   AMAST WWW-page on Algebraic Methods in Language Processing, AMiLP

   *Update* of information in [AL0207M1].

  On December 6th until December 8th, the tenth international Twente
Workshop on Language Technology (TWLT-10) took place at the University
of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands. This workshop was organized by the
Computer Science Department in the framework provided by the AMAST
movement. The First AMAST Workshop on Language Processing was organized
in Enschede, jointly with TWLT-10, and focused on algebraic methods in
formal languages, programming languages and natural languages.
  The aim of this workshop was to bring together 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 did 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.
  As a byproduct of the workshop, and to foster further cooperation on
the investigation of algebraic methods in language processing (AMiLP),
a WWW page on AMiLP will be set-up and maintained at the University of
Twente, as a part of the AMAST repository. The starting point for the
AMiLP project consists of the current information out of the AMiLP'95
workshop, that is available through the _AMiLP'95 WWW page_ at URL:
   http://www.cs.utwente.nl/data/amast/workshops/AMiLP95.html
That information consists of the following items:
 1. The TWLT Proceedings series 
 2. The AMiLP'95 organization
 3. The AMiLP'95 program/time schedule 
 4. The abstracts of the invited talks
  A participants' proceedings volume was available at the workshop, and
can be ordered from the SETI secretariat (see item 1 at the URL above).
