Call for Papers for KES-IIMSS-2009 (http://iimss-09.kesinternational.org/) University of Milan, Mogliano Veneto (MI), Italy July 16-17, 2009

INVITED SESSION: Human-Computer Interaction in Natural Language Environment

Deadlines: * Paper submission: 19 January 2009 * Notification of acceptance: 27 February 2009 * Final paper publication files to be uploaded by: 23 March 2009

-------------------------------------------------------

Scope Systems based on human-computer interactions are increasingly being deployed. Systems can interact with humans using different devices and sensors capturing its movements, but computers can also interact with humans through natural language. This special session is intended to investigate the role of Natural Language Processing for systems based on human-computer interactions. This includes systems which can engage a dialog with humans, answer to their questions, react to a command in natural language and give a feedback in natural language.

Topics Original contributions are invited. Topics include, but are not limited to:

* Human-computer Interaction using Natural Language Understanding * Human-computer Interaction using Semantics * Question Answering Systems * Dialog Systems * Chat Bots using Natural Language Processing * Retrieving Systems using Natural Language Processing * Natural Language Commands Interpreters * Information Extraction Systems * Natural Language in Knowledge Systems
