Prioritizing Planning Decisions in Real-World Plan Authoring
This paper describes two methods for automatically prioritizing planning decisions. Both approaches have been implemented in PASSAT, a plan-authoring system in which users construct and modify plans interactively using a library of templates.

Globe Year 8 Evaluation: Adapting Implementation to Diverse Contexts
We studied two aspects of adaptation of GLOBE this year (2002-03). We examined how partners have adapted training and follow-up support to meet teacher needs and analyzed GLOBE implementation in a subset of schools in which at least 80% of students come from communities of color that are underrepresented in science.

The Relationship Between Dialogue Acts and Hot Spots in Meetings
We examine the relationship between hot spots and dialogue acts in roughly 32 hours of speech data from naturally-occurring meetings. Results reveal that four independently-motivated involvement categories (non-involved, disagreeing, amused, and other) show statistically significant associations with particular DAs.

RegReg: a Lightweight Generator of Robust Parsers for Irregular Languages
We present a lightweight tool, called RegReg, based on a hierarchy of lexers described by tagged regular expressions. By using tags, the automatically generated parse tree can be easily manipulated.
