1. Requirements

      Papers should describe original work. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees. A paper accepted for presentation at the SNLP2007 cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with previously published work.

2. Submission Information

      Submissions should follow a two-column format and should not exceed six (6) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of SNLP2007 Style files tailored for SNLP2007. The files and a description of the format are available in the submission site.

      Submission Site: http://naist.cpe.ku.ac.th/snlp2007

      Note that full paper submissions are restricted to 6 pages.

      Note also that as reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Kim, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Kim, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to the requirements above are subject to be rejected without review.
