• Natural language and ubiquitous computing: Pervasive Computing, Embedded and Mobile Applications

We welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest to the NLP community, but we particularly encourage submissions that broaden the scope of our community through the consideration of practical NLP applications. We also invite people from industry working on NLP to send us their submissions and offer an opportunity to discuss and demonstrate their latest applications.

Submitted papers should describe original work, completed or in progress, rather than merely planned, and clearly indicate the current state of advancement of the work. No previously published papers should be submitted. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed provided it is explicitly indicated on the identification page.
