This is a standard award. Automated systems that interact with human users in spoken and written communication will greatly enhance productivity and program usability. These systems will allow friendly access to information services and are essential for people with disabilities, or for accessing databases while performing intricate tasks. Unfortunately, current technology is inadequate for the tasks at hand, and there is a need to make progress. The number of available personnel trained in the field must be vastly increased and solutions to long standing problems must be found. At this time, relatively few universities educate students capable of performing the required tasks. Leading professionals are scattered in various industrial, academic, and governmental institutions, often duplicating each other's work. This award will allow a summer workshop on language engineering to be conducted where mixed teams of leading professionals and students can cooperate to advance the state of the art. The professionals will normally be university professors and industrial and government researchers working in widely dispersed locations. Graduate and undergraduate students will join these teams. The participation of undergraduate students is intended not only as an educational opportunity, but also to broaden the appeal of the language engineering field amongst students considering graduate studies.

这是一个标准奖项。在口头和书面交流中与人类用户交互的自动化系统将大大提高生产力和程序可用性。这些系统将使人们能够友好地获得信息服务，对残疾人或在执行复杂任务时访问数据库至关重要。不幸的是，目前的技术不足以完成手头的任务，需要取得进展。必须大大增加在这一领域受过训练的现有人员的人数，并必须找到长期存在的问题的解决办法。在这个时候，相对较少的大学教育学生能够执行所需的任务。主要的专业人员分散在各种工业、学术和政府机构中，经常互相重复对方的工作。该奖项将允许举办语言工程的夏季研讨会，由领先的专业人员和学生组成的混合团队可以合作推进艺术状态。这些专业人士通常是大学教授以及在广泛分散的地方工作的工业和政府研究人员。研究生和本科生将加入这些团队。本科生的参与不仅是一个教育机会，也是为了扩大语言工程领域对考虑研究生学习的学生的吸引力。
