ACL-07 features a special session for  posters and demonstrations.

Topics of interest cover all aspects of computational linguistics, as

outlined in the main conference call for papers.

Posters and demos will be held on June 25 till June 27, at the main conference venue.

 

Posters should describe original work in progress, and present innovative methodologies used to solve a problem in NLP.

Demos should be concerned with mature systems or prototypes in which  NLP technologies are used to solve practically important problems. Demo papers should describe how the system is used to solve practical problems and should include a discussion of the implementation and case studies of how the system is applied.

 

Submission Procedure

===============================

Authors of posters and demos should submit an original paper

(of no more than 4 pages in ACL07  format,  http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/acl2007/styles/).

3.  any URLs that link to screen-shots, live demos, or related information
