*** EXTENDED DEADLINE 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: 01 February 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Papers are invited on recent, substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of Natural Language Processing related areas, including, but not limited to the following topics: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 for Web Information-Intensive Services
Semantic information retrieval Semantic Web Semi-structured models and associated languages Web usage, content and structure mining for discovering semantics Concept taxonomies and web mining Learning taxonomies and ontologies from the web Information extraction with machine learning Document classification and indexation
Natural Language in Conceptual Modelling
Analysis of natural language descriptions Requirement engineering Terminological ontologies Paraphrasing Dynamic modelling Verification, consistency checking Metadata harvesting
Natural Language Interfaces for Data Base Querying/Retrieval
Natural languages interfaces for database querying Verification of database queries by paraphrasing Semantic analysis for information retrieval NL interaction with databases
Natural-Language-Based Integration of Systems
Linguistic aspects of view integration Linguistic aspects of data warehouses Natural language queries to multi-databases systems Data integration and data cleansing Ontology driven integration Ontology management
Large-Scale Online Linguistic Resources
Electronic dictionaries Question-answer corpora Informal ontologies Linguistic databases Digital libraries
Applications of Computational Linguistics in Information Systems
Multilingual information systems NLP in requirements engineering NLP in knowledge management Ontology-driven NLP Semiotics and fundamentals
Management of Textual Databases
Text classification Information extraction and detection Text mining for creating metadata Document management Hypertext and Hyperbases
Natural language on data warehouses (DW) and data mining (DM) Ontologies and conceptual modeling of DW's 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).
