Call for Demonstrations at the 5th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (IJCNLP-2011)
Chiang Mei, Thailand, November 7-13, 2011
http://www.ijcnlp2011.org
Deadline for submission: May 20, 2011
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IJCNLP-2011 Demonstration Committee invites proposals for the Demonstrations Program. We encourage both the submission of early research prototypes and interesting mature systems. Note that 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.
* 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.
The entire proposal should not be more than four pages.
SUBMISSIONS PROCEDURE
The deadline for proposals is May 20, 2011. Submissions must be received electronically. Please submit your proposals and any inquiries to the demonstrations co-chairs (dc at ijcnlp2011 dot org).
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.
