Submission instructions

Two types of submissions are invited: full papers and poster abstracts. Submissions are due by 11:59pm EST on March 26, 2007. Submit your paper or abstract via the ACL BioNLP 2007 site at http://www.softconf.com/acl07/ACL07-WS5/.

Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages including references. These are intended to be reports of original and mature research.

Poster abstracts should not exceed two (2) pages. Accepted abstracts will be published in a separate section of the workshop proceedings. Appropriate poster topics include preliminary results, application notes, descriptions of work in progress, etc.

Format: Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Please see the conference website for detailed typesetting specifications. Authors are strongly encouraged to use the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style files available on the ACL meeting website (http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/acl2007/styles/). Authors who cannot submit a PDF file electronically should contact the workshop organizers well in advance of the submission deadline.

Reviewing of submissions will be blind. Do not include author names in the paper. Avoid self-references—instead of "As we showed in Smith et al. 1999...", say "As Smith et al. 1999 showed...." The paper submission software will allow you to enter full author information separately from your paper. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two program committee members.
