Main theme of the workshop is the question how the existing infrastructures for R&D in the field of language and speech technology can be better exploited or improved in order to facilitate world-wide collaboration. As the ACL 2000 conference takes place in Asia, the special focus is on infrastructures in this region, or connected to the languages of this region.
Speakers will be invited to give an up to 15 minutes presentation
addressing one or more of the following topics:
The intended output is a strategic report, containing an analysis of the present situation, and an outline scenario for steps to be taken (actions, actors, calendar). The workshop should be seen as a first consultation and round-table discussion on this topic, and will be followed by similar actions at future events, where other parts of the language and speech communities (both thematic and geographic) will be consulted. Reports on this and subsequent workshops will be published on ELSNET's website http://www.elsnet.org, with an explicit invitation to the whole community to provide feedback and comments.
