bring together basic and applied research. The Conference Technical
Programme will include paper presentations, invited talks, panels,
workshops, and tutorials.

ECAI-96 is organized by the European Coordinating Committee for
Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI) and will be hosted by the John von
Neumann Computer Society (NJSZT, Hungary). The conference venue will be
the Budapest University of Economics.

Submissions are invited on substantial, original and previously
unpublished research in all aspects of AI, including, but not limited
to:

Automated Reasoning; Application and Enabling Technologies; Cognitive
Modelling and Philosophical Foundations; Connectionist and PDP Models of
AI; Distributed AI and Multiagent Systems; Knowledge Representation;
Machine Learning; Natural Language and Intelligent User Interfaces;

Multiple Submission Policy for Papers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Papers that are being submitted to other AI conferences, whether
verbatim or in essence, must reflect this fact on the title page. If a
paper is accepted at more than one conference (with the exception of
specialized workshops), it must be withdrawn from all but one
conference. Papers that do not meet these requirements are subject to
rejection without review. The other major international AI conferences
in August of 1996 are the American Association for Artificial
Intelligence Conference (AAAI-96) to be held August 4-8 in Portland,
Oregon, and the Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (PRICAI'96) to be held August 26-30 in Cairns, Australia.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publication
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accepted papers will be allocated five (5) double-column pages in the
conference proceedings. Camera-ready papers exceeding the page limit and
those violating the instructions to authors will not be included in the
proceedings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors will be required to transfer copyright of their paper to John
Wiley & Sons, Ltd. as the publisher of the ECAI-96 Proceedings.

CALL FOR PAPERS

TEACHING AND LANGUAGE CORPORA (TALC96)

Lancaster University 9 - 12th August 1996

AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE

While the use of computer text corpora in research is now well
established, they are now being used increasingly for teaching
purposes. This includes the use of corpus data to inform and create
teaching materials; it also includes the direct exploration of corpora
by students, both in the study of linguistics and of foreign
languages. Talc96 will build upon the success of Talc94, which brought
together researchers and teachers who are involved in such work, to
take part in an international exchange of current experience and
expertise.

THEMES

KEY THEME: Talc96 will have a special focus on evaluating the claims
made for corpora in linguistics and language teaching. Papers with this
theme are especially welcome.

OTHER THEMES: which the conference is expected to cover include -

1.) The use of corpora in student led learning and investigation.
2.) Software for corpus based language and linguistics learning.
3.) Developing corpora for teaching purposes.
4.) The exploitation of corpus based teaching and learning materials.
and learning materials II
5.) The theory and practice of corpus based teaching and learning.

Papers not falling within those themes, but relevant to the broad
thrust of the conference, are still welcome.

Papers presented at the conference will be of the typical 20 minutes
talk plus ten minutes of questions format.

WORKSHOPS

Talc96 will also host several workshops related to teaching and language
corpora. To give an example of what those workshops may be, Talc94
had a variety of workshops such as "Multilingual Corpus Building" and
"Concordancing and Corpus Retrieval". Should you wish to hold a practical
workshop at Talc96, please follow the submission guidelines below, but
clearly indicate on the submission that you wish it to be considered
as a workshop.

Workshops will be of one to two hour duration.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Those wishing to present a paper at Talc96 should submit an abstract
of 500 - 1000 words by 31/1/96 to

TALC 96,
Department of Linguistics and Modern English
Language,
Lancaster University,
Bailrigg,
GB - Lancaster LA1 4YT,

Submissions by email are welcome. Plain Ascii text should be sent to:

mcenery@computing.lancaster.ac.uk or mcenery@comp.lancs.ac.uk

Authors will be notified by 14/2/96 as to whether their submission has
been succesful. Those authors that are succesful must submit a full
paper by 1/6/96.
