PROPOR 2006 - CALL FOR PAPERS

We cordially invite you to participate in the 7th PROPOR - Workshop on
Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language - Written and
Spoken, to be held in Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, May 13-17,
2006, in conjunction with the 10th Brazilian Symposium on
Programming Languages.

PROPOR 2006 is sponsored by the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC)
and the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP

We invite the scientific community to submit original and unpublished
research on aspects of Computational Processing of Portuguese,
including, but not limited to:

Linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
Pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon
Phonetics, phonology and morphology
Terminology
Understanding and generating natural language
Summarization and information extraction
Natural language interfaces and dialogue systems
Machine learning for natural language
Speech science and technology
Multi-lingual processing, machine translation and translation aids
Tools and resources
Evaluation
Applications

Preference will be given to papers reporting original and complete
work on all fields of Computational Processing of Portuguese,
especially those that may contribute in a significant way to the
development of the area. Wherever appropriate, concrete
evaluation results should be included. We also invite people and
institutions in NLP industries to participate in the Workshop and to
benefit from this forum where the most recent applications can be
presented.

Papers must be written in English. We expect to publish the
proceedings as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence Series of Springer, as in the previous meeting.

Papers must be submmitted in PDF, following the LNAI
format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
not exceeding 10 pages.


Important dates:

Paper submission: December 20, 2005
Notification of acceptance: February 20, 2006
Final version due: March 20, 2006
