First AMAST Workshop on Language Processing, AMiLP'95

University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, 6-8 December 1995

Update of information in [AL0204M2] . Preliminary Announcement

Organizers:

A Nijholt (Enschede), M Nivat (Paris), T Rus (Iowa City)

Theme:

Algebraic Methods in Language Processing

This workshop will focus on algebraic methods in formal languages, programming languages and natural languages. The aim of this workshop is to bring together those researchers on formal language theory, programming language theory, and natural language description theory, who have a common interest in the use of algebraic methods to describe syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties of language. The workshop does not concentrate on natural language only. There is interesting use of algebraic methods in programming language processing (compiler construction and development of programming language environments) and (obviously) in formal language theory. Moreover, it is becoming clear that some of the methods developed in these fields can play a role in natural language description and processing.
