         Call for Proposals for Workshops and Tutorials at AMTA-2012

Contacts:   Alain Desilets (alain.desilets at nrc-cnrc.gc.ca)
            Jay Marciano (jay.marciano at lionbridge.com)

AMTA-2012, the Tenth Biennial Conference of the Association for Machine
Translation in the Americas will take place at the Catamaran Resort
Hotel in San Diego California, from Sunday, October 28 through Thursday,
November 1. It will immediately follow the 53st Annual Conference of the
American Translators Association (ATA), also in San Diego.

AMTA-2012 is seeking proposals for workshops and tutorials on all topics
related to MT.  Due to AMTA-2012's collocation with the ATA meeting, we
are particularly interested in proposals that are designed to help
translators understand MT technology and the role of translation
automation in the commercial translation production pipeline as well as
to help MT researchers and developers understand the needs of
translators and the translation industry. However, any themes connected
to MT research, development, deployment, use, and evaluation are
welcome.

Tutorials and Workshops will be held on Sunday, October 28, immediately
preceding the main conference, and Thursday, November 1, immediately
following the main conference. The first of those days will focus on
events that have a potential for attracting ATA members.

Aims: 

Tutorials at AMTA conferences are a forum for experts in MT and
MT-related areas to deliver concentrated training on a topic of interest
in half-day (or occasionally full-day) teaching sessions. Tutorials
provide background that helps conference participants (especially
newcomers to the field) understand the conference program, and/or enrich
their understanding of particular technical, applied, and business
matters surrounding research, development and use of MT and translation
technology.

AMTA workshops are intended to provide the opportunity for MT-related
communities of interest to spend focused time together advancing the
state of thinking or the state of practice in their area of interest or
endeavor.


Important dates:

- Proposal Submission deadline:   Thursday, May 31


What to submit: 

Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be submitted by May 31,
2012 to Alain Desilets (alain.desilets at nrc-cnrc.gc.ca, Tutorials) or Jay
Marciano (jay.marciano at lionbridge.com, Workshops). They should include
the proposed format (workshop or tutorial), a title, a one-page
description of the proposed content, technical requirements and the
expected number of participants. In the case of a workshop, the proposal
should also include dates for important milestones (call for papers,
recruitment of speakers, etc.), and whether this is an ongoing or new
workshop. If you would like your event to be held on the bridge day
between ATA and AMTA (Sunday October 28), your proposal should
additionally make a case for why it would be of interest to ATA members.

Workshop and Tutorial proposals must also include a signed copy of the
AMTA Workshop or Tutorial Policy and Leader Agreement Form. The forms
are available here:
