Nancy, "City of Art and History", the historical
capital of Lorraine (the north-eastern part of France)
welcomes you to the 8th International Workshop on Parsing
Technologies. The Laboratoire Lorrain de Recherche en
Informatique et ses Applications (LORIA) in Nancy, France
will host the 8th International Workshop on Parsing
Technologies (IWPT'03) from 23 to 25 April, 2003.

IWPT'03 continues the tradition of biennial workshops
on parsing technology organised by SIGPARSE, the Special
Interest Group on Parsing of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (ACL). This workshop series
was initiated by Masaru Tomita in 1989. The first
workshop, in Pittsburgh and Hidden Valley, was
followed by workshops in Cancun (Mexico) in 1991;
Tilburg (Netherlands) and Durbuy (Belgium) in 1993;
Prague and Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic) in 1995;
Boston/Cambridge (Massachusetts) in 1997; Trento (Italy)
in 2000, and Beijing (China) in 2001.
