Subject: SGML/XML '97

Some readers of this list may find the attached announcement
interesting. Note that although the sponsors of this even continue to
charge industrial rates for registration which surpass what most
academics can bring themselves or their institutions to pay, anyone
who does a poster presentation can get a pass to the conference
sessions that day. The conference itself is one of the most uniformly
informative and useful that I attend, so academics within day-trip
distance of Washington should seriously consider offering a poster and
attending.

Posters may address any SGML- or XML-related topic; important or
offbeat SGML applications (and, for industrial purposes, many academic
projects count as offbeat) are perennial topics, so you might simply
choose to describe your SGML-based project and explain what markup
problems you face and how you have solved them or plan to. If you
have an interest in markup, you may have something more technical to
offer; those who organize the poster program do not frown upon
offering more than one topic.

CALL FOR PAPERS

DAARRC2 - Discourse, Anaphora and Reference Resolution Colloquium
Lancaster University, 1 - 4th August , 1998

Invited Speakers -

Branimir Boguraev "Anaphora in Computational Linguistics"
Prof. Michael Hoey "Looking at the Text Linguistics of Certain Words"
Prof. Pieter Seuren "A Discourse-Semantic Account of Donkey Anaphora"

Anaphora and problems of reference resolution have received a great
deal of attention from workers in linguistics, computational
linguistics, artificial intelligence and information retrieval for a
number of decades. Such problems have proved a major challenge for all
of these fields, and a great many differing theories and solutions have
been proposed and implemented with varying degrees of success. This
colloquium aims to fill a need for researchers in this field to meet.
Our hope is that this meeting will allow all of the different strands
of work to be identified, with a view to producing an up-to-date
review of the field.

To this end, a coloquium will take place from the 1st to the 4th of
August, 1998 at Lancaster University, UK, organized jointly by the
Department of Linguistics, Lancaster University and the Institute for
English Studies, Lodz University, Poland. This colloquium is a follow
up to the highly succesful DAARC colloquium held at Lancaster in 1996.
Our aim this time is specifically geared towards encouraging a
cross-fertilization of ideas between theoretical linguistics, corpus
linguistics and computational linguistics.

Papers are requested for presentation on all aspects of anaphora and
reference resolution. The following research areas are of particular
interest, but do not constitute an exhaustive list:

corpus-based studies of anaphora in natural language, statistical
approaches to reference resolution, cognitive and psychological
perspectives, discourse and text-processing perspectives, information
retrieval and other computer applications, pragmatics and anaphor
resolution, and linguistic-theoretical approaches.

Papers reporting work in any language are welcome. The official
language of the conference, for purposes of publication and
presentation, is English. Research may be work in progress, or work
that has already been completed. Abstracts may be sent either
electronically, by email or fax, or by traditional surface mail. Email
submission of abstracts is, however, strongly encouraged. Details
below.

Abstracts should arrive at Lancaster by 1st February, 1998, and
notification of acceptance will be sent by 14th February, 1998. Draft
versions of full papers should arrive by 30th June, 1998. The
proceedings will be published in time for the colloquium.
