ACL '02 Call for Tutorial Proposals
The Program Committee of the 40th Annual Meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics invites proposals for the Tutorial Program for
ACL '02, to be held at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA,
USA, July 7th-12th, 2002 (see http://www.ircs.upenn.edu/acl02/index.shtml).
The tutorials for ACL '02 will be held on July 7th, 2002. Each tutorial
should be well-focused so that its core content can be covered in a
three-hour tutorial slot (including a 30 minute break). However, in
exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are possible as well. There
will be space and time for at most four three-hour tutorials.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
Proposals for tutorials should contain:
* A title and brief (less than 500 words) content description of the
tutorial topic.
* The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the
tutorial speakers, with a one-paragraph statement of the speaker's(s')
research interests and areas of expertise.
* Any special requirements for technical needs (display projector,
computer infrastructure, etc.)
Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII
(iso8859-1) text as soon as possible, but in any case no later than
January 11th, 2002.
Please email your proposals to nhweetou@dso.org.sg, with the subject
line: "ACL '02 TUTORIAL PROPOSAL".
PLEASE NOTE: PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY REGULAR MAIL OR FAX.
PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS
Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by January 25th, 2002 and
must then provide descriptions of their tutorials for inclusion in the
conference registration material by March 29th, 2002. The description
should be in three formats: a latex version that fits onto 1/2 page; an
ASCII (iso8859-1) version that can be included with the email
announcement; and an HTML version that can be included on the conference
home page. Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial materials, at least
containing copies of the overhead transparencies to be used as well as a
bibliography for the material covered in the tutorial by May 10th, 2002.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The current ACL policy is that tutorials are reimbursed at the following
rate: US$500 per session plus $25 per registrant in the range 21-50 plus
$15 per registrant in excess of 50. Note that this is per tutorial, not
per presenter: multiple presenters will split the proceeds, the default
assumption being an even split. The ACL does not usually cover any
further expenses.
