[iva] IWCS 2019: extension of deadline

[Simon Dobnik]

[apolohies for x-posting]

We’ve received several requests for extension of the submission deadline and we have decided on the following extension:

Please submit at least an abstract by 15 January so that we can procede with paper bidding and reviewer assignment. Submit the full version of your paper by 22nd January. Please also note that the first submission must be made by 15 January and completely new submissions will not be possible after this date.

Best regards,

Simon, Vera and Stergios

IWCS embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to computational semantics, and everything in between. The main conference will be run from 25-27 May 2019, preceded by workshops on 23-24 May.

> Submission Requirements
> 
> Three types of submission are solicited: long papers, student papers and short papers. All types of papers should be submitted not later than 15th January, 2019.
> 
> Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 10 pages plus references. They will be published in the conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology, and will have a full oral presentation at the conference.
> 
> Student papers should describe original research but the first author must be a student or at least 2/3 of the work on a paper should be completed by students. Papers should not exceed 8 pages plus references. In contrast to long papers, the reviewers will give special support to authors in terms of mentoring and guidance. The papers will have a full oral presentation at the conference in a special student session and will be published in the conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology.
> 
> Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing research) must not exceed 5 pages plus references. They will be published in the conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology, and will have a lightning talk at the conference, followed by a poster/demo session for discussion.
> 
> Papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format via the EasyChair system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2019. Please make sure that you select the right track when submitting your paper. Contact the organisers if you have problems using EasyChair.
