       Special Issue: "Information Retrieval on Oriental Languages"

INTRODUCTION
============

     The International Journal on Computer Processing of Oriental Languages
(CPOL)  is  devoted  to the publication of original theoretical and applied
research work in oriental language computing.  In particular, this  special
issue   focuses  on  the  field  of   "Information  Retrieval  on  Oriental
Languages".

     The increasing volume of  information available globally  through  the
World-Wide-Web  places  high  demands  on the information search engines in
terms of both speed and effectiveness.  As a result, much research interest
in  Information  Retrieval  (IR)  has  been  spurred in recent years in the
direction of performance and/or  effectiveness  enhancement,  e.g.  in  the
areas  of indexing, NLP, etc. Although the latest IR researches in English,
and in other Western languages, are  widely and timely publicized, the same
for  Oriental  Languages (OL)  is rare. For this reason, this special issue
is  dedicated  to   reporting  the  state-of-the-art  and/or  state-of-the-
practice  R&D efforts in IR technology for Oriental languages (IR-OL). Ori-
ginal papers in all areas of research in this  field,  including,  but  not
limited to, the following are invited:

*    Natural Language Processing for IR-OL

*    Automatic Information Extraction

*    Multilingual and Cross Language Text Retrieval

*    Automatic Text Categorization

*    Automatic Text Summarization (Abstraction)

*    Structural and Conceptual Indexing

*    Dictionary Management

*    Query Interface

*    Intelligent Agent Technology

*    Information Filtering

*    Resource Discovery

*    Logic based IR Framework

*    Applications in IR-OL

*    Benchmarking


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
=========================

     Original papers which are not submitted to, under reviewed by and pub-
lished  or to be published in other journals or conferences in any areas of
IR-OL are invited to this special issue for possible publication. The  pub-
lication  language is ENGLISH and electronic submission is welcome. Authors
