CALL FOR PAPERS

The Fourth European Symposium on Natural Language Generation 

Pisa - Italy

April 28-30, 1993

This workshop is the fourth in a series of biennial workshops on Natural
Language 
Generation. While the first three were held respectively in France (Abbey
of 
Royaumont), in Scotland (Edinburgh) and in Austria (Judenstein), this one
will take 
place in Italy (Pisa). Following the tradition, we would like to invite
people who 
address the issue of Natural Language Generation from such different
perspectives as 
linguistics, artificial intelligence, psychology, and engineering. 


Papers are invited on original, substantial and unpublished research on all
aspects of 
Natural Language Generation: architectures, knowledge representation and
control, user 
models, text planning, surface generation (lexical choice, determination of
syntactic 
structure), linguistically or psychologically motivated grammar formalisms,
etc. 

Contributions to the workshop will be selected on the basis of a full paper
which must 
be received by the organizers not later than January 30, 1993. Papers will
be reviewed 
by an international programme comittee. Approximately 20 papers will be
accepted for 
presentation at the workshop. Authors will be notified of acceptance by the
end of 
February 1993. 

Contributors are requested to submit three copies of the paper which should
be between 
3000 to 4000 words (exclusive of references and figures). The first page
should include 
the title, the name(s) of the author(s), a short summary and the complete
addresses 
(including fax and e-mail, if possible). Papers not meeting these
requirements will be 
rejected without refereeing. The revised version has to be received by the
organizers by 
April 10, 1993. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings,
available as 
preprints at the workshop. 

Attendance at the workshop can be guaranteed 60 people.If there are more
participants, 
we may allow them to attend the sessions though we cannot provide board and
lodging 
The participation fee will be 150.000 Italian Lira for speakers and 200.000
Italian Lira 
for the rest of the participants This covers the expenses for the opening
cocktail, 
lunches, dinners, coffee breaks and the workshop material. Bookings must be
in by 
March 20, 1993. The organizers need to know by then who will attend the
conference 
in order to make the reservations. Double rooms cost approximately 120.000
Lira, 
single rooms are about 75.000 Italian Lira (breakfast and taxes included).
