CALL FOR PAPERS

RIDE-MLIM'2003

New!!! Paper submission deadline extended to September 30th, 2002 13th International Workshop on Research Issues on Data Engineering: Multi-lingual Information Management Hyderabad, INDIA March 10 - 11, 2003 http://iiit.net/conferences/ride2003.html In conjunction with ICDE'03 Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (pending)

SCOPE

RIDE-MLIS'2003 is the thirteenth workshop in a series of annual workshops on Research Issues in Data Engineering (RIDE), which have been held in conjunction with the IEEE CS International Conferences on Data Engineering. In 2003, RIDE focuses on Multi-lingual Information Management.

Multi-lingual information consists of data, text, or documents containing words from more than one language. The need for multi-lingual information management is driven by the proliferation of the Internet, the globalization of corporations, the development of virtual organizations, and the increasing use of multi-lingual digital media.

The objective of RIDE-MLIS'2003 is to bring together researchers, industrial practitioners, developers, and users to exchange results and ideas on issues related to Multi-lingual Information Management.
