The International Committee on Computational Linguistics invites the

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION:

Papers should be either topical papers (maximum six pages in final
format) or project notes with demonstration (maximum four pages),
preferably in English. Both should describe original work. The
project note should specify the computer platform that will be used.
They should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and
they should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported
results. A paper accepted for presentation at the COLING Conference
cannot be presented at another conference.

Authors should submit four copies of preliminary versions of their
papers with the page limits above, on A4 paper with the title,
