Session Description

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is  
spreading across the world. For many years, the English Language was  
dominating all aspects of ICT systems that span from their  
development to their use. However, in the last few years many nations  
have felt the need to use their own language to spread the use of ICT  
among their populations and communities and also in some situations  
to protect their language and culture. This is certainly true for the  
Arab world where there are many initiatives to advance research,  
development and arabisation of ICT systems. This sessions aims at  
bringing together researchers and developers interested in topics  
that include but not limited to:

Developing culturally and linguistically aware Information Systems  
for tha Arab world.
Choice of info rmation systems development methodologies for the Arab  
world.
Standardising Arabic Information Processing Vocabulary
Building of Arabic Ontologies, taxonomies and dictionaries.
Arabic Information extraction systems
Arabic Web-development
Machine translation systems for the Arabic Language
Arabic natural language processing
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and  
contribution. It is IBIMA policy to send complete papers to two  
reviewers for full blind peer review and to send a summary of review  
back to the author(s). Short papers/abstracts will be reviewed by  
reviewer and/or the editor. All review comments and suggestions  
should be addressed in the final submission. Submitted Papers must  
not have been previously published or currently submitted for  
publication elsewhere.

Please send your manuscript, indicating the session name to  
f.meziane at salford.ac.uk
