In recent years, emphasis has been on topics such as sentiment analysis, information extraction, question answering, NLP for information systems, summarization, analysis of social media, use and construction of ontologies, and the semantic web. It aims at bringing together researchers, industrials, and potential users interested in these areas. The integration of databases and natural language has been a utopia for many years. However, progress has been made and this is now an established field thanks to developments in Natural Language and technologies that made the storage and manipulation of large electronic dictionaries possible. As Information Systems are now evolving into the communication area, the term databases should be considered in the broader sense of information and communication systems. The use of Natural Language in Software Engineering has contributed to both improving the development process from the viewpoints of developers (improve the process of conceptual modeling, validation, etc) and the usability of applications by users (natural language query interfaces, semantic webs, etc). NLDB 2012 will take place from June 26 to June 28 in Groningen (the Netherlands). More information is available at http://nldb.org/. Invited Speakers: TBA Organization: Elisabeth Metais (Conference Co-chair) Hans Wortmann (Conference Co-chair) Gosse Bouma (Program Chair) Valerio Basile Ashwin Ittoo Laura Maruster Programme Committee: See http://nldb.org/. Call for Papers: NLDB 2012 invites researchers from academia and industry to submit papers for oral or poster presentations on recent, unpublished research that addresses theoretical aspects, algorithms, applications, architectures for applied and integrated NLP, resources for applied NLP, and other aspects of NLP, as well as review and discussion papers. We especially encourage submissions on one of the following topics: - Applications of NLP in Information Systems: Multilingual Information Systems, NLP in Requirement Engineering, NLP in Knowledge Management, Semantic Data Integration and Data Cleaning - Social Media and Web Data: Corpus Analysis, Language Identification, Text Normalization, Robust NLP for Social Media, Text Classification, Information Extraction and Sentiment Analysis for Social Media - Semantic Web Open Linked Data: Ontology Learning and Alignment, Populating Ontologies, Querying Ontologies and Linked Data, Semantic Tagging and Classification, Ontology-driven NLP - Question Answering (QA): NL Interfaces to Databases, QA Using Web Data, Multilingual QA, Non-factoid QA (how/why/opinion questions, lists), Geographical QA, QA Corpora and Training sets - Natural Language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive Computing, Embedded, Robotic and Mobile Applications - Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling: Analysis of Natural Language Descriptions, Terminological Ontologies, Consistency Checking, Metadata Creation and Harvesting, Ontology-driven Systems Integration, Ontology Management - NLP Applications: Business Intelligence, Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis, QA systems, Event Detection, Named Entity and Event Detection, Information Extraction, Summarization, NLP for Data Mining, NLP for Data Warehouses, Plagiarism Detection, Identity Detection Submission Guidelines: Authors should follow the LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and submit their manuscripts in pdf via Easychair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nldb2012). Submissions can be full papers (maximally 12 papers, including references), short papers (6 pages) or papers for a poster presentation (4 pages). The programme committee may decide to accept some full papers as short papers or poster contributions. The Proceedings of NLDB 2012 will be published in the Lecture Notes for Computer Science series at Springer Verlag. After the conference, authors of the best papers are invited to submit an extended version of their paper for a special issue of Data and Knowledge Engineering.
