The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from several domains

results on projects concerning the optimization of understanding in
multilingual hospital encounters and the possibilities of applying web-based
technologies to this end.

Call for Papers:

Workshop on Optimizing Understanding in Multilingual Hospital Encounters

In this workshop we will bring together participants who have solutions for one or more of the following problems: 

- How can mutual understanding be optimized with the help of technology in hospitals where both patients and professionals have varying language skills, cultural backgrounds and cognitive capacities?
- Can domain ontologies, natural language processing tools, multilingual knowledge-based tools, multilingual terminology resources and other semantic technologies be combined in order to enhance the quality of mutual understanding between humans? 

We invite you to send a short paper (4 pages, presentation time 15 minutes).
