Introduction

The 21th Conference of the Spanish Society for Natural Language Processing 
(SEPLN) will take place on September 14-16, 2005 in Granada (Spain). As in 
previous editions, the aim of SEPLN for this Conference is to promote the 
dissemination of research, development and innovation activities conducted 
by Spanish and foreign researchers in the field of Natural Language 
Processing (NLP). The conference will provide a forum for discussion and 
communication to facilitate an effective exchange of knowledge and 
scientific materials that are necessary for promoting the publication of 
relevant work and the establishment of means of collaboration with national 
and international Institutions that are active in this field.

Objectives

The main motivation of this conference is to provide the business and 
scientific communities with an ideal forum for presenting their latest 
research work and developments in the field of Natural Language Processing, 
as well as to demonstrate the possibilities offered by these solutions and 
to know about new projects. Consequently, the 21th SEPLN Conference is a 
meeting place for presenting results and exchanging ideas concerning the 
present state of development in this field of knowledge.

Furthermore, there is the intention of meeting the goal, achieved in 
previous editions, of identifying future paths for basic research and 
foreseen software applications, in order to compare them against the market 
needs. Finally, the conference intends to be an appropriate forum in 
helping new professionals to become active members in this field.
