Submission of Abstracts

The submission of abstracts will be handled via EasyChair. EasyChair requires authors to be registered.
If you do not have an EasyChair account, please follow the AC2013 submission link. Below the login form there is a link that leads to the registration page. To register for EasyChair, please click on that link and follow the instructions.
To submit your abstract once you have an EasyChair account: Follow the AC2013 submission link, log in, click "New Submission" at the top of the page and follow the instructions.
Please take note of the following submission guidelines: Authors can submit an anonymous abstract of two pages. The rules for submissions for the workshops are like those for the regular program. When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to provide a short 10 line summary clearly indicating subject matter and conclusions (this summary need not be included in the two-page abstract itself). Upon submission please indicate whether your work is to be considered for the general program or for one of the workshops. Submitting the same abstract for more than one category (general programme, session on quantitative data, session on modality) is not allowed. The organizers reserve the right to re-allocate accepted talks to a different category.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 1 September 2013. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 20 October. Extended abstracts, to be included in the proceedings, are due on 1 December. The proceedings of the Amsterdam Colloquium will be downloadable from the AC website during the conference.

Important: The special session on dialogue follows the submission
procedures of the SemDial workshop (deadline 10 September). For details,
