Second Call for Papers
TKE '99
Multimedia and Content for a New Millennium
5th International Congress on Terminology and Knowledge Engineering
Innsbruck (Austria) 24-28 August 1999
organized by
Association for Terminology and Knowledge Transfer (GTW)
International Information Centre for Terminology (Infoterm)
International Network for Terminology (TermNet)
Objectives of the Congress
On behalf of the Association for Terminology and Knowledge Transfer -
Gesellschaft fuer Terminologie und Wissenstransfer (GTW) we are
pleased to announce the 5th International Congress on Terminology and
Knowledge Engineering TKE '99 which will be held on the campus of the
University of Innsbruck, Austria, between 24-28 August 1999. In
continuation of the first four TKE Congresses in Trier (1987 and
1990), Cologne (1993) and Vienna (1996), TKE'99 will address
world-wide interests in the interdisciplinary methods of Terminology
Science, Information Science and Computer Science. It should
furthermore help to achieve the "universal availability of information
and knowledge" via computerized methods, multimedia content-oriented
net applications and other tools, open new horizons for more efficient
applications based upon this integration of methodologies and elicit
the interest and participation of experts working in the fields that
are gradually drawing nearer from the point of theory and methodology
such as Terminology research Knowledge engineering Language
engineering Computational philosophy Classification theory Information
& documentation Computer-assisted instruction/learning Computerized
terminography Specialized translation Technical writing
We welcome submissions of papers describing substantial, original and
unpublished research contributions in these fields. TKE '99 will be
divided into 8 sections concentrating on the following areas of
research:
- Knowledge Theory and Terminology
- Knowledge Data Management
- Multimedia and Content
- Language Engineering and Terminology
- Documentation and Terminology
- World Wide Web and Terminology
- Multilingualism and Terminology
- Specialist Communication and Terminology
Authors will be asked to identify the sections to which their
submissions correspond. Contributions that do not fall into any of the
above areas but are nevertheless relevant to the field are also
welcome. The working language of the Congress is English. This refers
to the written contributions as well as to their oral presentations.
Authors are asked to provide an abstract (approx. 2 pages) of their
papers to the programme organizer (Peter Sandrini, Innsbruck) by 15
October 1998 at the latest. The title page is to show the title of the
paper, the author's name, address, phone number and fax number, and
the section to which he/she is planning to contribute. The abstracts
should be sent preferably by e-mail (a submission form is available on
the TKE home page: http://gtw-org.uibk.ac.at), by mail (4 copies) or
by fax. Abstracts undergo a reviewing process carried out by the
Programming Committee and the section organizers. By the end of
November 1998 the authors will be informed about the acceptance of
their papers. There will be time until February 1999 to submit a full
paper in A4 camera-ready format and on floppy disk (approx. 10 pages
for the session papers and 15 pages for the keynotes), which will be
processed for publication in the proceedings and printed prior to the
Congress. The proceedings will be available for the participants at
the beginning of the Congress.
Workshops / Tutorials
Proposals for Workshops and/or tutorials within the framework of the
Congress are welcomed and should be sent as soon as possible to the
programme organizer.
