*** 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS ***
NLDB05 - X INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON APPLICATIONS OF NATURAL LANGUAGE TO INFORMATION SYSTEMS
June 15-17, 2005, Alicante, Spain
http://www.nldb.org
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission Due: 22 January 2005
Notification of Acceptance: 16 February 2005
Camera-ready Paper Due: 25 February 2005
Conference: 15-17 June 2005
Hosted by University of Alicante, Spain.
NLDB05 continues the series of NLDB conferences: NLDB'95 (Versailles, France), NLDB'96 (Amsterdam, The Netherlands),
NLDB'97 (Vancouver, Canada), NLDB'99 (Klagenfurt, Austria), NLDB'00 (Versailles, France), NLDB'01 (Madrid, Spain),
NLDB'02 (Stockholm, Sweden), NLDB'03 (Burg, Germany) and NLDB05 (Manchester, United Kingdom).
Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together researcher, industrials and potential users interested in various application of Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems field.
The integration of databases and natural language has been an utopia for many years. However, progress has been made and this is now an established field thanks to developments in Natural Language and technologies that made the storage and manipulation of large electronic dictionaries possible. As Information Systems are now evolving into the communication area, the term databases should be considered in the broader sense of information and communication systems.
The use of Natural Language in Software Engineering has contributed to both improving the development process from the viewpoints of developers (improve the process of conceptual modeling, validation, etc) and the usability of applications
SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
Papers are invited on recent, substantial, original, and unpublished
research on all aspects of Natural Language Processing related
areas, including, but not limited to the following topics:

Natural language interfaces for modeling and/or querying DW's
XML, Semistructured, document data warehouses
Intelligent data warehouses
Natural language for text mining
We welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest to the NLP
community, but we particularly encourage submissions that broaden the
scope of our community through the consideration of practical NLP
applications. We also invite people from industry working on NLP to send
us their submissions and offer an opportunity to discuss and demonstrate
their latest applications.
Submitted papers should describe original work, completed or in
progress, rather than merely planned, and clearly indicate the
current state of advancement of the work. No previously
published papers should be submitted. Simultaneous submission to other
conferences is allowed provided it is explicitly indicated on the
identification page.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors should submit original manuscripts via the NLDB2005 Web site, as PostScript
or PDF files. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series (Confirmation pending).
Springer-Verlag publishes a full-text electronic version of LNCS in
parallel with the printed version, so the electronic source of accepted
papers will be required (LaTeX 2e format is preferred).
