Colloquium on Conversational Systems and celebration of ALICE's first ten years online. Guildford, UK, 2-6pm on 25 November 2005. An informal afternoon meeting will be held at which invited speakers will give short presentations on aspects of conversational systems and participants will demonstrate their developed and experimental programs. Conversational systems are intelligent computer interfaces that allow users to interact in plain English, either text or spoken. They represent an advance in human-computer interaction and have wide-ranging potential applications.
The leading open-source conversational system, ALICE, is now ten years old and has won the Loebner Prize three times. Dr Richard Wallace, creator of ALICE and its associated language AIML, will give a presentation and demonstrate the latest developments in this ongoing project.

5 Ways To Get Back On Track With Your New Year's Resolutions
1. Keep your eyes on the prize. Don't focus on how hard it is to change or improve. Keep a laser-beam focus on how your life will be better once you achieve the desired change.2. Ask yourself, "What do I need to do differently?" It will help you identify obstacles much more quickly than asking, "What's wrong with me?" 3.
Mix it up. Do resolutions at different times of the year, not just New Year's. Your birthday and key anniversary dates are good times to examine your life to see which areas need extra attention.4. Don't give up. Too many people call it quits far too soon.
There are thousands of hours left in the year -- more than enough time to make terrific progress.5. Have fun with them. What could be more enjoyable than making positive changes in your life? Remember: resolutions are a gift you give yourself to achieve the life you want.6. Work with a success partner. Find a friend or relative who is working on a goal of their own.
