Traditionally, most research in the field of speech technology has been conducted in very few languages such as English, French, Spanish or Chinese. Recently, many researchers from Arab world and worldwide, have been interested in Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP). Several improvements have been achieved for various language processing components (e.g. morphological analysis, parsing, named entities recognition, audio transcription, acoustic model, language model, phonetic dictionaries, continuous speech recognition, etc), which involved Classical Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), and Colloquial Arabic. We invite submissions for this special session on Arabic Natural Language Processing: Algorithms, Resources, Tools, Techniques and Applications, as part of the First International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA’13), Sharjah, UAE. The focus of this special session is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new directions and emerging trends, exchange information regarding Arabic language processing and their applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, ongoing and planned activities. Algorithms, resources, technologies and applications for processing text, speech and multimodalities are encouraged. In addition, papers integrating speech and/or multimodal with written resources are welcomed. The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers with a generic interest on Arabic NLP to raise awareness of different perspectives and practices, and to identify some common themes. We therefore welcome submissions on a range of topics of interest, including but not limited to:</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
