Special
Session
on Arabic Information Processing
Session
Description
The use of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) is spreading across the world. For
many years, the English Language was dominating all aspects of ICT
systems that span from their development to their use. However, in the
last few years many nations have felt the need to use their own
language to spread the use of ICT among their populations and
communities and also in some situations to protect their language and
culture. This is certainly true for the Arab world where there are many
initiatives to advance research, development and arabisation of ICT
systems. This sessions aims at bringing together researchers and
developers interested in topics that include but not limited to:
- Developing
culturally and linguistically aware Information Systems for tha Arab
world.
- Choice
of information systems development methodologies for the Arab world.
