> > Workshop Motivation
> >
> > Recent years have seen major breakthroughs in natural language
processing
> > (NLP) technology based on the development of powerful new techniques
that
> > combine linguistic information and statistical methods. A critical
element
> > that is still lacking, however, is the availability of NLP technology to
> > end users as a default service of any system independently of working
> > environments and application platforms. Despite the heavy usage of some
> > Proofing Tools in specific tasks and environments there are still areas
of
> > computing systems that lack any service provided by such tools. In this
> > respect the workshop on Proofing Tools and Language Technologies aims at
> > sheding light on the availability and services of such tools as well as
> > setting the grounds for their extension to other areas of computer
> > technology.
> >
> >
> > Workshop Objectives
> >
> > The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers, engineers
> > and vendors interested in the advances and real-life applications of
> > various Proofing Tools incorporated in their information systems. The
> > workshop will cover different aspects of Information Systems
Applications,
> > including Database Technology, Natural Language Processing Modules,
> > Systems Integration, Desktop Applications, Information Systems
> > Specification and Services Improvement for sustainable development.
> >
> > The workshop focuses on real world applications; therefore contributors
> > should highlight the benefits of Proofing Tools, Language Technologies
and
> > NLP applications for industrial purposes, suggesting alternatives on how
> > to solve Informantion Systems' problems and improve their performance.
> > Papers describing advanced approaches towards Proofing Tools design and
> > implelementation and survey papers indicating future directions in the
> > area of Information Systems' Applications are strongly encouraged.
Papers
> > describing original work or new approaches in any of the areas listed
> > below are encouraged.
> >
> > Accepted papers, presented at the event will be published in the
> > Proceedings of the Workshop, which will be published after the event and
> > made available via the workshop's web site. Both full research reports
and
> > work-in-progress reports are welcome. A special session dedicated to
> > demonstrations as well as a turorial dedicated to technical and
scientific
> > topics are also envisaged. Industrial and private sector vendors
> > interested in demonstrating their products as well as their
methodologies
> > for Proofing Tools and applications development are invited to submit a
> > short paper indicating the main points of their demos.
> >
> > Topics of Interest
> >
> > We invite submission of papers on topics relevant to Information
Systems'
