Science
  areas, such as Web Technologies, Information and Knowledge
  Management, Databases and Software Engineering.

* International student community.

* Direct interaction with the local and international industry and
  research centres, with the possibility of practical and research
  internships that can lead to future employment.

* Excellent scholarship opportunities and student accommodations.

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is sponsored
scientifically by the European Network of Excellence on Computational
Logic (CoLogNET), the European Association of Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI), the European Coordinating Committee for
Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI), the Italian Association for
Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA), the Italian Association for
Informatics (AICA, member of the Council of European Professional
Informatics Societies), the Italian Association for Logic and its
Applications (AILA), and the Portuguese Association for Artificial
Intelligence (APPIA).

THE FREE UNIVERSITY OF BOZEN-BOLZANO:

The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, founded in 1997, boasts modern
premises in the centre of Bozen-Bolzano.  The environment is
multilingual, South Tyrol being a region where three languages are
spoken: German, Italian and Ladin. Studying in a multilingual area has
shown that our students acquire the cutting edge needed in the
international business world. Many of our teaching staff hails from
abroad.  Normal lectures are complemented with seminars, work
placements and laboratory work, which give our students a vocational
as well as theoretical training, preparing them for their subsequent
professional careers. Studying at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
means, first and foremost, being guided all the way through the
student's educational career.

Bozen-Bolzano, due to its enviable geographical position in the centre
of the Dolomites, also offers our students a multitude of
opportunities for spending their free-time. The city unites the
traditional with the modern. Young people and fashionable shops throng
the city centre where ancient mercantile buildings are an attractive
backdrop to a city that is in continual growth. To the south there is
the industrial and manufacturing area with prosperous small and
medium-sized businesses active in every economic sector.  Back in the
17th century Bozen-Bolzano was already a flourishing mercantile city
that, thanks to its particular geographic position, functioned as a
kind of bridge between northern and southern Europe. As a multilingual
town and a cultural centre Bozen-Bolzano still has a lot to offer
today.  Its plethora of theatres, concerts with special programmes,
cinemas and museums, combined with a series of trendy night spots that
create local colour make Bozen-Bolzano a city that is beginning to
cater for its increasingly demanding student population. And if you
fancy a very special experience, go and visit the city's favourite and
most famous resident - "Oetzi", the Ice Man of Similaun, housed in his
very own refrigerated room in the recently opened archaeological
museum.

Bozen-Bolzano and its surroundings are an El Dorado for sports lovers:
jogging on the grass alongside the River Talfer-Talvera, walks to
Jenesien-S.Genesio and on the nearby Schlern-Sciliar plateau,
excursions and mountain climbing in the Dolomites, swimming in the
numerous nearby lakes and, last but not least, skiing and snowboarding
in the surrounding ski areas.

Second CALL FOR PAPERS
BULAG N° 33
"Information and Quality: the Global Dimension"


Coordination:

Dr Walid EL ABED
Centre Tesniere
Université de Franche-Comté

and
CEO & Founder
Global Data Excellence
France

Topic:

We are living in an interesting period of history where information is
becoming a key resource in our day to day life. The world is changing
more quickly than ever particularly in the area of multi-channel data
flows.  Furthermore, this data can have many and complex forms; we
cite natural language as an example of such.

The paradigm shift from the industrial age to the information age is
already impacting our behaviour and we are becoming more and more data
and information consumers. We are demanding on a daily basis for
just-in-time data and information in order to take decisions or
actions. The quality of these decisions and actions will depend highly
on the quality of data that we use. In the context of globalization,
of new technology and of energy volatility, it is clear that we will
be demanding accurate data to aid in our choices and decisions. We
believe that data and information are key to global sustainability.

Therefore, it is imperative to define frameworks, models,
methodologies and tools in order to ensure continuous global data
excellence and to strive for data pollution prevention.  List of
subjects:

- Framework and methodology to sustain data quality.

- Data quality dimensions definitions and mathematical measurement
  models.

- Data quality processes definitions and methods for continuous
  improvement.

- Methodology to perform data cleansing and correction.

- How to assess data quality.

- Semantic models to define quality rules.

- Dealing with complex data forms such as natural language - canonical
  forms, variants, standards and control.

- Models to measure the cost of bad data quality.

- Methodologies to ensure consistent data movements between systems.

- Methods to measure web content data quality.

- Methods and tools to measure unstructured data.

- Methodology to sustain unstructured data quality

- Models for data quality governance.

- Governance model for semantic quality rules.

- Data pollution prevention.

- Data quality standards.

- Methods to create quality data models.

- Methods to sustain quality data definitions.

- Information quality methodology for measurement and sustainability.

communicate with people in remote places "anytime and anywhere",
enriching human knowledge, affection and sensibility. However, there
are various barriers which stand in our way to using these systems
freely and flexibly. In order to discuss how to overcome these
barriers and create a more human-centered communication environment,
in 2007 the first International Symposium on Universal Communication
was held in Kyoto, Japan featuring discussions with well-known
researchers from around the world. Following its success, the second
International Symposium on Universal Communication will be held in
Osaka, Japan.  Topics of interest are as follows, but not limited to

　- Information retrieval and information analysis
　- Information credibility
　- Knowledge processing
　- Language resources
　- Speech recognition and synthesis
　- Machine translation and speech translation
　- Natural language processing
　- Spoken language processing
　- Multilingual information processing
　- Super high-resolution image technology

************************************************

                   CatCod 2008 - Call For Papers

                   First International Workshop on
      Cataloguing and Coding of Spoken Language Data

                         December 4 - 5 2008
                     Université d'Orléans, France

                       http://www.catcod.org

************************************************

The number of spoken recordings  which are digitized and available for
the study and  description of language has remained  quite small for a
long  time  and  their  distribution  has  been  largely  confined  to
specialized  agencies.  However, the  development of  the Web  and its
associated storage, distribution  and processing technologies have now
made it  both practically and  economically feasible for  many smaller
structures,  such as individual  research laboratories,  to distribute
spoken resources for themselves.
We  are  thus  entering  a  critical  phase. It  is  now  possible  to
capitalize on the efforts  of projects which have digitized linguistic
data in  order to form the  empirical basis for  entirely new research
projects.
However,  many such  existing projects  in France  and Europe  shows a
great heterogeneity  among in their conformance  to established coding
and  cataloguing standards  for this  type of  resource.   Even though
these same  projects were often set  up with the  aims of facilitating
access to  data, and of sharing  and preservation of  data, we observe
that the diversity of formats, encodings and protocols they use limits
exactly these objectives.  In this  symposium, we aim to report on the
major  initiatives within  the  field of  digital document  management
which will potentially have an important influence on standardization.
We  would like  to stress  two  specific aspects:  the cataloguing  of
spoken resources and their encoding.

Cataloguing:
The  recent  and  fast  growth  of the  number  of  spoken  recordings
available on the  Web needs to be accompanied  by a significant effort
of  description  and  referencing  if  these data  are  to  be  easily
accessible  and managed,  rather  than  being buried  in  the mass  of
available data.  Some cataloguing practices aim solely to complete the
life cycle of a a  resource-creating project. Others explicitly aim to
guide  the exploitation,  preservation,  and the  distribution of  the
resource in the long term.
Such cataloguing activity is all the more important and urgent in view
of the rapid increase in  enhanced methods of handling operations this
mass   of  data,  by   means  of   data  exchange,   enhancement,  and
research.   Some  research   communities  are   well-organised  around
established standards such as the Dublin Core for Web-based resources,
the TEI  Header, or  the MARC standards  maintained by the  Library of
Congress  for  the  description  of  bibliographical  resources.  More
recently, smaller linguistic  communities have established cataloguing
proposals (OLAC, IMDI).  People have now had enough  experience in the
use of these  proposals to be able to criticize  them and propose some
improvements.   With these  new  insights, it  should  be possible  to
establish a minimal  charter to be respected by those  who wish to get
involved  in the  distribution of  spoken language  data, in  order to
facilitate their exchange and their more general use in research.

Encoding:
If cataloguing  is essential for  the identification of  resources and
for  rapid comparisons  amongst  them, encoding  is  essential to  the
description of the interpretation  of their content and also essential
to  their   exploitation  for  specific  studies.    If  encoding  the
transcription of  video or audio material is  indeed the clarification
of an interpretation,  then one notes here as well  a great variety in
the practices.
The  inventories made  during  the EAGLES,  MATE  and ISLE  successive
initiatives have demonstrated how difficulty  it is to grasp fully the
extent of  various encoding systems.  The ISLE project  suggested that
only  the specification of  a universal  software tool  for annotation
could lead to  resources encoded in a standardized  way. But this does
not make  it any the less necessary  for us to attempt  a communal and
consensual  activity, aiming  to  categorize, name,  and organize  the
phenomena found  within spoken  resources if we  hope to  achieve true
interoperability  of the  data, with  a  view to  multiple and  future
exploitations. We must now start  an exercise for the encoding of oral
corpora  similar to  what  has already  been  undertaken for  written
corpora by the TEI.

Quality control:
Assuming  that  we  can  achieve  an agreement  on  the  encoding  and
cataloguing of spoken data, it  will then be necessary to define rules
and develop tools to check the conformance of specific datasets to our
agreed  principles.  This  symposium  will also  therefore  report  on
quality control practices and techniques.

              Premières rencontres internationales pour le
                 Catalogage et le Codage de corpus oraux

                          4 - 5 Décembre 2008
                     à l'Université d'Orléans, France

                         http://www.catcod.org

************************************************

Le  nombre  d'enregistrements  oraux  numérisés  et  disponibles  pour
l'étude et la description des langues est longtemps resté relativement
faible et  ceux-ci étaient confinés dans des  agences spécialisées qui
en  assuraient le partage.  Avec l'essor  du web  et des  capacités de
stockage, de diffusion et de  traitement, il est devenu abordable pour
des plus petites structures (par ex. des laboratoires de recherche) de
diffuser elles-mêmes leurs ressources  orales. Nous sommes désormais à
une étape  clé où  la capitalisation des  efforts de  numérisation des
données linguistiques  devient possible, ceci  afin de former  la base
empirique de nouveaux projets de recherche.
L'observation  des normes de  codage et  de catalogage  de ce  type de
ressources  dans les  différents  projets existants  en  France et  en
Europe, montre  une grande hétérogénéité des pratiques.  Alors que ces
mêmes  projets se sont  montés dans  le but  de faciliter  l'accès, le
partage  ou  la  conservation  des  données,  on  constate  que  cette
diversité des formats, des codages et des protocoles utilisés limitent
justement ces objectifs.

Nous souhaitons  dans ce colloque  faire le point sur  les initiatives
majeures dans le  monde de la gestion des  documents numériques, ayant
potentiellement une  influence importante pour  la standardisation, en
mettant  l'accent  sur  deux   aspects  particuliers  qui  sont  :  le
catalogage d'une ressource orale et son codage.

Le catalogage :
La  croissance récente  et  rapide du  nombre d'enregistrements  oraux
disponibles  sur  le  web  demande  à  être  accompagnée  d'un  effort
important  de description  et de  référencement afin  que  ces données
soient accessibles facilement,  ne soient pas noyées dans  le masse et
que  la  gestion  en  soit  facilitée.   Il convient  à  ce  titre  de
distinguer des pratiques de catalogage  qui ont pour vocation le suivi
du cycle de  vie d'un projet de constitution  de ressources, de celles
qui ont pour  vocation à guider l'exploitation, ou  la conservation et
la diffusion de ces ressources.
Cette activité  de catalogage est d'autant plus  importante et urgente
que  les  opérations  de  manipulations  sur cette  masse  de  données
augmentent    elles    aussi    (échange,   maintenance,    recherche,
etc.). Certaines communautés se  sont déjà fortement organisées et ont
parfois établi  des normes comme  le Dublin-Core pour ce  qui concerne
les ressources  sur le web, ou  depuis plus longtemps  les normes MARC
maintenues  par la  bibliothèque du  congrès pour  la  description des
ressources  bibliographiques. Plus  récemment  enfin, des  communautés
plus  restreintes  en  linguistique  ont établi  des  propositions  de
catalogage   (OLAC,   IMDI).   Il   existe   maintenant   suffisamment
d'expériences dans l'utilisation de  ces propositions pour en faire la
critique, proposer des améliorations,  des pistes de réflexion et pour
établir  une  charte minimale  à  respecter  par  ceux qui  souhaitent
s'engager dans  la diffusion  de ressources orales  linguistiques afin
d'en   faciliter   l'échange   et  plus   généralement   l'utilisation
scientifique.

Le codage :
Si le catalogage est essentiel  à l'identification des ressources et à
la  comparaison  rapide  entre  elles,  le codage  est  pour  sa  part
essentiel  à  la description  de  l'interprétation  du  contenu de  la
ressource   elle-même,  et   à  son   exploitation  pour   des  études
particulières.
Si  le codage  d'une transcription  de  vidéo ou  de son  est bien  un
travail d'explicitation  d'une interprétation établie du  point de vue
d'une  discipline  d'un objet  de  recherches,  alors  on constate  là
également  une très  grande diversité  de pratiques.  Les recensements
opérés  lors des initiatives  successives EAGLES,  MATE puis  ISLE ont
démontré la difficulté d'appréhender  l'étendue des divers systèmes de
codage.  La spécification d'un  outil logiciel  d'annotation universel
peut  être  une  voie  d'accès   à  des  ressources  codées  de  façon
standardisée, comme  cela a  été suggéré par  ISLE. Mais cela  ne nous
dispense  pas   de  faire  le  travail   communautaire  consensuel  de
catégorisation, de dénomination et  de structuration des phénomènes se
trouvant  au   sein  des  ressources  si  l'on   souhaite  une  réelle
interopérabilité  des  données  en  vue d'exploitations  multiples  et
futures. Il s'agit donc de  commencer le travail de standardisation du
codage des  corpus oraux  comme cela a  déjà commencé pour  les corpus
textuels avec la TEI.

Contrôle qualité :
En supposant obtenus  un compromis sur le catalogage  et sur le codage
des données orales, il est alors nécessaire de se donner des règles et
des outils  de vérification de la conformité  de données particulières
aux principes  établis. Nous souhaitons donc également  faire le point
dans  ce colloque  sur les  pratiques de  contrôle de  la  qualité des
ressources.

                   CALL FOR COURSE and WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
                   --------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org) in different sites around
Europe.

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics,
logic and computation.  ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and
advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of
topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation,
Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation.

Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to
500 students from Europe and elsewhere.  The school has developed into
an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and
researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic,
Language and Information.

The ESSLLI 2009 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 21st
annual Summer School in the broad interdisciplinary area connecting
logic, linguistics, computer science and the cognitive sciences. The
Summer School program is organized around the components.

     - Language and Computation
     - Language and Logic
     - Logic and Computation

We also welcome proposals that do not exactly fit one of these
there categories.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted through a web form
available at http://www.folli.org/submission.php

All proposals should be submitted no later than

                  ******* Monday, September 1, 2008 *******

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision no
later than Wednesday October 15, 2008.  Proposers should follow the
guidelines below while preparing their submissions; proposals that
deviate can not be considered.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: Anyone interested in lecturing or
organizing a workshop during ESSLLI-2009, please read the following
information carefully.

ALL COURSES: Courses consists of five sessions (a one-week course),
each session lasting 90 minutes.  Lecturers who want to offer a long,
two-week course should submit two independent one-week courses (for
example an introductory course in the first week of ESSLLI, and a more
advanced course during the second).  The ESSLLI program committee has
the right to select only one of the two proposed courses.

Timetable for Course Proposal Submission:

     Sept 1, 2008: Proposal Submission Deadline
     Oct 15, 2008: Notification
     June 1, 2009: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course
                   material (by ESSLLI Local Organizers)

FOUNDATIONAL COURSES: These are strictly elementary courses not
assuming any background knowledge.  They are intended for people to
get acquainted with the problems and techniques of areas new to them.
Ideally, they should allow researchers from other fields to acquire
the key competences of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses may presuppose some experience with scientific
methods in general, so as to be able to concentrate on the issues that
are germane to the area of the course.

INTRODUCTORY COURSES: Introductory courses are central to the
activities of the Summer School.  They are intended to equip students
and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic
methods and techniques.  Introductory courses in, for instance,
Language and Computation, can build on some knowledge of the component
fields; e.g., an introductory course in computational linguistics
should address an audience which is familiar with the basics of
linguistics and computation.  Proposals for introductory courses
should indicate the level of the course as compared to standard texts
in the area (if available).

ADVANCED COURSES: Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of
advanced Masters or PhD students.  Proposals for advanced courses
should specify the prerequisites in detail.

WORKSHOPS: The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced
Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their
work.  Workshops should have a well defined theme, and workshop
organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. It is a
strict requirement that organizers give a general introduction to the
theme during the first session of the workshop.  They are also
responsible for the organization and program of the workshop including
inviting the submission of papers, reviewing, expenses of invited
speakers, etc. In particular, each workshop organizer will be
responsible for sending out a Call for Papers for the workshop by
November 17, 2008.  The call must make it clear that the workshop is
open to all members of the ESSLLI community.  It should also note that
all workshop contributors must register for the Summer School.

Timetable for Workshop Proposal Submissions

     Sept 1, 2008: Proposal Submission Deadline
     Oct 15, 2008: Notification
     Nov 10, 2008: Deadline for receipt of Call for Papers
                   (by ESSLLI PC chair)
     Nov 17, 2008: Workshop organizers send out (First) Call for Papers
     Jan  7, 2008: Workshop organizers send out Second Call for Papers
     Feb  2, 2008: Workshop organizers send out Third Call for Papers
     Feb 15, 2009: Deadline for Papers
     Apr 15, 2009: Notification of Workshop Contributors
     June 1, 2009: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready copy of Workshop
                   Proceedings (by ESSLLI Local Organizers)

Notice that workshop speakers will be required to register for the
Summer School; however, they will be able to register at a reduced
rate to be determined by the Local Organizers.

FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS: The web-based form for submitting course and
workshop proposals is accessible at
http://www.folli.org/submission.php.  You will be required to submit
the following information:

     * Name (name(s) of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer)

     * Address (contact addresses of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer;
       where possible, please include phone and fax numbers)

     * Title (title of proposed course/workshop)

     * Type (is this a workshop, a foundational course, an introductory
       course, or an advanced course?)

     * Section (does your proposal fit in Language & Computation,
       Language & Logic or Logic & Computation? name only one)

     * Description (in at most 150 words, describe the proposed
       contents and substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI)

     * External funding (will you be able to find external funding to
       help fund your travel and accommodation expenses? if so, how?)

     * Further particulars (any further information that is required
       by the above guidelines should be included here; in particular,
       indicate here your teaching experience in an interdisciplinary
       field as the one addressed by ESSLLI.)

FINANCIAL ASPECTS: Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers
should be aware that all teaching and organizing at the summer schools
is done on a voluntary basis in order to keep the participants fees as
low as possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their
contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation (up to a
fixed, maximum amount that will be notified to lecturers when courses
are accepted).  It should be stressed that while proposals from all
over the world are welcomed, the Summer School cannot guarantee full
reimbursement of travel costs, specially from destinations outside
Europe.

Please note the following: In case a course is to be taught by
multiple lecturers, a lump sum is reimbursed to cover travel and
accommodation expenses for one lecturer. The splitting of the sum is
up to the lecturers.

The local organizers highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, and such issues might be taken into
account when selecting courses.

Bonjour ? toutes et ? tous, 

   Je voulais vous dire un tr?s grand merci pour la confiance que vous
   avez bien voulu m'accorder, en me choisissant comme pr?sidente de
   l'ATALA. Cela me va droit au coeur et je me r?jouis de travailler
   coude a coude avec celles et ceux d'entre vous que je connais
   depuis d?j? bien longtemps. J'ai ?t? tr?s touch?e par le soutien et
   l?accueil de celles et ceux que je connaissais moins bien.

   Je voudrais commencer en saluant, au nom de tous les membres du
   comit? d?administration, l'action de Jean Veronis en tant que
   pr?sident de l'ATALA, pendant les 8 derni?res ann?es.

   Gr?ce ? l'action de Jean, l'ATALA est entr?e dans l'?re du
   num?rique, que ce soit ? travers la cr?ation du site web qui permet
   aussi les adh?sions en ligne, que gr?ce ? la num?risation des
   archives et au passage de la revue ? une forme ?lectronique.  En
   plus d'un int?r?t clair et direct pour l?association, cela fournira
   ? la communaut? linguistique des corpus int?ressants !

    Jean a aussi offert un fort soutien aux ?tudiants en leur
    accordant un r?le important au sein de la conf?rence RECITAL et en
    d?veloppant l'attribution de bourses.

   Jean a travaill? avec d'autres associations du domaine. Je citerai
   en particulier l'AFCP pour l'organisation conjointe de TALN avec
   les JEP tous les 4 ans et l'ASTI.

   Il a ?t?, avec Nathalie Gasiglia, l'animateur de la r?flexion sur
   l'enseignement et la p?dagogie des techniques d'informatique
   linguistique en France, ? travers l?initiative REPTIL . Initiative
   dont la rel?ve est assur?e par Georges Antoniadis et Thomas
   Lebarb?.

   Il a, par ailleurs, assur? de saines finances ? l?association via
   le projet Technolangue.

   Enfin, Jean a toujours veill? ? ce que les d?bats soient conduits
   de mani?re ouverte sans jamais laisser pour compte aucun des
   acteurs du TAL.

   Au nom de tous les membres de l'ATALA, je lui adresse un grand
   merci.

   Pour poursuivre dans cette voie et aller de l'avant vos id?es
   fusent. Nous continuerons ensemble de d?battre de ces id?es et de
   les mettre en oeuvre. J'en citerai deux qui me tiennent plus
   particuli?rement ? coeur car, de par mon parcours professionnel,
   c'est sans doute l? o? je pourrai le plus vous aider, ? savoir,
   renforcer la dimension europ?enne de l?ATALA et ses rapports avec
   l?industrie.

   Mais le grand projet de 2009 reste, bien entendu, les cinquante ans
   de l?ATALA que Laurence Danlos a gentiment accepte d'organiser avec
   le comit? d?administration. Une fois de plus, vous connaissant,
   j'ai pleinement confiance : gr?ce ? la contribution de chacun et de
   chacune, ils seront grandioses !

   Merci encore et un tr?s bel ?t?  ? toutes et ? tous 
   Fr?d?rique

Bonjour,

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter ? la soutenance de ma th?se intitul?e :

"Un syst?me de question/r?ponse dans le domaine m?dical" qui aura lieu
le vendredi 4 juillet ? 14h30 ? l'INSTN Saclay (Salle B6, b?timent
399) [
http://www.univ-mlv.fr/fr/index.php?rub=recherche&srub=actupub&actu=thesehdr&numactu=475
] devant un jury compos? de

Mme Brigitte GRAU (Rapporteur)
M. Pierre ZWEIGENBAUM (Rapporteur)
M. Christian FLUHR (Directeur)
M. Patrice BELLOT (Examinateur),
M. Olivier FERRET (Examinateur).

Cette th?se a ?t? r?alis?e au sein du laboratoire d'Ing?nierie de la
Connaissance Multim?dia Multilingue (LIC2M) au CEA.

Vous ?tes ?galement convi? au pot qui suivra.

Cordialement,

Mehdi Embarek

******
R?sum? de la th?se:

Le domaine m?dical dispose aujourd'hui d'un tr?s grand volume de
documents ?lectroniques permettant ainsi la recherche d'une
information m?dicale quelconque. Cependant, l'exploitation de cette
grande quantit? de donn?es rend la recherche d'une information pr?cise
complexe et co?teuse en termes de temps. Cette difficult? a motiv? le
d?veloppement de nouveaux outils de recherche adapt?s, comme les
syst?mes de question-r?ponse. En effet, ce type de syst?me permet ? un
utilisateur de poser une question en langage naturel et de retourner
une r?ponse pr?cise ? sa requ?te au lieu d'un ensemble de documents
jug?s pertinents, comme c'est le cas des moteurs de recherche. Les
questions soumises ? un syst?me de question-r?ponse portent
g?n?ralement sur un type d'objet ou sur une relation entre
objets. Dans le cas d'une question telle que ? Qui a d?couvert
l'Am?rique ? ? par exemple, l'objet de la question est une
personne. Dans des domaines plus sp?cifiques, tel que le domaine
m?dical, les types rencontr?s sont eux-m?mes plus sp?cifiques. La
question ? Comment rechercher l'h?maturie ? ? appelle ainsi une
r?ponse de type examen m?dical.

L'objectif de ce travail est de mettre en place un syst?me de
question-r?ponse pour des m?decins g?n?ralistes portant sur les bonnes
pratiques m?dicales. Ce syst?me permettra au m?decin de consulter une
base de connaissances lorsqu'il se trouve en consultation avec un
patient. Ainsi, dans ce travail, nous pr?sentons une strat?gie de
recherche adapt?e au domaine m?dical. Plus pr?cis?ment, nous
exposerons une m?thode pour l'analyse des questions m?dicales et
l'approche adopt?e pour trouver une r?ponse ? une question
pos?e. Cette approche consiste ? rechercher en premier lieu une
r?ponse dans une ontologie m?dicale construite ? partir de ressources
s?mantiques disponibles pour la sp?cialit?. Si la r?ponse n'est pas
trouv?e, le syst?me applique des patrons linguistiques appris
automatiquement pour rep?rer la r?ponse recherch?e dans une collection
de documents candidats. L'int?r?t de notre approche a ?t? illustr? au
travers du syst?me de question-r?ponse ? Esculape ? qui a fait l'objet
d'une ?valuation montrant que la prise en compte explicite de
connaissances m?dicales permet d'am?liorer les r?sultats des
diff?rents modules du processus de traitement.

Mots-cl?s : syst?mes de question-r?ponse, domaine m?dical, ontologie,
patrons linguistiques.

La Fracture document at ire au Sud : une r?volution num?rique ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atelier sur la fracture num?rique dans le cadre du 11?me Colloque
international sur le document num?rique : CIDE?08, 28-31 octobre 2008,
Rouen, France

Cette quatri?me ?dition de l?atelier sur la fracture num?rique fait
suite ? celles organis?es en 2006 ? Fribourg lors de la semaine sur le
Document Num?rique, en 2007 ? Nancy lors du colloque CIDE et ?
Marrakech lors de la conf?rence sur la Veille Strat?gique Scientifique
et Technologique VSST.

Th?me de l?atelier

Si les indicateurs publi?s par les organisations internationales
traduisent la persistance d?une fracture num?rique Nord-Sud, il n?en
reste pas moins que les pays en d?veloppement sont loin d??tre ?
l??cart des bouleversements induits par la r?volution du
num?rique. Force est de constater que m?me dans les pays ? tr?s faible
revenu, les TIC renouvellent profond?ment les dispositifs de
communication, d?administration, d?enseignement sup?rieur et de
recherche. Si en Europe et dans la plupart des pays ?mergent, le
passage au num?rique s?inscrit en continuation d?une longue tradition
?crite, dans de nombreux pays en d?veloppement, le document num?rique
prend directement le relais de la tradition orale. Forme nouvelle du
passage ? l??crit, il en modifie les rythme et les contours et fa?onne
de nouvelles normes issues des standards de l?industrie du logiciels.

Pour aborder ces questions et identifier les principales th?matiques
de recherche, un atelier sur la fracture documentaire au Sud est
organis? dans le cadre de CIDE?08 (Colloque International sur le
Document Electronique) ? Rouen, mardi 28 octobre 2008.

L?atelier comprendra quatre interventions de 15 minutes qui seront
suivies d?un d?bat sur les enjeux de la r?volution num?rique au Sud.
Les chercheurs, seniors ou doctorants, int?ress?s ? pr?senter leurs
travaux sont encourag?s ? soumettre un texte de quatre ? cinq pages
pour le 27 juillet 2008 (date limite de r?ception des
communications). Les propositions devront s?appuyer sur des travaux de
terrain, r?cents et porter sur les th?matiques expos?es ci-dessus,
c?est ? dire les incidences du passage au document num?rique au Sud,
dans les domaines de l?administration, des m?dia, de l?enseignement et
de la recherche.

L?acceptation ou le rejet des propositions sera notifi? pour le 15
ao?t 2008. Les communications retenues seront publi?es dans les actes
CIDE?08 disponibles au colloque.

Soumission des communications

Les propositions seront r?dig?es en Fran?ais de pr?f?rence, mais les
textes en anglais seront ?galement examin?es. Merci d?adresser vos
textes ? : cide2008 at univ-rouen.fr

Check the web page for detailed info on other available scholarships:
http://www.computational-logic.eu

THE STUDY PROGRAMME:

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is designed to
meet the demands of industry and research in this rapidly growing
area.  Based on a solid foundation in mathematical logic, theoretical
computer science, artificial intelligence and declarative programming
students will acquire in-depth knowledge necessary to specify,
implement and run complex systems as well as to prove properties of
these systems. In particular, the focus of instruction will be in
deduction systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial
intelligence, formal specification and verification, syntax directed
semantics, logic and automata theory, logic and computability. This
basic knowledge is then applied to areas like logic and natural
language processing, logic and the semantic web, bioinformatics,
information systems and database technology, software and hardware
verification.  Students will acquire practical experience and will
become familiar in the use of tools within these applications. In
addition, students will be prepared for a future PhD, they will come
in contact with the international research community and will be
integrated into ongoing research projects.  They will develop
competence in foreign languages and international relationships,
thereby improving their social skills.

Applicants should have a Bachelor degree (Laurea triennale) in
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or other relevant disciplines;
special cases will be considered.  The programme is part of the Master
in Computer Science (Laurea Specialistica in Informatica) and it has
various strengths that make it unique amongst Italian and European
universities:

* Curriculum taught entirely in English: The programme is open to the
  world and prepares the students to move on the international scene.

* Possibility of a strongly research-oriented curriculum.

* Possibility for project-based routes to obtain the degree and
  extensive lab facilities.

* Other specialisations with streams in the hottest Computer Science
  areas, such as Web Technologies, Information and Knowledge
  Management, Databases and Software Engineering.

* International student community.

* Direct interaction with the local and international industry and
  research centres, with the possibility of practical and research
  internships that can lead to future employment.

* Excellent scholarship opportunities and student accommodations.

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is sponsored
scientifically by the European Network of Excellence on Computational
Logic (CoLogNET), the European Association of Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI), the European Coordinating Committee for
Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI), the Italian Association for
Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA), the Italian Association for
Informatics (AICA, member of the Council of European Professional
Informatics Societies), the Italian Association for Logic and its
Applications (AILA), and the Portuguese Association for Artificial
Intelligence (APPIA).

THE FREE UNIVERSITY OF BOZEN-BOLZANO:

The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, founded in 1997, boasts modern
premises in the centre of Bozen-Bolzano.  The environment is
multilingual, South Tyrol being a region where three languages are
spoken: German, Italian and Ladin. Studying in a multilingual area has
shown that our students acquire the cutting edge needed in the
international business world. Many of our teaching staff hails from
abroad.  Normal lectures are complemented with seminars, work
placements and laboratory work, which give our students a vocational
as well as theoretical training, preparing them for their subsequent
professional careers. Studying at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
means, first and foremost, being guided all the way through the
student's educational career.

Bozen-Bolzano, due to its enviable geographical position in the centre
of the Dolomites, also offers our students a multitude of
opportunities for spending their free-time. The city unites the
traditional with the modern. Young people and fashionable shops throng
the city centre where ancient mercantile buildings are an attractive
backdrop to a city that is in continual growth. To the south there is
the industrial and manufacturing area with prosperous small and
medium-sized businesses active in every economic sector.  Back in the
17th century Bozen-Bolzano was already a flourishing mercantile city
that, thanks to its particular geographic position, functioned as a
kind of bridge between northern and southern Europe. As a multilingual
town and a cultural centre Bozen-Bolzano still has a lot to offer
today.  Its plethora of theatres, concerts with special programmes,
cinemas and museums, combined with a series of trendy night spots that
create local colour make Bozen-Bolzano a city that is beginning to
cater for its increasingly demanding student population. And if you
fancy a very special experience, go and visit the city's favourite and
most famous resident - "Oetzi", the Ice Man of Similaun, housed in his
very own refrigerated room in the recently opened archaeological
museum.

Bozen-Bolzano and its surroundings are an El Dorado for sports lovers:
jogging on the grass alongside the River Talfer-Talvera, walks to
Jenesien-S.Genesio and on the nearby Schlern-Sciliar plateau,
excursions and mountain climbing in the Dolomites, swimming in the
numerous nearby lakes and, last but not least, skiing and snowboarding
in the surrounding ski areas.

Second CALL FOR PAPERS
BULAG N? 33
"Information and Quality: the Global Dimension"


Coordination:

Dr Walid EL ABED
Centre Tesniere
Universit? de Franche-Comt?
France
and
CEO & Founder
Global Data Excellence
France

Topic:

We are living in an interesting period of history where information is
becoming a key resource in our day to day life. The world is changing
more quickly than ever particularly in the area of multi-channel data
flows.  Furthermore, this data can have many and complex forms; we
cite natural language as an example of such.

The paradigm shift from the industrial age to the information age is
already impacting our behaviour and we are becoming more and more data
and information consumers. We are demanding on a daily basis for
just-in-time data and information in order to take decisions or
actions. The quality of these decisions and actions will depend highly
on the quality of data that we use. In the context of globalization,
of new technology and of energy volatility, it is clear that we will
be demanding accurate data to aid in our choices and decisions. We
believe that data and information are key to global sustainability.

Therefore, it is imperative to define frameworks, models,
methodologies and tools in order to ensure continuous global data
excellence and to strive for data pollution prevention.  List of
subjects:

- Framework and methodology to sustain data quality.

- Data quality dimensions definitions and mathematical measurement
  models.

- Data quality processes definitions and methods for continuous
  improvement.

- Methodology to perform data cleansing and correction.

- How to assess data quality.

- Semantic models to define quality rules.

- Dealing with complex data forms such as natural language - canonical
  forms, variants, standards and control.

- Models to measure the cost of bad data quality.

- Methodologies to ensure consistent data movements between systems.

- Methods to measure web content data quality.

- Methods and tools to measure unstructured data.

- Methodology to sustain unstructured data quality

- Models for data quality governance.

- Governance model for semantic quality rules.

- Data pollution prevention.

- Data quality standards.

- Methods to create quality data models.

- Methods to sustain quality data definitions.

- Information quality methodology for measurement and sustainability.

- Global data quality assurance.

- Business data quality methodology, frameworks, models, and
  measurement techniques.

- Others.

Call for Papers/Demos
2nd International Symposium on Universal Communication
Dec 15 - 16, 2008
Osaka International Convention Center, Osaka, Japan

The development of information network systems enables us to
communicate with people in remote places "anytime and anywhere",
enriching human knowledge, affection and sensibility. However, there
are various barriers which stand in our way to using these systems
freely and flexibly. In order to discuss how to overcome these
barriers and create a more human-centered communication environment,
in 2007 the first International Symposium on Universal Communication
was held in Kyoto, Japan featuring discussions with well-known
researchers from around the world. Following its success, the second
International Symposium on Universal Communication will be held in
Osaka, Japan.  Topics of interest are as follows, but not limited to

?- Information retrieval and information analysis
?- Information credibility
?- Knowledge processing
?- Language resources
?- Speech recognition and synthesis
?- Machine translation and speech translation
?- Natural language processing
?- Spoken language processing
?- Multilingual information processing
?- Super high-resolution image technology
?- 3D visualization, imaging and display technologies
?- 3D sound processing
?- Virtual reality, mixed reality and augmented reality
?- Multisensory (visual, acoustic, haptic, olfactory, etc)
   interaction
?- Human factors
?- Human interface and interaction technologies
?- Real-world sensing technologies

                   CatCod 2008 - Call For Papers

                   First International Workshop on
      Cataloguing and Coding of Spoken Language Data

                         December 4 - 5 2008
                     Universit? d'Orl?ans, France

                       http://www.catcod.org

************************************************

The number of spoken recordings  which are digitized and available for
the study and  description of language has remained  quite small for a
long  time  and  their  distribution  has  been  largely  confined  to
specialized  agencies.  However, the  development of  the Web  and its
associated storage, distribution  and processing technologies have now
made it  both practically and  economically feasible for  many smaller
structures,  such as individual  research laboratories,  to distribute
spoken resources for themselves.
We  are  thus  entering  a  critical  phase. It  is  now  possible  to
capitalize on the efforts  of projects which have digitized linguistic
data in  order to form the  empirical basis for  entirely new research
projects.
However,  many such  existing projects  in France  and Europe  shows a
great heterogeneity  among in their conformance  to established coding
and  cataloguing standards  for this  type of  resource.   Even though
these same  projects were often set  up with the  aims of facilitating
access to  data, and of sharing  and preservation of  data, we observe
that the diversity of formats, encodings and protocols they use limits
exactly these objectives.  In this  symposium, we aim to report on the
major  initiatives within  the  field of  digital document  management
which will potentially have an important influence on standardization.
We  would like  to stress  two  specific aspects:  the cataloguing  of
spoken resources and their encoding.

Cataloguing:
The  recent  and  fast  growth  of the  number  of  spoken  recordings
available on the  Web needs to be accompanied  by a significant effort
of  description  and  referencing  if  these data  are  to  be  easily
accessible  and managed,  rather  than  being buried  in  the mass  of
available data.  Some cataloguing practices aim solely to complete the
life cycle of a a  resource-creating project. Others explicitly aim to
guide  the exploitation,  preservation,  and the  distribution of  the
resource in the long term.
Such cataloguing activity is all the more important and urgent in view
of the rapid increase in  enhanced methods of handling operations this
mass   of  data,  by   means  of   data  exchange,   enhancement,  and
research.   Some  research   communities  are   well-organised  around
established standards such as the Dublin Core for Web-based resources,
the TEI  Header, or  the MARC standards  maintained by the  Library of
Congress  for  the  description  of  bibliographical  resources.  More
recently, smaller linguistic  communities have established cataloguing
proposals (OLAC, IMDI).  People have now had enough  experience in the
use of these  proposals to be able to criticize  them and propose some
improvements.   With these  new  insights, it  should  be possible  to
establish a minimal  charter to be respected by those  who wish to get
involved  in the  distribution of  spoken language  data, in  order to
facilitate their exchange and their more general use in research.

Encoding:
If cataloguing  is essential for  the identification of  resources and
for  rapid comparisons  amongst  them, encoding  is  essential to  the
description of the interpretation  of their content and also essential
to  their   exploitation  for  specific  studies.    If  encoding  the
transcription of  video or audio material is  indeed the clarification
of an interpretation,  then one notes here as well  a great variety in
the practices.
The  inventories made  during  the EAGLES,  MATE  and ISLE  successive
initiatives have demonstrated how difficulty  it is to grasp fully the
extent of  various encoding systems.  The ISLE project  suggested that
only  the specification of  a universal  software tool  for annotation
could lead to  resources encoded in a standardized  way. But this does
not make  it any the less necessary  for us to attempt  a communal and
consensual  activity, aiming  to  categorize, name,  and organize  the
phenomena found  within spoken  resources if we  hope to  achieve true
interoperability  of the  data, with  a  view to  multiple and  future
exploitations. We must now start  an exercise for the encoding of oral
corpora  similar to  what  has already  been  undertaken for  written
corpora by the TEI.

Quality control:
Assuming  that  we  can  achieve  an agreement  on  the  encoding  and
cataloguing of spoken data, it  will then be necessary to define rules
and develop tools to check the conformance of specific datasets to our
agreed  principles.  This  symposium  will also  therefore  report  on
quality control practices and techniques.

              Premi?res rencontres internationales pour le
                 Catalogage et le Codage de corpus oraux

                          4 - 5 D?cembre 2008
                     ? l'Universit? d'Orl?ans, France

                         http://www.catcod.org

************************************************

Le  nombre  d'enregistrements  oraux  num?ris?s  et  disponibles  pour
l'?tude et la description des langues est longtemps rest? relativement
faible et  ceux-ci ?taient confin?s dans des  agences sp?cialis?es qui
en  assuraient le partage.  Avec l'essor  du web  et des  capacit?s de
stockage, de diffusion et de  traitement, il est devenu abordable pour
des plus petites structures (par ex. des laboratoires de recherche) de
diffuser elles-m?mes leurs ressources  orales. Nous sommes d?sormais ?
une ?tape  cl? o?  la capitalisation des  efforts de  num?risation des
donn?es linguistiques  devient possible, ceci  afin de former  la base
empirique de nouveaux projets de recherche.
L'observation  des normes de  codage et  de catalogage  de ce  type de
ressources  dans les  diff?rents  projets existants  en  France et  en
Europe, montre  une grande h?t?rog?n?it? des pratiques.  Alors que ces
m?mes  projets se sont  mont?s dans  le but  de faciliter  l'acc?s, le
partage  ou  la  conservation  des  donn?es,  on  constate  que  cette
diversit? des formats, des codages et des protocoles utilis?s limitent
justement ces objectifs.

Nous souhaitons  dans ce colloque  faire le point sur  les initiatives
majeures dans le  monde de la gestion des  documents num?riques, ayant
potentiellement une  influence importante pour  la standardisation, en
mettant  l'accent  sur  deux   aspects  particuliers  qui  sont  :  le
catalogage d'une ressource orale et son codage.

Le catalogage :
La  croissance r?cente  et  rapide du  nombre d'enregistrements  oraux
disponibles  sur  le  web  demande  ?  ?tre  accompagn?e  d'un  effort
important  de description  et de  r?f?rencement afin  que  ces donn?es
soient accessibles facilement,  ne soient pas noy?es dans  le masse et
que  la  gestion  en  soit  facilit?e.   Il convient  ?  ce  titre  de
distinguer des pratiques de catalogage  qui ont pour vocation le suivi
du cycle de  vie d'un projet de constitution  de ressources, de celles
qui ont pour  vocation ? guider l'exploitation, ou  la conservation et
la diffusion de ces ressources.
Cette activit?  de catalogage est d'autant plus  importante et urgente
que  les  op?rations  de  manipulations  sur cette  masse  de  donn?es
augmentent    elles    aussi    (?change,   maintenance,    recherche,
etc.). Certaines communaut?s se  sont d?j? fortement organis?es et ont
parfois ?tabli  des normes comme  le Dublin-Core pour ce  qui concerne
les ressources  sur le web, ou  depuis plus longtemps  les normes MARC
maintenues  par la  biblioth?que du  congr?s pour  la  description des
ressources  bibliographiques. Plus  r?cemment  enfin, des  communaut?s
plus  restreintes  en  linguistique  ont ?tabli  des  propositions  de
catalogage   (OLAC,   IMDI).   Il   existe   maintenant   suffisamment
d'exp?riences dans l'utilisation de  ces propositions pour en faire la
critique, proposer des am?liorations,  des pistes de r?flexion et pour
?tablir  une  charte minimale  ?  respecter  par  ceux qui  souhaitent
s'engager dans  la diffusion  de ressources orales  linguistiques afin
d'en   faciliter   l'?change   et  plus   g?n?ralement   l'utilisation
scientifique.

Le codage :
Si le catalogage est essentiel  ? l'identification des ressources et ?
la  comparaison  rapide  entre  elles,  le codage  est  pour  sa  part
essentiel  ?  la description  de  l'interpr?tation  du  contenu de  la
ressource   elle-m?me,  et   ?  son   exploitation  pour   des  ?tudes
particuli?res.
Si  le codage  d'une transcription  de  vid?o ou  de son  est bien  un
travail d'explicitation  d'une interpr?tation ?tablie du  point de vue
d'une  discipline  d'un objet  de  recherches,  alors  on constate  l?
?galement  une tr?s  grande diversit?  de pratiques.  Les recensements
op?r?s  lors des initiatives  successives EAGLES,  MATE puis  ISLE ont
d?montr? la difficult? d'appr?hender  l'?tendue des divers syst?mes de
codage.  La sp?cification d'un  outil logiciel  d'annotation universel
peut  ?tre  une  voie  d'acc?s   ?  des  ressources  cod?es  de  fa?on
standardis?e, comme  cela a  ?t? sugg?r? par  ISLE. Mais cela  ne nous
dispense  pas   de  faire  le  travail   communautaire  consensuel  de
cat?gorisation, de d?nomination et  de structuration des ph?nom?nes se
trouvant  au   sein  des  ressources  si  l'on   souhaite  une  r?elle
interop?rabilit?  des  donn?es  en  vue d'exploitations  multiples  et
futures. Il s'agit donc de  commencer le travail de standardisation du
codage des  corpus oraux  comme cela a  d?j? commenc? pour  les corpus
textuels avec la TEI.

Contr?le qualit? :
En supposant obtenus  un compromis sur le catalogage  et sur le codage
des donn?es orales, il est alors n?cessaire de se donner des r?gles et
des outils  de v?rification de la conformit?  de donn?es particuli?res
aux principes  ?tablis. Nous souhaitons donc ?galement  faire le point
dans  ce colloque  sur les  pratiques de  contr?le de  la  qualit? des
ressources.
