Dear colleagues,

I inform you that the "Unitex/Gramlab days" will take place on September
26th & 27th, at the University of Marne-la-Vallée (France).

The first day will be dedicated to Unitex users that want to discover in
details Gramlab, an IDE for linguists, that is the successor of Unitex.
This is a new platform that keeps most of Unitex features, and adds many
ones including:

- a project-oriented design allowing the user to work on several
  projects in parallel
- a brand new Eclipse-like interface, remembering the user configuration
  when restarted
- integrated SVN support for data sharing, including facilities for 
  comparing and merging graphs
- possibility to export linguistic components as maven artefacts
- a workflow approach allowing the user to run with one click a full
  processing sequence (preprocessing, locate, concordance)
- possibility to type some test text without having to edit a new corpus
  file
- new graph edition features to manipulate box groups with a right click
- named graph repositories
- auto-refresh of opened files that have been modified
- utf8 support

The second day will be dedicated to developers that want to have an
overview of the C/C++/Java code of Unitex/Gramlab. It will include a
description of the interaction between Unitex and Gramlab, a guided tour
of the core parts of the code, a demo of how to use Unitex as a dynamic
library from Java and Python, and a presentation of the persistence and
virtualization features that can speed up batch processing.

Here is the preliminary program (may be subject to modifications):

DAY 1 / Wednesday 26 (Copernic building, room 1B75):
9h-10h15: presentation of Unitex 3.0's new features
coffee break
10h30-12h: presentation of Gramlab IDE

13h30-16h30: install party and training session to learn how to
manipulate Gramlab

NOTE: participants must bring their own laptops

DAY 2 / Thursday 27 (Copernic building, room 3B114):

9h-10h30: guided tour of the C/C++ code of Unitex
coffee break
10h45-12h: guided tour of the java code of Unitex/Gramlab
lunch
13h30-14h: how to use Unitex as a JNI
14h-14h45: persistence and virtualization
14h45-15h15: how to use Unitex as a library invoked from python
