recently SUMMAC (summarization evaluation conferences). Emphasizes
evaluation of systems on a common task.
<ul>
<li>SUMMAC comprises three tasks of which one is a "Q & A"
task. See

</a> for more details. The Q & A they define has some significant 
differences from the dialogue with documents task.
