LAST CALL - deadline Oct 28 !!!!

                      CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
                 EACL 2012 / NAACL-HLT 2012 / ACL 2012
          (http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~kjokinen/WorkshopCFP/)

The European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(EACL), The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational
Linguistics (NAACL), and The Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL) invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the
EACL, NAACL, or ACL conferences in the spring and summer of 2012. We
solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities.
Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues:

   * EACL 2012 is the 13th Conference of the European Chapter of the
     Association for Computational Linguistics. It will be held in
     Avignon, April 23 - 27, 2012. The dates for the EACL workshops will
     be April 23-24. The webpage for EACL 2012 is: http://eacl2012.org/.

   * NAACL-HLT 2012 is the 13th Annual Meeting of the North American
     Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics. It will
     be held Montreal, Canada, June 3 - 8, 2012. The dates for the
     NAACL-HLT workshops will be June 7 - 8. The webpage for NAACL-HLT
     2012 is: http://www.naaclhlt2012.org/.

   * ACL 2012 is the 50th Annual Meeting of the Association for
     Computational Linguistics (ACL). It will be held in Jeju, Republic
     of Korea, July 8 - 14, 2012. The ACL workshops will be held July 12
     - 13. The webpage for ACL 2012 is: http://www.acl2012.org/.

Proposals will be jointly reviewed by the workshop organizers for all
three conferences.

        SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Similarly to previous conferences, the submission and reviewing of
workshop proposals for EACL, NAACL-HLT, and ACL will be coordinated.

Proposals for workshops should contain:

    1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic
       and content.

    2. The desired workshop length (one or two days), and an estimate of
       the number of attendees.

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

    4. A list of potential members of the program committee, with an
       indication of which members have already agreed.

    5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.

    6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.

    7. A note specifying which venue(s) (EACL versus NAACL-HLT versus
       ACL) would be acceptable to you; if all are acceptable, you may
       express preference for one or the other.

There will be a single workshop committee, coordinated by the three
sets of workshop chairs. This single committee will review the quality
of the workshop proposals. Once the reviews are complete, the workshop
chairs will work together to assign workshops to each of the three
conferences, taking into account the location preferences given by the
proposers.

The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's
general policies on workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-support-general-policy.html,
the financial policy for workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-conf-financial-policy.html,
and the financial policy for SIG workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshops-Sig-financial-policy.html.

    * Please submit proposals in plain text in the body of an email to the
      workshop organizers:
      eacl.naacl.acl.workshops.2012_AT_helsinki_DOT_fi
      no later than *October 28, 2011, 23:59:59 UTC/GMT*
      (which is 18:59:59 EST, 15:59:59 PST, and 08:59:59 JST on Oct 29).

    * Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no
      later than *November 11, 2011*.

Since the three conferences will occur at different times, the
timescales for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and
the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each
conference. Suggested timescales for each of the conferences are given
below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule
unless absolutely necessary.

Workshop organisers are also requested to pay attention to the fact that
there will be only a week between the notification of the workshop
acceptance and sending out the first CFPs for the workshop (in case of EACL
and ACL). Thus it is important that the workshop proposals are already well
structured and organised at the time of the submission, to allow quick launch
of the first CFP.
