TRANSLATORS: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!
*TWO LINES: the Stanford Translation Journal* is seeking to highlight the
translation process by publishing original, unpublished translations from any
language into English.
Traditionally, the journal has published reportage, anthropological field
reports, advertising, proverbs, poetry, fiction, prayers, anthems, and essays
regarding the translation process. And we got to thinking: why not seek also
translations of software, keyboards, technical documentation, and the
difficulties of translating in the Digital Age? This means you! If you have
experiences in digital or traditional translation, let us know.
The theme of the upcoming issue is TRACKS (traces, remains, courses, evidence,
animal tracks, scars, railroad tracks).
PLEASE REPLY TO: oes@leland.stanford.edu

SCAI'95
FIFTH SCANDINAVIAN CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Trondheim, Norway, May 29 - 31, 1995
2. CALL FOR PAPERS
and
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The biennial Scandinavian Conference on Artificial Intelligence is the
international, open Scandinavian forum for scientific exchange and
presentation of AI research and development. The conference language is
English. The aim of the conference is to cover all aspects of AI, and to
bring together basic and applied research. The technical program will
include paper and poster presentations, invited talks and panels.
An award will be given to the best student paper.
The major theme for SCAI'95 will be "Theory meets Practice", with
facilitation of feedback from real world applications to the
researchers as a central goal. Industry is particularly encouraged to
submit papers.
The fifth SCAI is hosted by the University of Trondheim and
SINTEF DELAB, in cooperation with the Norwegian AI Society, NAIS.
Submission of papers
--------------------
Authors are requested to submit 5 hard-copies of papers written in
English. Submitted papers should be unpublished and present original
work. Papers should be double-spaced and not exceed 6000 words.
Each copy of the paper should include a separate title page containing
the title, full names, postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail
addresses of all authors, an abstract of 100-200 words and an
indicator whether a paper or poster presentation is preferred.
Papers should be sent to

Welcome to Trondheim !
----------------------
Trondheim is the third largest city and the technical capital of
Norway. Trondheim was already a center of power in Norway in 997, when
the Viking king Olav Tryggvason founded a trading town at the mouth of
the Nid river and built a castle there. Trondheim became Norway's
first capital.
Modern Trondheim features culture, research and education, besides
trade and industry. The Norwegian Institute of Technology (abbreviated
in Norwegian: NTH) was established here in 1910 and is the only
technical university in the country. A major technological environment
has grown up around it, larger than any other technological center in
Norway. The other major part of the University is the College of Arts
and Science (AVH), which has grown from a rather small college 25
years ago, to its present size equal to NTH. With its 16000 students,
the University of Trondheim is the second largest in Norway. Close to
the University there is Scandinavia's largest foundation for
scientific and industrial research - SINTEF - with 2200 employees
performing contract research and development for industry and public
sector.
Take the opportunity to participate in both technical and cultural
events during SCAI'95. We look forward to seeing you in Trondheim!

RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
The department seeks to recruit a postgraduate student
to start in January 1995 in the area of natural
language processing, preferably in lexicon construction,
or computational pragmatics or semantics.
Candidates should have a good honours degree in a relevant
discipline (not necessarily Computer Science), and preferably some
NLP experience. The award is for three years and is at the standard
rate (just under 5K pounds a year) but there may be opportunities for
additional income within the university's regulations on graduate student
employment. A brochure on the work of the NLP group can be
obtained from liz@dcs.sheffield.ac.uk.
Enquiries and applications should be addressed to:

INTERNATIONAL LOGIC PROGRAMMING SYMPOSIUM (ILPS'95)
---------------------------------------------------
December 4-7, 1995
------------------
PORTLAND, OREGON, USA
---------------------
Sponsored by the Association of Logic Programming
Logic programming originates from the discovery that a subset of
predicate logic could be given a procedural interpretation which was
first embodied in the programming language Prolog. The unique features
of logic programming make it appealing for numerous applications in
artificial intelligence, computer-aided design and verification,
databases, and operations research as well as to explore parallel and
concurrent computing. The last two decades have witnessed substantial
developments in this field from its foundation to implementation,
applications, and the exploration of new language designs.
The Logic Programming Symposium is one of the two major annual
international conferences reporting recent research results in logic
programming. The technical program for the conference will include
tutorials, invited lectures, a panel, and presentations of refereed
papers and posters. A series of workshops is scheduled immediately after
the conference. Papers are welcome on all aspects of logic programming,
including, but not limited to:
Analysis and transformation Non-monotonic reasoning
Applications Parallelism
Architecture Programming environments
Artificial intelligence Programming language design
Concurrency Programming methodology
Constraints Meta-programming
Databases Semantics and foundations
Higher-order programming Theorem proving
Implementation Types and objects
Natural language processing
The theme for the conference will be ``Declarative Systems'', particularly
the integration of the logic programming, functional programming, and
object-oriented programming paradigms. Papers from researchers in other
communities on interdisciplinary research involving logic programming
and functional and/or object-oriented programming will be especially
welcomed. A panel discussion on the integration of logic and functional
programming will be a special event at the conference.
Papers must be written in English, must not exceed 15 pages (including
references and figures), and must contain a cover page including the
following: a 200 word abstract, keywords, and postal and electronic
mailing addresses as well as phone numbers and fax numbers of the
responsible author. Submitted papers should not have been previously
published or submitted to any journals or refereed conferences or
workshops. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference.
Send six (6) copies of your submission by April 24, 1995 to

Subject: CFP: Intl Conf on Translation Studies, May 96, Dublin
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of its translation studies
programme the School of Applied Languages, Dublin City University,
Ireland will be hosting an International Conference from the 9-11 May
1996 on the theme:
TRANSLATION STUDIES: UNITY IN DIVERSITY?
Translation studies as a discipline has experienced considerable growth
in recent decades. Each year sees the appearance of new journals,
associations and research initiatives. However, increasing sophistication
and specialisation in the discipline may be counterproductive if
researchers in the different fields of translation studies do not get the
opportunity to talk to one another. To promote cross-fertilisation of
ideas and dialogue in the different domains of translation studies we
will be inviting papers in the following areas:
TRANSLATION THEORY
HISTORY OF TRANSLATION
TERMINOLOGY
MACHINE TRANSLATION
INTERPRETING
TEACHING TRANSLATION
THE TRANSLATION PROFESSION
TRANSLATION AND MINORITY LANGUAGES
MEDIA TRANSLATION
LEXICOGRAPHY
If you would like more information concerning the Conference please

University, Dublin 9, IRELAND at PEARSONJ@DCU.IE.
