Dear Colleagues, The 9th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2019), a meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland and the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take place on May 17-19, 2019. Following the tradition of the past events, it is supported by ELRA, FlaReNet, and META-NET. Yes, we started 24 years ago! Our tradition goes back to the Language and Technology Awareness Days, a meeting organized in 1995 with the assistance of the European Commission (DG XIII). Among the key speakers were Antonio Zampolli (Italy), Dafydd Gibbon (Germany), Dan Tufiş (Romania), Orest Kossak (Ukraina). Today, we refer to this event as the first LTC. Since 2005 LTC is organized every two years as the “Language & Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics”. Fostering language technologies and resources remains an important challenge in the dynamically changing, information-saturated world and we invite all concerned people to join us in Poznań at the LTC 2019 in order to face this challenge together. Since the very beginning (1995) the meetings of the LTC series continue to address Human Language Technologies (HLT) as a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields. Fostering language technologies and resources remains an important objective in our dynamically changing information-saturated world that motivate us to invite you for joining us at the LTC 2019 in Poznań.

Acceptance will be based on the reviewers' assessments (anonymous
submission model /blind reviewing/). The accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings (hard copy, with ISBN number) and on CD-ROM. Proceedings will be published by Wydawnictwo Nauka i Innowacje sp. z o.o. indexed by the Polish Ministry of Higher Education. The abstracts
of the accepted contributions will also be made available via the
conference page (during its lifetime). Publication requires full
electronic registration and payment of the conference fee (full
registration) by at least one of the co-authors.
For the obvious reason that the conference fee must cover (in particular) the publication costs, the following rule is applied:
"One registration fee entitles publication of one paper.
A post-conference volume with extended versions of selected papers will be published in the Springer Verlag series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.
The LTC 2005 post conference selection appeared in form of Special Issue of Archives of Control Sciences (2005, Volume 15 nb. 3 and Volume 15 nb. 4) The LTC 2007 post-conference volume (revised, extended papers) appeared in the Springer Verlag series LNAI (vol. 5603). The LTC 2009 post-conference volume (revised, extended papers) appeared in the Springer Verlag series LNAI (vol. 6562).

This workshop targets all researchers and practitioners interested in the application of language technologies to support the management of crisis and emergency situations. Linguists, computer scientists and - last but not least - first responders are welcome. Contributions addressing both practical and theoretical aspects can be presented. State of the art application reports as well as visionary contributions to the workshop discussion are welcome. Chair: Ivana Kruijff-Korbayova (DFKI, Germany) ivana.kruijff@dfki.de IMPORTANT DATES/DEADLINES MORE DETAILS SOON
The growing accessibility of various kinds of technologies encourages specialists from various areas of expertise to apply them in their research. Consequently, we observe an increasing need of the dialogue between the providers and the end-users of the technologies. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate the discussion and provide a meeting platform for engineers and specialists in the humanities. W invite contributions from the domains of technology and the humanities, not limited to linguistics.
