--------------------------
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) will be holding its
Ninth Workshop in Malta on 26-27 April 2004. The meeting is one of a series
of annual workshops acting as a forum for the exchange of ideas concerning
all aspects of machine translation within the European and adjacent
regions. (For information about previous workshops see the EAMT website:
www.eamt.org.) As in previous EAMT workshops, contributions will be
particularly welcomed from developers, vendors and users of MT systems and
translation aids.
The SPECIAL THEME for this workshop will be machine-translation-related
issues concerning
* Semitic languages,
* Languages of the newly accessioned states of the European Union.
Papers on machine translation systems and computer-based translation aids
relating to these languages will be of particular interest.
However, papers relating to other aspects of machine translation, and other
languages, will also be considered such as:
* Translation Memories
* Web-based MT services
* Issues for developers and users of MT and translation aids
* Economic aspects of MT
* Evaluation of MT systems
SUBMISSION of papers:
We invite submissions as either extended abstracts (minimum 2 pages) or as
full papers (maximum 10 pages). Submissions should be sent before 25th
January 2004, by email as attachments in DOC, RTF, or plain text, to the
chairman John Hutchins ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), with the words 'EAMT
2004 Workshop' in the subject heading).
Notification of acceptance will be made on or before 15 February, together
with any comments from reviewers for revision.
FINAL VERSIONS of papers
Final versions of papers (maximum 10 pages, DOC or RTF files) should be
sent for inclusion in the proceedings before 12th March. (Any papers
