• Application systems using language technology components
• Software tools for computational linguistics research
• Software for demonstration or evaluation
• Development tools

Format for Submissions

Demo proposals consist of the following parts, which should all be sent to the Demo Chairs. Please use the main ACL-IJCNLP paper formatting guidelines.

• An extended abstract of the technical content to be demonstrated, including title, authors, full contact information, references, and acknowledgements.
• A "script outline" of the demo presentation, including accompanying narrative, and either a Web address for accessing the demo or visual aids (e.g., screenshots, snapshots, or diagrams).
• A detailed description of the hardware, software and internet service requirements expected to be provided by the local organizer.

The entire proposal should not be more than four pages.

Submission Procedure

Submission Deadline : March 30, 2009.

Submissions must be received electronically. Please submit your proposals and any inquiries to (both chairs):

Gary Geunbae Lee (gblee@postech.ac.kr) and Sabine Schulte im Walde (schulte@ims.uni-stuttgart.de)

• Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their relevance to computational linguistics, innovation, scientific contribution, presentation, as well as potential logistical constraints.
• Accepted submissions will be allocated maximum four pages in the Companion Volume to the Proceedings of the Conference.
