Date: Wed, 9 Mar 94 14:39:14 GMT From: Russell Collingham Subject: NEW JOURNAL - CALL FOR PAPERS == CALL FOR PAPERS == JOURNAL OF NATURAL LANGUAGE ENGINEERING "Natural Language Engineering" is a new journal, to be launched by CambridgeUniversity Press in 1995. It is an international forum for the disseminationof results concerning the theory and practice of applied natural languageprocessing. The focus is on publications addressing research and developmentissues fundamental to engineering of natural language technologies. A principalconcern will be systems which can operate in realistic applicationenvironments, in terms of their scale, robustness, feasibility, maintenability,usability and system integration. The editors are particularly anxious to respond to identified needs in theresearch community. The field currently lacks an outlet dedicated tocommunicating technology-oriented work. There is also a lack of easilyaccessible reference materials discussing the impact of research incomputational linguistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, andcognitive psychology on the task of engineering for practical natural languageprocessing applications. Original articles are sought, addressing issues in all areas of linguisticengineering; these include, but are not limited, to: adaptive systems; corpusprocessing; delivery of assistance (e.g. help systems, explanation); dialoguemanagement; front ends to computational systems, both single modality andmultimodal; grammar and style checking; information management and access;language teaching aids; lexicon acquisition and implementation; linguisticknowledge bases (e.g. lexica, grammars, term banks); localising formultilingual systems; machine translation; multimedia authoring and deliveryenvironments; performance evaluation; speech and natural language integration;text analysis and content extraction; text generation; tools for naturallanguage processing. Articles may discuss separate technologies, completeapplications, system evaluations, and limitations of particular designs. The review process is specifically designed for speedy publication.
