	The major SIGSEM event ~~of 2013 was~~ [http://~~www~~.~~ling~~.~~uni-potsdam~~.de/~~iwcs2013/index.html IWCS~~-~~2013~~], which ~~took~~ place in ~~Potsdam~~, ~~Germany. This was~~ a ~~four~~-day ~~conference (including five workshops and an open-space afternoon~~) ~~attracting over a 100 computational semanticists~~. ~~IWCS~~-2013 received 60 long ~~submissions~~ and 22 short ~~submissions (plus 3 long submissions that~~ were accepted ~~as short). Accepted were 25 long and 16 short papers, resulting in an~~ acceptance rate ~~of 41.7% for long papers and 64~~% ~~for short papers.~~		The major SIGSEM/SIGLEX event in 2014 will be [http://starsem.webhosting.rug.nl/ *SEM-2014], which will take place in Dublin, collocated with COLING (formally organized as a two-day COLING workshop).
	~~Two SIGSEM board members took care of the organisation: Alexander Koller (local matters) and Katrin Erk (programme matters~~)~~. There are three bids to organize IWCS-2015~~.		*SEM-2013 received 90 submissions of which 14 long and 8 short were accepted (acceptance rate: 24%).

	~~Last year (2012), SIGSEM and SIGLEX co~~-~~organised the start of new conference, SEM, which took~~ place ~~in Montreal~~ at ~~NAACL. We see this as a very positive move towards collaboration~~ of the SIGLEX and SIGSEM communities, which have a large overlap in research interests, but historically originated from different angles. See [[2012Q3_Reports:_SIGLEX]] for a more detailed report on SEM. The second edition of SEM is collocated with NAACL in Atlanta this year. Plans for SEM-2014 are currently discussed between the SIGLEX and SIGSEM boards.		IWCS-2015 will take place at Queen Mary University of London.

The current SIGSEM membership counts 841 members. We have started cleaning up the database with members, by removing registered members whose email addresses aren't valid anymore after a couple of email bounces, of people who we can't reach otherwise. There is a reasonably active, moderated mailinglist. See [http://www.sigsem.org SIGSEM].

== Major SIGSEM Events: IWCS and *SEM ==

The major SIGSEM event of 2013 was [http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/iwcs2013/index.html IWCS-2013], which took place in Potsdam, Germany. This was a four-day conference (including five workshops and an open-space afternoon) attracting over a 100 computational semanticists. IWCS-2013 received 60 long submissions and 22 short submissions (plus 3 long submissions that were accepted as short). Accepted were 25 long and 16 short papers, resulting in an acceptance rate of 41.7% for long papers and 64% for short papers.
Two SIGSEM board members took care of the organisation: Alexander Koller (local matters) and Katrin Erk (programme matters). There are three bids to organize IWCS-2015.

Last year (2012), SIGSEM and SIGLEX co-organised the start of new conference, *SEM, which took place in Montreal at NAACL. We see this as a very positive move towards collaboration of the SIGLEX and SIGSEM communities, which have a large overlap in research interests, but historically originated from different angles. See [[2012Q3_Reports:_SIGLEX]] for a more detailed report on *SEM. The second edition of *SEM is collocated with NAACL in Atlanta this year. Plans for *SEM-2014 are currently discussed between the SIGLEX and SIGSEM boards.
