ESSLLI-2002 STUDENT SESSION FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS August 5-16 2002, Trento, Italy Deadline: February 25th, 2002 www.iccs.informatics.ed.ac.uk/~malvi/esslli02 We are pleased to announce the Student Session of the 14th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI-2002) organised by the Centre for scientific and technological research (ITC-irst) in Trento and by the University of Trento, under the auspices of the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI). ESSLLI-2002 will be held in Trento from August 5-16 2002. We invite submission of papers for presentation at the ESSLLI-2002 Student Session and for appearance in the proceedings. PURPOSE: This seventh ESSLLI Student Session will provide, like the other editions, an opportunity for ESSLLI participants who are students to present their own work in progress and get feedback from senior researchers and fellow-students. The ESSLLI Student Session encourages submissions from students at any level, from undergraduates (before completion of the Master Thesis) as well as postgraduates (before completion of the PhD degree). Papers co-authored by non-students will not be accepted. Papers may be accepted for full presentation (30 minutes including 10 minutes of discussion) or for a poster presentation. All the accepted papers will be published in the ESSLLI-2002 Student Session proceedings, which will be made available during the summer school. KLUWER BEST PAPER AWARD: As in previous years, the best paper will be selected by the programme committee and will be offered a prize by Kluwer Academic Publishers to be spent on books. REQUIREMENTS: The Student Session papers should describe original, unpublished work, completed or in progress that demonstrates insight, creativity, and promise. No previously published papers should be submitted. Note that the ESSLLI02 school will be focussed on the three main interdisciplinary areas (Logic & Language, Logic & Computation, and Language & Computation), while the single areas have been dropped. Given the high interest shown over the years, the Student Session will keep two of the single areas, namely Logic and Language, welcoming thus submissions within the following topics: Logic, Language, Logic & Language, Logic & Computation, Language & Computation. FORMAT OF SUBMISSION: Student authors should submit an anonymous full paper headed by the paper title, not to exceed 7 pages of length exclusive of references and send a separate identification page (see below). Note that the length of the final version of the accepted papers will not be allowed to exceed 10 pages. Since reviewing will be blind, the body of the abstract should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)... ") should be avoided. It is possible to use instead references like "Smith (1991) previously showed...". For any submission, a plain ASCII text version of the identification page should be sent separately, using the following format: Title: title of the submission First author: firstname lastname Address: address of the first author ...... Last author: firstname lastname Address: address of the last author Short summary: abstract (5 lines) Subject area (one of): Logic | Language | Logic and Language | Logic and Computation | Language and Computation If necessary, the program committee may reassign papers to a more appropriate subject area. The submission of the extended abstract should be in one of the following formats: PostScript, PDF, RTF, or plain text. But note that, in case of acceptance, the final version of the paper has to be submitted in LaTeX format. Please, use A4 size pages, 11pt or 12pt fonts, and standard margins. Submissions outside the specified length and formatting requirements may be subject to rejection without review. The paper and separate identification page must be sent by e-mail to: malvi@cogsci.ed.ac.uk by FEBRUARY 25th 2002 ESSLLI-2002 INFORMATION: In order to present a paper at ESSLLI-2002 Student Session, at least one student author of each accepted paper has to register as a participant at ESSLLI-2002.
