*Call for Paper**s**: **Oriental COCOSDA 200**8***

The oriental chapter of COCOSDA (The International Committee for the 
Co-ordination and Standardization of Speech Databases and Assessment 
Techniques) is pleased to announce that the 11th Oriental COCOSDA 
Workshop will be held on Nov. 25-27, in Kyoto, Japan hosted by the 
National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan 
(NICT) and Advanced Telecommunication Research Institute International 
(ATR). Oriental COCOSDA is an international workshop held annually by 
the oriental chapter of COCOSDA. The first preparatory meeting was held 
in Hong Kong in 1997 and then the past ten workshops were held in Japan, 
Taiwan, China, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, 
and Vietnam. Since the first Oriental COCOSDA meeting was a preparatory 
workshop, this year workshop is the 10-years’ anniversary of the 
Oriental COCOSDA.

 

Oriental COCOSDA workshop in Japan will help in boosting the research 
and development in the field of Speech Technology and will help in 
enthusing the interest towards Speech Technology in East and Southeast Asia.
