Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language -
PROPOR - is the main event in the area of Natural Language Processing that
is focused on Portuguese and the theoretical and technological issues
related to this specific language. 

We cordially invite you to participate in the 7th PROPOR - Workshop on
Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language - Written and
Spoken, to be held in Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, May 13-17, 2006,
in conjunction with the 10th Brazilian Symposium on Programming
Languages.

PROPOR 2006 is sponsored by the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC) and
the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP

We invite the scientific community to submit original and unpublished
research on aspects of Computational Processing of Portuguese,
including, but not limited to:

Linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
Pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon Phonetics,
phonology and morphology Terminology Understanding and generating
natural language Summarization and information extraction Natural
language interfaces and dialogue systems Machine learning for natural
language Speech science and technology Multi-lingual processing, machine
translation and translation aids Tools and resources Evaluation
Applications

Preference will be given to papers reporting original and complete work
on all fields of Computational Processing of Portuguese, especially
those that may contribute in a significant way to the development of the
area. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be
included. We also invite people and institutions in NLP industries to
participate in the Workshop and to benefit from this forum where the
most recent applications can be presented.

Papers must be written in English. We expect to publish the proceedings
as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series of
Springer, as in the previous meeting.

Important dates:

Paper submission: December 20, 2005 
Notification of acceptance: February 20, 2006 
Final version due: March 20, 2006
