What: PACLING 2011: 12th Conference of the Pacific Association for 
Computational Linguistics
Where: International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
When: July 19th -- July 21st 2011
Website: http://kict.iium.edu.my/pacling/
Deadline for abstracts:  March 31, 2011

PACLING 2011 will be a high-quality, workshop-style conference whose
aim is to promote friendly scientific interaction relating to computational
linguistics among Pacific Rim countries. The emphasis of the conference
is on interdisciplinary scientific exchange demonstrating openness towards
original, fresh, and/or useful research including those which might sometimes
fall outside current dominant schools of thought, and on technological
transfer within and across the Pacific region.

The conference represents a unique forum for scientific and
technological exchange, being smaller than ACL and COLING, and more
regional with extensive representation from the Pacific.

Important Dates:
* paper submission deadline: March 31, 2011
* notification of acceptance: Apr 30, 2011
* camera-ready copy due: May 31, 2011
* conference: July 19-21, 2011
