--------------------------------------------------------------------

A considerable amount of research has been done on the processing of
Malaysian and Indonesian languages offering a variety of Computational
Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) resources
(dictionaries, thesauri, monolingual/parallel corpora etc.), tools
(morphological analysers/generators, stemmers, spelling checkers,
syntactic parsers, etc.) and applications (machine translation,
information extraction, information retrieval, etc.).  All these
valuable language resources, tools, and services are most of the time
ignored by the public and often not known by the researchers and
students working on these languages.

This third MALINDO Workshop aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners, representing different perspectives, to share and to
exchange their ideas on the processing of Indonesian and Malaysian
languages.

Thus, the organisers of the workshop want to highlight the effort and
promising works done on the processing of Malaysian and Indonesian
languages in order to attract more students to the CL and NLP fields and
also to let all the NLP communities in this World  be aware of their
existence.  The MALINDO workshop is organized by the National University
of Singapore (NUS, Republic of Singapore), Universitas Indonesia (UI,
Jakarta, Indonesia), and Multimedia University (MMU, Cyberjaya-Malacca,
Malaysia).

Prospective authors are invited to submit unpublished papers on any
topic that is of interest to the processing of Malaysian and Indonesian
languages and its broad applications, for presentation at the workshop
and publication in the proceedings.

The topics of the papers are requested to be in all areas related to the
processing - computational and theoretical point of view - of Malaysian
and Indonesian languages.
