Indian language technology stands at a critical juncture today. On one
hand, linguistic and cultural diversities give Indian languages freedom and
independence; make them dynamic; on the other hand, the lack of technology
and related resources, is making them less competitive in the digital age.
The ability of the Sanskrit language i.e. its standard grammar;
acceptability and closeness with the four main language families along with
the computational complexity of 1761 languages, has attracted the language
technology community.

The influence of Sanskrit has been significant not only on all Indian
languages but also on Indian culture and mind. About 77% of the languages
belong to the Indo Aryan family and almost all the scripts come from
Brahmi. The Paninian system and vocabulary, linguistic and literary
criteria – all have been influential on the entire linguistic map of India.

In view of the above role and facts; and the Indian government's
undertakings in Indian languages; also keeping in view the absence of
technology and related content, JNU and the Bhartiya Bhasha Manch have
decided to jointly organize a 3 day conference to initiate a discussion on
the present status of language technology for Indian languages and
formulate guidelines for further research initiatives.

The broader objectives of the SOIL-Tech will be

   -

   To create a White Paper for 22 scheduled Indian languages
   -

   To investigate challenges related to creating and sharing various levels
   of language resources on Sanskrit and Other Indian languages
   -

   To provide a space for dialogue between Indian language resource
   developers and users
   -

   To form dedicated groups in creating critical technologies for Indian
   languages

conference proceedings and can be presented as either oral presentation or
poster.

Papers should be formatted according to the SOIL-Tech style-sheet, which
is available on the SOIL-Tech 2018
website. Please submit papers in PDF format through EasyChair website

We are seeking submissions under the following categories

   -

   Full papers (10 pages)
   -

   Short papers (work in progress – 5 pages)

In the past few years, as more resources have been developed and made
available, an increased activity in the development of usable technology
with reference to White Papers has been observed. Hence, SOIL-Tech
conference will put special focus on “white papers” of Indian Language
Technology on similar lines as done by the EU’s project META-NET. In
addition, we are inviting technical, policy and position paper submissions
on the following topics related to Indian Language Technological resources:

   -

   Corpora - text, speech, multimodal, methodologies, annotation and tools
   -

   Digital Humanities
   -

   E-learning
   -

   Formal grammars
   -

   Heritage computing

The Information Systems and Technologies research and industrial community is 
invited to submit proposals for the organization of Workshops at WorldCist'19 - 
7th World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, to be held at La 
Toja Island, Galicia, Spain, 16 - 19 April 2019. WorldCist is a global forum 
for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent 
innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the several 
perspectives of Information Systems and Technologies.


###
WORKSHOP FORMAT
###

Workshops should focus on a specific scientific subject on the scope of 
WorldCist'19 but not directly included on the main conference areas. Each 
workshop will be coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed of, at least, 
two researchers in the field, preferably from different institutions and 
different countries. The organizers should create an international Program 
Committee for the Workshop, with recognized researchers within the specific 
Workshop scientific area. Each workshop should have at least ten submissions 
and five accepted papers in order to be conducted at WorldCist'19.

The selection of Workshops will be performed by WorldCist'19 
Conference/Workshop Chairs. Workshops full and short papers will be published 
in the conference main proceedings in specific Workshop chapters published by 
Springer in a book of the AISC series. Proceedings will be submitted for 
indexation by ISI Thomson, SCOPUS, DBLP, EI-Compendex among several other 
scientific databases. Extended versions of best selected papers will be 
published in journals indexed by ISI/SCI, SCOPUS and DBLP. Detailed and 
up-to-date information may be found at WorldCist'19 website: 
http://www.worldcist.org/ 


#
WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION

The Organizing Committee of each Workshop will be responsible for:

- Producing and distributing the Workshop Call for Papers (CFP);
- Coordinating the review and selection process for the papers submitted to the 
Workshop, as Workshop chairs (on the paper submission system to be installed);
- Delivering the final versions of the papers accepted for the Workshop in 
accordance with the guidelines and deadlines defined by WorldCist'19 organizers;
- Coordinating and chairing the Workshop sessions at the conference.

WorldCist'19 organizers reserve the right to cancel any Workshop if deadlines 
are missed or if the number of registered attendees is too low to support the 
costs associated with the Workshop.
