         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.
