In addition to the traditional workshops areas, including both core
issues in CL and NLP applications  (such as MT, CLIR, speech related
applications, etc.), we encourage proposals for workshops focussing
on Asian language processing and fostering communication and
cooperation between Western and Eastern (Asian) CL communities.

The Conference will be held October 3-6; Workshop dates will be
scheduled before and/or after the conference.

Pre/Post Conference Workshop/Tutorials will be held at Hong Kong
