FSMNLP'98, International Workshop on Finite State Methods in Natural Language Processing was conceived, with support and motivation from EACL, as a forum to bring together recent contributions in all aspects of the theory and applications of finite state machinery in language processing. As you may have already observed by reviewing the workshop programme and by looking at the papers to be presented, the mix of the contributions is international and shows wide-spread interest in this technology. They range over a variety of topics of great interest to the NLP community.
