CLAW96
FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON
CONTROLLED LANGUAGE APPLICATIONS (CLAW96)
26-27 March 1996
University of Leuven
Faculty of Arts
Centre for Computational Linguistics
Blijde-Inkomststraat 21, Leuven, Belgium
CONTEXT
Both in industrial and academic circles, we have recently
witnessed a growing interest in the use of restricted languages,
either for improved communication purposes, or as a way to ensure
better success for NLP applications. An example of the former is
the well-known use of AECMA Simplified English in the aerospace
industry (sometimes supported by NLP tools). For the latter, one
of the starting points is that "natural language is a wild and
unruly animal", so imposing restrictions on it before
processing it may yield better computational results than trying
to process non-restricted input. Approaches in use to date
include the usage of restricted language checkers as front-ends
for machine translation.
Through the LRE-2 project SECC, the EC is sponsoring the first
edition of the International Workshop on Controlled Language
Applications (CLAW). Additional sponsoring was obtained from the
network for Computational Linguistics in Flanders (CLIF).
Goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and
developers (both academic and industrial), as well as users and
potential users of applications that incorporate a form of
controlled language.
INVITED PAPERS
The two-day workshop will feature some 20 presentations of
ongoing work, as well as demonstrations of commercially available
systems and systems in development.
WORKSHOP VENUE
The workshop is held in the Faculty of Arts, Blijde-Inkomststraat
21, where all presentations, coffee breaks, and demonstrations
will take place.

Subject: Announcement: Summer School Language and Speech, Jul 96, Budapest
THE FOURTH EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL ON LANGUAGE AND SPEECH COMMUNICATION
DIALOGUE SYSTEMS
* * * *
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY 8-19 JULY 1996
INTRODUCTION
The fourth European Summer School on Language and Speech Communication will be
organised at the Technical University of Budapest from July 8-19 1996. The
topic will be Dialogue Systems. There has been a growing interest over recent
years in the theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and
use of computer systems which are able to participate in spoken or written
language dialogues.
Some of the questions which have occupied the researchers include the
following:
* what kind of information should be included in a dialogue model?
* what does it mean to "co-operate" in dialogue?
* is it necessary to model the beliefs of the other party?
* how much planning is required in dialogue?
* how should a dialogue system be specified?
* is there any benefit in simulating systems before building them?
* how do people react to dialogue systems?
* what happens in multimodal dialogues?
* what is the relationship between human-human and
human-computer dialogue?
* what is the effect of task domain on dialogue structure?
* how can dialogue failures be recognised and repaired?
* how should dialogue systems be evaluated?
* what practical applications exist for dialogue technology?
These, and many other questions relating to dialogue systems will be addressed
by leading practitioners in the field.
The courses will be a mixture of short plenary sessions dedicated to surveys
or particularly difficult or controversial topics, and weekly courses of 5x2
hours or 5x1 hours held in plenary or in parallel. Several of the courses will
set practical exercises, and there will be ample opportunities for students to
present their own work. As is fitting in a Summer School on dialogue,
participants will be encouraged to play an active part in the learning
process. Background knowledge in a relevant area such as linguistics, speech
processing, artificial intelligence, computer science or psychology would be
useful, but no prior experience in the area of dialogue systems will be
assumed. The Summer School is open to undergraduate students, PhD students,
postdocs, and staff members from academic and industrial sites.
PROGRAM COMMITTEE
The program committee for this year's Summer School consists of Niels Ole
Bernsen (Roskilde University, Denmark), Norman Fraser (Vocalis, United
Kingdom), Klara Vicsi (Technical University of Budapest, Hungary), with the
help of Louis Boves (KPN Research, The Netherlands), Steven Krauwer, Gerrit
Bloothooft (Utrecht University), Joaquim Llisterri (Universitat Autonoma de
Barcelona) as advisers.
LOCAL ORGANISER
Klara Vicsi (Technical University of Budapest)
LOCAL COMMITTEE
Geza Gordos (Technical University of Budapest), Laszlo Kalman (Lorand Eoetvoes
Scientific University), Geza Nemeth (Technical University of Budapest),
Andras Illenyi (Technical University of Budapest), Gabor Proszeky (MorphoLogy),
Gyoergy Takacs (Ericcson), Klara Vicsi (Technical University of Budapest)
SPONSORS
This year's school is sponsored by the European Network in Language and Speech
(ELSNET), the Copernicus Program: ELSNET goes East, and supported by the
European Speech Communication Association (ESCA) and the European Chapter of
the Association of Computational Linguistics (EACL). Local support is provided
by the Technical University of Budapest, the National Scientific Research
Fund, and SUN Europe.
GENERAL INFORMATION
VENUE
The Summer School will be held at the Technical University of Budapest. The
University was founded in 1782 by King Joseph II. It was reorganised as the
Royal Palatine Joseph Technical University in 1871. Since 1949 it has been
called the Technical University of Budapest and developed into one of the
largest institutions of higher education in Hungary and is one of central
Europe's most important research centres. Today, more than 110 departments and
institutes operate within the structure of seven faculties at the TUB. About
1600 lecturers, 350 researchers, numerous invited lecturers and practical
specialists participate in education and research at the TUB. Approximately
10% of the 9.000 students are from 40 countries abroad.
The capital of Hungary, Budapest has a special geographical location. It is
situated along a 28 km stretch along the Danube which divides the city into two
parts: the hills of Buda and the plain of Pest. Budapest is often called the
"Pearl of the Danube".
TRAVEL
Budapest can easily be reached by air or train from all major European cities.
An Airport Minibus service is available from the airports to each hotel. The
cost for one fare is approximately 800 HUF (8 DM or 5,5 USD, much less than
the taxi price). Railway Stations are connected with Public Transportation.
One ticket for tram, bus or metro costs 50 HUF (0,5 DM or 0,3 USD) and must be
purchased in advance at metro stations or in kiosks.
REGISTRATION
The emphasis of the Summer School is on small-group work and on interaction
between participants and staff. The number of participants will therefore be
limited to 60. Because it is expected that the Summer School will be
oversubscribed, pre-registration is strongly recommended.
Deadline for pre-registration: May 1, 1996
To ensure that participants have the opportunity to attend the school from a
wide range of countries and disciplines, notices of acceptance will not be sent
before the pre-registration deadline.
Deposits will then become due for those who have been offered a place.
Applicants who cannot be offered a place at that time will be put on a
waiting list and be given a final decision as soon as possible, but by June 1
at the latest.
PARTICIPATION FEES
full time students 130 USD or 190 DM
academic staff members 260 USD or 380 DM
employees of industry 520 USD or 760 DM
Deadline for payment: June 1 1996
Late payment after 1 June:
full time students 143 USD or 210 DM
academic staff members 286 USD or 418 DM
employees of industry 572 USD or 836 DM
ACCOMMODATION COSTS
Youth Hostel located in the University Campus (very moderate quality)
2 persons/room and common showers at each floor
USD 15/person/night (breakfast included)
[total 195 USD for 13 nights]
Middle category hotel (two stars), 15 minutes from the University by tram
Double rooms with shower in each room
for a single person USD 68/night
[total 884 USD for 13 nights]
for two persons USD 38/night/person
[total 494 USD for 13 nights]
(breakfast included)
The ACCOMMODATION COSTS and the PARTICIPATION FEE should be
paid together at the same time.
DEADLINE FOR FULL PAYMENT: June 1 1996
Payment can be made only by bank transfer or bank check.
Unfortunately we are not able to accept credit cards.

CANCELLATION
If an accepted applicant has to withdraw from the summer school, fees paid will
be returned (-20 USD handling charge). The withdrawal should be received before
1st of June. In the event of withdrawal after 1st of June, the applicant will
forfeit 50 % of the paid fees.
GRANTS
Some limited grants will be made available for students from Central or Eastern
Europe. To be eligible for this grant, one should write a well-argumented
letter to the local organiser Dr. Klara Vicsi (address at the end of the
booklet). In this letter one should write something about his/her background
in the Language and Speech Technology, and make it clear why he/she would like
to attend the Summer School. A letter of recommendation, written by his/her
professor will certainly be advantageous. The pplication will be
transfered for evalution to ELSNET goes East.
CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE
Students who attend lectures regularly will be given a Certificate of
Attendance. With the agreement of the student's home university, the courses
taken as part of the summer school may be recognised as credits for the
student's course of study.
SOCIAL EVENTS
The summer school fee will include welcome and farewell parties. An optional
programme of outings and visits will be organised, which will enable
participating students to get to know each other better, and to be introduced
to the culture and history of Hungary.
Excursions at the weekend:
1. Szentendre
Sightseeing in the small medieval town at 20 km from Budapest, well known for
its picturesque old streets, 18th century houses and churches. Visit to the
Open Air Museum.
2. Kecskemet the Hungarian "puszta"
Sightseeing in the city, where you can find beautiful examples of the Hungarian
art nouveau architecture. Visit a horse-show at Lajosmizse puszta.
