<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Meeting Description: The International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP) is one of a series of <BR>conferences with unique focus on Asian Language Processing. The conference aims <BR>to advance the science and technology of all the aspect of Asian Language <BR>Processing by providing a forum for researchers in different fields of language <BR>study all over the world to meet. The first meeting of IALP was held in <BR>Singapore in 1986 and was called the International Conference on Chinese <BR>Computing (ICCC). This meeting initiated the study of Chinese and Asian <BR>languages processing in Singapore and resulted in the formation of COLIPS in <BR>Singapore in 1988, as well as the publication of the journal titled 'Journal of <BR>Chinese Language and Computing' since 1991. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Last year, IALP 2008 was held in Chiang Mai University, Thailand and the <BR>proceedings were indexed by ISTP/ISI. This year's IALP 2009 will be held in <BR>Singapore and is co-organized by COLIPS and IEEE Singapore Computer Chapter. <BR>The proceedings have been accepted by IEEE CPS (Conference Publication <BR>Services) for publication. IEEE CPS will submit it for indexing in EI, ISTP/ISI <BR>and Current Contents on Diskette (</FONT><A href="http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps" rel=nofollow target=_blank><FONT color=#000000>http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps</FONT></A><FONT color=#000000>) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>IALP2009 is now organized into 6 tracks: <BR>1.Linguistics and Language Studies <BR>2.Computational Linguistics <BR>3.Language Information Processing (Information extraction, analysis etc) <BR>4.Language Technologies (Input, output, font, recognition, synthesis etc) <BR>5.Computer-aided Language Learning <BR>6.Machine Translation <BR>Linguistic Subfield: Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics </FONT></DIV>
