In its effort to promote and foster the professional growth of the next
generation of MT researchers, AMTA 2008 will feature a new "MT Student
Research Workshop", which will be embedded as an integral part of the
research program at the conference. Students at all levels of study
(undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate) are invited to submit papers
describing their research work. To qualify, the main author of the paper
must be a student or a post-doc. Both completed work as well as work in
progress is eligible for submission. Submissions will be competitively
reviewed by a committee consisting of both advanced MT students and
researchers, in a process similar to the reviewing of submissions to the
main AMTA-2008 research program.
Financial support is being provided by the US National Science Foundation
(NSF) to subsidize participation costs for all students that have a paper
accepted for presentation at the workshop. We anticipate awards of about
$1200-1500 per student, which should cover a large portion if not all
participation costs for attending the AMTA 2008 conference.
Topics
All topics related to MT research are welcome. See the list of topics for
the MT Research Program for a listing of sample topics of interest.
What to submit
Papers should not be longer than 10 pages, formatted using the provided
style for research papers, and in pdf format.
How to submit
AMTA 2008 is using the START conference management system. To submit a
paper to the Student Research Workshop, go to the submission website at:
https://www.softconf.com/starts/amta08/submit.html
and follow the instructions on the web page.
Important: please make sure to select "Student Workshop Paper" as the
Submission Category for the paper. The final submission deadline for
papers is Thursday, July 3 [11:59pm EST (GMT-5:00)].
********Dual Submission Policy:*
*Papers submitted to the AMTA-2008 Student Workshop may be submitted in
parallel to other conferences or workshops, but these must be listed
clearly in the space provided on the submission web page. If accepted
for publication elsewhere, authors must withdraw the paper from one of
the two venues and notify the workshop contacts as soon as possible.*
