Call For Participation

The number of Digital Library initiatives worldwide has been
increasing in recent times. The problem of organizing and accessing
information from these digital libraries has given rise to research

information processing, natural language processing and many others.
This workshop is intended to give participants a better understanding
of these issues, along with an awareness of state-of-the-art tools and
technologies involved in digital libraries, through invited lectures
by internationally renowned researchers, practitioners, and
developers. Interested participants from academia, government and
industry are invited to attend the workshop to exchange views and to
help formulate future directions of research in this exciting area.

The workshop will address the following sub-areas:

Indexing/Retrieval
Multilingual Information Access
Natural Language Processing
Document Analysis and Processing
