15,2012<BR></STRONG>==========================================================================<BR><BR>The
International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP) is a series<BR>of
conferences with unique focus on Asian Language Processing. The<BR>conference
aims to advance the science and technology of all the aspects of<BR>Asian
Language Processing by providing a forum for researchers in the<BR>different
fields of language study all over the world to meet. The first<BR>meeting of the
series was held in Singapore in 1986 and was called the<BR>"International
Conference on Chinese Computing (ICCC)" then. This meeting<BR>initiated the
study of Chinese and oriental languages processing in<BR>Singapore and resulted
in the formation of COLIPS in Singapore in 1988, as<BR>well as the publication
of the journal "Communications of COLIPS" in 1991,<BR>which is known as
"International Journal on Asian Language Processing"<BR>today.<BR><BR>Over the
years, IALP has developed into one of important anaual events on<BR>nature
language processing in Asia. IALP 2008 was held in Chiang Mai<BR>University,
Thailand and the proceedings were indexed by ISTP/ISI. IALP 2009<BR>was held in
Singapore and was co-organized by COLIPS and IEEE Singapore<BR>Computer Chapter.
IALP 2010 was held in Harbin and was co-organized by<BR>COLIPS and IEEE
Singapore Computer Chapter, Chinese Information Processing<BR>Society of China
and Heilongjiang Institute of Technology (HIT). IALP 2011<BR>was held in Penang,
Malaisia and jointly organized by Chinese and Oriental<BR>Languages Information
Processing Society (COLIPS) of Singapore, IEEE<BR>Singapore Computer Chapter,
and Universiti Sains Malaysia. The proceedings<BR>of IALP 2009,2010 and 2011
were published by CPS (Conference Publication<BR>Services) and submitted for
indexing in EI, ISTP/ISI and Current Contents on<BR>Diskette.<BR><BR>This year,
the International Conference on Asian Language Processing 2012<BR>(IALP 2012)
will be jointly organized by Chinese and Oriental Languages<BR>Information
Processing Society (COLIPS) of Singapore, IEEE Vietnam Computer<BR>Chapter, and
Hanoi University of Science and Technology (and MICA<BR>Institute). The
conference will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam on Nov 13-15,<BR>2012. The 2012
edition (IALP 2012) will focus on under-resourced languages<BR>studies. We will
continue to work with CPS to publish the conference<BR>proceesings. They will be
included in the IEEE Xplore digital library and<BR>submitted for indexing in
INSPEC, EI, ISTP/ISI and Current Contents on<BR>Diskette.<BR><BR>Hanoi
(Vietnamese: Hà Noi, "River Interior") is the capital and<BR>second-largest city
of Vietnam. As the capital of Vietnam for almost a<BR>thousand years. Hanoi
hosts more cultural sites than any city in Vietnam,<BR>including over 600
pagodas and temples.Hanoi is is the social, cultural and<BR>economic center of
the country.The Old Quarter, near Hoan Kiem lake, has the<BR>original street
layout and architecture of old Hanoi. At the beginning of<BR>the 20th century
the city consisted of only about 36 streets, most of which<BR>are now part of
the old quarter. Each street then had merchants and<BR>households specialized in
a particular trade, such as silk traders,<BR>jewellery, etc. The street names
nowadays still reflect these<BR>specializations, although few of them remain
exclusively in their original<BR>commerce. The area is famous for its small
artisans and merchants, including<BR>many silk shops. Local cuisine specialties
as well as several clubs and bars<BR>can be found here also. A night market
(near Ðong Xuân market) in the heart<BR>of the district opens for business every
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday<BR>evening with a variety of clothing, souvenirs
and food.<BR><BR>We welcome you to Vietnam to experience the nature, history,
and cultural in<BR>one of best countries in South-East Asia.<BR><BR>CONFERENCE

must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished<BR>work. Wherever
appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be<BR>included. Submissions
will be judged on correctness, originality, technical<BR>strength, significance,
relevance to the conference, and interest to the<BR>attendees. Each submission
will be reviewed by three program committee<BR>members. Accepted papers will be
presented in one of the oral sessions or<BR>poster sessions as determined by the
program committee.<BR>As the reviewing will be blind, manuscripts must not
include the authors'<BR>names and affiliations. Authors should ensure that their
identities are not<BR>revealed in any way in the paper. Self-references that
reveal the author's<BR>identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...",

(Smith, 1991) ...".<BR>Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be
rejected without<BR>review.<BR><BR>All submissions must be electronic and in
Portable Document Format (PDF)<BR>only. Paper submissions should follow the IEEE
Proceedings' two-column<BR>format without exceeding four (4) pages including
references. We strongly<BR>recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or
Microsoft Word style files<BR>according to IEEE Proceedings' format. Submissions
must conform to the<BR>official style guidelines.<BR><BR>The official language
