=================================================

The organizing committee of the Workshop on Linguistic Tools and 
Resources for Spanish and Portuguese (http://ccc.inaoep.mx/~hrl_04/) 
invites researchers and students related to this research area to 
participate with proposals and works in this event.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum in order to improve the 
cooperation between the iberoamerican groups interested in linguistic 
technology, particularly for Spanish and Portuguese languages. Within 
the goals of the event are the creation of joint protocols for 
development, evaluation, comparison and interchange of linguistic tools 
and resources for these languages.
Interest subjects turn around the design, building and use of linguistic 
resources (LR) for Spanish and Portuguese, as well as tools for their 
recollection and analysis. Following is a brief and not restricted list 
of the related topics:

* Guidelines, standards, specifications, models and best practices for LR
* Methods, tools, procedures for the acquisition, creation, management, 
access, distribution, use of LR
* Monolingual and multilingual LR for Spanish and Portuguese
* Multimodal and multimedia LR. Integration of various modalities in LR 
(speech, vision, language)
* Exploitation of LR in different types of applications (information 
extraction, information retrieval, vocal and multisensorial interfaces, 
translation, summarisation, www services, etc.)
