A session on the Shared Task will be organized in conjunction with the ACL/HLT BioNLP 2011 workshop on 24th June. We would like to encourage participants to submit a manuscript describing their approach and results.
We encourage in particular manuscripts that present careful analysis and discussion of the results, detailing the relevance and contribution of different aspects of their approach.
Manuscripts may be submitted either as full papers (8+2 pages) or short papers (4+2 pages):
Full papers :
- Up to 8 pages (for content) + 2 pages (for references), oral presentation
Short papers :
- Up to 4 pages (for content) + 2 pages (for references), oral presentation
Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should follow the two-column format of ACL/HLT proceedings. Please see the conference website for detailed typesetting specifications. Authors are strongly encouraged to use the style files and formatting instructions available on the ACL/HLT conference website:

Submissions need to be anonymous. All papers will be reviewed by program committee using a double-blind review process. Based on the reviews, some authors may be asked to recast their submissions as short papers or poster abstracts (2 pages).
Submission can be made via the ACL/HLT website:

All accepted papers will be included in the shared task section of the BioNLP workshop proceedings and the authors will be invited to present their work at the shared task session of the workshop.
