> 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
