Meeting Description:

We are happy to announce an international conference on natural  
language processing and more specifically the Amazigh language: The  
First International Symposium on Automatic Processing of the Amazigh  
Language SITACAM'09

Because the integration of information technology and communication in  
learning the Amazigh language is vital to having full citizenship in  
the digital world, we are convening a meeting of experts in the field  
of automatic processing of the Amazigh language. The promotion of  
Amazigh culture can help contribute to development and economic  
progress. Amazigh has been under-funded for computational efforts.  
Therefore, scientific and linguistic research efforts are being made  
to improve this situation. The design and implementation of  
applications that can handle Amazigh language data are increasingly  
required for the development and sustainability of Amazigh culture.  
This scientific event is part of this framework and provides a forum  
for dialogue between researchers and experts contributing to the  
implementation of strategies, models and systems able to deal with  
Amazigh characters, words and documents. The theme for this first  
conference is 'The Computerization of the Amazigh:!
  Challenges and Opportunities'.
