Call for Papers
Proposals regarding original and previously unpublished research on minority languages are invited in three formats: colloquia, individual papers and posters. Proposals should fall broadly within the conference theme.
Proposals for colloquia
Colloquia are collections of paper presentations that relate to a narrowly defined topic of interest, and are offered in a three-hour time block. Proposals for colloquia are limited to 700 words, and should include brief summaries of each of the papers to be included, along with paper titles and individual authors’ names. Sufficient detail should be provided to allow peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. The person submitting a proposal for a colloquium is responsible for securing the permission and co-operation of all participants before the proposal is submitted. A chair for the session must also be identified. Although the proposals should be submitted in English, the language of the colloquia may be chosen freely.
The submission deadline for proposals for colloquia is October 1, 2008. Submissions should be sent to icml@lists.ut.ee
Proposals for individual papers or posters
Please submit by e-mail a one-page (500-word) abstract of your paper or poster, including your name, affiliation, address, phone and e-mail address at the end of your abstract. The abstract should include enough detail to allow reviewers to judge the scientific merits of the proposal. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by the members of the Scientific Committee of ICML XII. We kindly ask you to attach to your abstract a short presentation of your professional activities (in third person singular form) in maximally 150 words.
We will accept for presentation by each author:
- a maximum of one first authored paper/poster and
- a maximum of two papers/posters in any authorship status.
At the time of submission you will be asked whether you would like your abstract to be considered for a poster, a paper or both.
Oral papers will be allotted 30 minutes, allowing 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Posters will be on display for a full day with two attended sessions during the day. The official language of the conference is English.
The submission deadline for proposals for individual papers and posters is November 1, 2008. Submissions should be sent to icml@lists.ut.ee
Acknowledgement of receipt of the abstract will be sent by e-mail as soon as possible after the receipt. You will receive notification of acceptance no later than December 20, 2008.
