****************************************************************
Call for Demonstrations
****************************************************************

The IJCNLP 2013 Demonstration Committee invites proposals for the
Demonstrations Program. We encourage both the submission of early
research prototypes and interesting mature systems. We also welcome demo
proposals related to submission to the main conference. Commercial sales
and marketing activities are inappropriate for the Program.

AREAS OF INTEREST
Areas of interest include all topics related to theoretical and applied
computational linguistics, such as (but not limited to) the topics
listed for the conference paper submission.

The systems may be of the following kinds:
* Natural Language Processing systems or system components
* Application systems using language technology components
* Software tools for computational linguistics research
* Software for demonstration or evaluation
* Development tools

FORMAT FOR SUBMISSIONS
Demo proposals consist of the following parts, which should all be sent
to the Demo Chairs. Please use the main IJCNLP paper formatting
guidelines. The entire proposal should not be more than four pages.

* An extended abstract of the technical content to be demonstrated,
  including title, authors, full contact information, references, and
  acknowledgements.

* A "script outline" of the demo presentation, including accompanying
  narrative, and either a Web address for accessing the demo or visual
  aids (e.g., screenshots, snapshots, or diagrams).

* A detailed description of the hardware, software and internet service
  requirements expected to be provided by the local organizer.

SUBMISSIONS PROCEDURE
Submission procedure will be announced later. The deadline for proposals
is May 24, 2013. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their
relevance to computational linguistics, innovation, scientific
contribution, presentation, as well as potential logistical
constraints. Accepted submissions will be allocated maximum four pages
in the Companion Volume to the Proceedings of the Conference.

IMPORTANT DATES
May 24, 2013: Demo proposal submission due
July 8, 2013: Demo proposal acceptance notification
August 9, 2013: Demo paper camera ready due
October 15-17: Conference

DEMONSTRATIONS CHAIRS

****************************************************************
Call for Tutorials
****************************************************************

IJCNLP 2013 seeks proposals for tutorials on all topics of computational
linguistics, broadly conceived to include areas such as speech
processing, information retrieval, psycholinguistics and language issues
in emerging domains such as social media, bioinformatics, and processing
of legal documents. Especially encouraged are tutorials that introduce
recent advancements in cross-disciplinary areas such as network
analysis, machine learning, and grounding in language processing.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
Proposals for tutorials should contain:

1. A title and brief description of the tutorial content and its
   relevance to the NLP community (not more than 2 pages).

2. A brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial's
   core content can be covered in a three-hour slot (including a coffee
   break). In exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are available as
   well.

3. A sample (and preferably all, if available) of the slides and any
   other material that will be used for the tutorial.

4. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of
   the tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement of
   their research interests and areas of expertise.

5. A list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, ifthe same
   or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate
   of the audience size.

6. A description of special requirements for technical equipment (e.g.,
   internet access).

Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in a single PDF file
or a single plain ASCII text file no later than May 17, 2013 to
tcc at ijcnlp2013.org.

The subject line should be: "IJCNLP 2013: TUTORIAL PROPOSAL".

You will receive an email confirmation that your proposal has been
received. If you do not receive this confirmation 24 hours after sending
the proposal, please send email again to the above addresses.

TUTORIAL SPEAKER RESPONSIBILITIES
Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by June 17, 2013, and must
