OVERVIEW

The ever-increasing availability of  on-line textual databases and the
development of  the Internet have  made of Text Summarization  a major research
 topic.   The   international  research  community  has  made outstanding
contributions to Text Summarization since the seminal 1993 Dagstuhl Seminar on 
Text Summarization for Intelligent Communication, however several  problems
still  need to be  addressed and  new issues have emerged  as a result  of
technological advances.   The "Crossing Barriers  in Text  Summarization 
Research'' workshop  will cover  the following topics:

- Coreference and Summarization
- Crosslingual Summarization
- Evaluation
- Multidocument Summarization
- Multimedia Summarization
- Question Answering and Summarization
-Speech Summarization
