The ICSLP '98 conference will continue the eight year
tradition of the ICSLP series in bringing together professionals from all the diverse
disciplines that contribute to Spoken Language Processing. It will be the premier
international display of the state-of-the-art in this broad field in 1998. The conference
will build bridges between people and sub-disciplines in order to create and nurture
synergies that are important for the future of the field.
Keynote presentations and other plenary events which bring both experience and vision of
multi-disciplinary attacks on grand challenges in spoken language processing in both
humans and machines will contribute to our aims. A student day at which full-time student
registrants may present their ideas under the guidance of senior mentors is also planned.
However, it is the quality of the delegate presentations which will be the major factor in
making ICSLP '98 a truly landmark event. This call for papers offers to you the
opportunity to be a part of this significant event.

Proposed Paper details:
The Topic ID should be a single category from the topic
list specified as an alphabetic letter; if your submission falls within the broad area of
spoken language processing but is not explicitly represented in the topic list, please use
the Z category. The four additional keywords are requested in order to assist the
programme committee in assigning reviewers.
Electronic submission of summaries via the World Wide Web
is preferred. A Summary Submission Form is available via URL = http://cslab.anu.edu.au/icslp98 .
Alternatively, a pro-forma for email submission can be obtained from this URL or by
emailing icslp98@tourhosts.com.au . Email
submissions should be sent to icslp98@one.net.au .
If electronic submission is not possible, postal submissions (4 copies) to the ICSLP '98
Secretariat address specified below will be accepted provided that they adhere to the
above format. Please do NOT fax submissions.
Please note that only ASCII summaries written in English
will be accepted. Do not include any attachments, graphics, or embedded formatting
commands.
Given the large number of submissions we expect to
receive, anything that cannot be printed directly will be rejected without consideration.
You should receive an acknowledgement of receipt within
72 hours of electronically submitting your summary. If this does not happen, then you
should resend your submission by email to icslp98@one.net.au
with the word RESUBMISSION at the beginning of the subject line. If an
acknowledgement is still not forthcoming, an email problem should be assumed, and the
summary submitted by fax. Please do not resubmit or send by fax for any other reasons than
lack of acknowledgement from the conference.

listed authors. That author will be required to register no later than the full-paper
