The  recent  availability  of  sophisticated  toolkits   for

developing large-scale finite   state systems  has  fostered

the   development    of   manually-constructed  finite-state

language resources and  applications for many languages.  As

a follow-up to the  recent Workshop on Finite-State  Methods

in  Natural Language  Processing, FSMNLP  2003, held  during

EACL 2003  in Budapest,  we would  like to  solicit from the

workshop participants,  as well  as other  researchers, full

length papers on the use of finite-state techniques for  the

development   of    language   processing    resources   and

applications.  We  would  especially  encourage  submissions

addressing  novel  issues  and  aspects  of   lesser-studied

languages.
