Invitation of Submissions

In the spirit of the Special Session of PROPOR 2008 - Applications of

Portuguese Speech and Language Technologies -, aiming at bringing

together Academia and Industry and creating a forum where more than

written or spoken descriptions of research are available, PROPOR 2010

organizers and PROPOR Steering Committee decided to integrate a Session

on Demonstrations in the program.

The PROPOR 2010 Organizers invite proposals for the Demonstrations

Session. We encourage both university and industry communities from

Portugal, Brazil and any other country working on the Portuguese Natural

Language Processing and Speech Technology to submit proposals reporting

their most recent products, systems, resources or tools for Portuguese.

Areas of interest include any topic of language and speech processing of

Portuguese such as (but not limited to) the topics listed for conference

paper submission

(http://www.inf.pucrs.br/~propor2010/callForPapers.html)

The demonstrations may be of the following kinds:

*  Systems or system components *  Application systems using speech

and/or language technology components *  Software tools for research * 

Software for demonstration or evaluation *  Development tools

Submission Information

In order to submit your demonstration description, enter the JEMS

conference management system https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/ and select

the submission page for PROPOR2010, then fill in the online form, check

out the topics of your paper and upload your file (.pdf format only).

The proposals must be 2 pages in English, non-blinded and following the

LNAI format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions

should contain a brief description of the work, what is going to be

demonstrated and how.

Demos should allow participants to try and test them during their

presentation. It is authors' responsibility to provide the necessary

technical conditions (equipments) for the demo at the conference.

Products, systems, tools are examples of demos.

The accepted proposals will be included on the additional electronic

proceedings (but not in the Springer LNCS) to be distributed to PROPOR

2010 participants.
