The symposium will serve as a forum for researchers and participants who have been working on the languages of diverse families spoken to exchange ideas and information. Moreover, as 1995 has been declared the National Information Technology Year of Thailand, on behalf of the government of Thailand through the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center, Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, the organizing committee would like to extend an invitation to all who are interested in NLP to participate in this symposium from August 2-4, 1995. TOPICS OF INTEREST Submissions are invited on substantial, original, and previously unpublished research and applications of natural language processing, especially those of Asian languages. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Natural Language Understanding * Machine Translation * Discourse Processing * Local Language Processing and Applications * Character Recognition and Font Development * Speech Recognition and Synthesizing * Word Processing and Collaborative Writing * NLP Product Development * I/O Processing including of CD Storage * Database Design and Text Search SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit THREE copies of papers, written in English, of up to 20 double-spaced A4-size pages, presenting the results of original research or innovative practical applications relevant to one or more of the topics of interest. Submissions should be received by the Program Chair by March 15, 1995. Each paper must have a separate page with the title, full name of all authors and their complete addresses, affiliations, telephones, faxes and email addresses. The first page of the manuscript should contain the title and an abstract of 100-200 words. All papers will undergo a review process. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings. PROPOSALS In addition to papers, we will be accepting proposals for panel discussion and proposals for tutorials. Topics and desired participants should be presented in a summary of up to 1000 words. IMPORTANT DATES March 15, 1995: Three copies of papers and proposals are due. April 30, 1995: Author notifications will be mailed. June 30, 1995: Camera-ready copies are due.
