International Conference on Asian Language Processing 2012 (IALP 2012)
Hanoi, Vietnam, Nov 13-15, 2012

Paper Submission deadline: Jul 1,2012
==========================================================================

The International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP) is a series 
of conferences with unique focus on Asian Language Processing. The 
conference aims to advance the science and technology of all the aspects of 
Asian Language Processing by providing a forum for researchers in the 
different fields of language study all over the world to meet. The first 
meeting of the series was held in Singapore in 1986 and was called the 
"International Conference on Chinese Computing (ICCC)" then. This meeting 
initiated the study of Chinese and oriental languages processing in 
Singapore and resulted in the formation of COLIPS in Singapore in 1988, as 
well as the publication of the journal "Communications of COLIPS" in 1991, 
which is known as "International Journal on Asian Language Processing" 
today.

Over the years, IALP has developed into one of important anaual events on 
nature language processing in Asia. IALP 2008 was held in Chiang Mai 
University, Thailand and the proceedings were indexed by ISTP/ISI. IALP 2009 
was held in Singapore and was co-organized by COLIPS and IEEE Singapore 
Computer Chapter. IALP 2010 was held in Harbin and was co-organized by 
COLIPS and IEEE Singapore Computer Chapter, Chinese Information Processing 
Society of China and Heilongjiang Institute of Technology (HIT). IALP 2011 
was held in Penang, Malaisia and jointly organized by Chinese and Oriental 
Languages Information Processing Society (COLIPS) of Singapore, IEEE 
Singapore Computer Chapter, and Universiti Sains Malaysia. The proceedings 
of IALP 2009,2010 and 2011 were published by CPS (Conference Publication 
Services) and submitted for indexing in EI, ISTP/ISI and Current Contents on 
Diskette.

This year, the International Conference on Asian Language Processing 2012 
(IALP 2012) will be jointly organized by Chinese and Oriental Languages 
Information Processing Society (COLIPS) of Singapore, IEEE Vietnam Computer 
Chapter, and Hanoi University of Science and Technology (and MICA 
Institute). The conference will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam on Nov 13-15, 
2012. The 2012 edition (IALP 2012) will focus on under-resourced languages 
studies. We will continue to work with CPS to publish the conference 
proceesings. They will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library and 
submitted for indexing in INSPEC, EI, ISTP/ISI and Current Contents on 
Diskette.

Hanoi (Vietnamese: Hà Noi, "River Interior") is the capital and 
second-largest city of Vietnam. As the capital of Vietnam for almost a 
thousand years. Hanoi hosts more cultural sites than any city in Vietnam, 
including over 600 pagodas and temples.Hanoi is is the social, cultural and 
economic center of the country.The Old Quarter, near Hoan Kiem lake, has the 
original street layout and architecture of old Hanoi. At the beginning of 
the 20th century the city consisted of only about 36 streets, most of which 
are now part of the old quarter. Each street then had merchants and 
households specialized in a particular trade, such as silk traders, 
jewellery, etc. The street names nowadays still reflect these 
specializations, although few of them remain exclusively in their original 
commerce. The area is famous for its small artisans and merchants, including 
many silk shops. Local cuisine specialties as well as several clubs and bars 
can be found here also. A night market (near Ðong Xuân market) in the heart 
of the district opens for business every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 
evening with a variety of clothing, souvenirs and food.

We welcome you to Vietnam to experience the nature, history, and cultural in 
one of best countries in South-East Asia.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished 
work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be 
included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical 
strength, significance, relevance to the conference, and interest to the 
attendees. Each submission will be reviewed by three program committee 
members. Accepted papers will be presented in one of the oral sessions or 
poster sessions as determined by the program committee.
As the reviewing will be blind, manuscripts must not include the authors' 
names and affiliations. Authors should ensure that their identities are not 
revealed in any way in the paper. Self-references that reveal the author's 
identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. 
Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". 
Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without 
review.

All submissions must be electronic and in Portable Document Format (PDF) 
only. Paper submissions should follow the IEEE Proceedings' two-column 
format without exceeding four (4) pages including references. We strongly 
recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files 
according to IEEE Proceedings' format. Submissions must conform to the 
official style guidelines.

The official language of the conference is English. Papers submitted should 
be written in English.

Papers may be submitted until July 1, 2012, in PDF format via the START 
system:
