Aims and Scope

Since 1995, the NLDB conference, with high impact factor, has aimed at 
bringing

together researchers, industrials and potential users interested in 
various applications

of Natural Language in the Web and database driven information systems 
area. It has

contributed to many areas such as: improving the development process 
from the

viewpoints of the developers (e.g., the process of requirements 
engineering, conceptual

modeling, validation, etc.) the usability of applications (e.g., natural 
language query

interfaces, retrieval, semantic web, etc.) knowledge extraction and 
dissemination (e.g.,

text mining, knowledge discovery, etc.). To underline these inspiring 
connections,

NLDB 2009 will take place from June 23 to June 26 in Saarbrücken, Germany.

Doctoral Symposium

Following the two most recent NLDB conferences, the 14th International 
Conference

on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems (NLDB 2009) is

organizing a Doctoral Symposium. This is intended to encourage Ph.D. 
students,

who are studying aspects of Natural Language Processing and Management 
related

to Information Systems, to share and discuss their research proposals 
and direction

under the guidance of a panel of leading academics in Computer Science and

Information Systems, and to network with other doctoral students and 
researchers.

Contributions are welcome in all topics covered by NLDB 2009.

In order to present at the symposium, Ph.D. students should submit a 
paper describing

their research proposal and direction of their work. The paper should 
not exceed

4 pages in PDF or Postscript format. We intend to include accepted 
papers in the

proceedings. In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions to 
this Doctoral

Symposium should clearly address:

• The motivation behind the proposed research

• A clear formulation of the research problem to be solved

• An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, by briefly 
citing

and describing any existing solutions

• A proposed methodology and any preliminary ideas and results achieved 
so far

• The contributions of the current proposal

Similar to a Ph.D. thesis, only a single author is allowed per 
submission to the

symposium. The Ph.D. advisor is not stated as co-author but should be 
separately

mentioned as a footnote in the first page of the paper attached on the 
title of the paper.

Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program 
Committee

and will be evaluated on originality, overall quality of presentation, 
soundness and

technical correctness of the proposed method. The Doctoral Symposium 
Panel will

carry out the best research proposal award. The NLDB 2009 conference will

reimburse financially part of the participation costs for the recipient 
of the Award.

Submission Guidelines:

Authors should submit manuscripts in either PostScript or Portable Document

Format (PDF). Papers should not exceed 4 pages. Please also note: The

Doctoral Symposium Panel will carry out the best research proposal award
