RANLP (Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing) is one of the best-established and competitive European NLP conferences. It is held biennially in Bulgaria and grew out from the international summer schools "Contemporary topics in Computational Linguistics" organised for many years in Bulgaria as international training events. The RANLP conferences in 1995, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 had invited talks by leading names in NLP and accepted papers of high quality, rigorously reviewed by an international Programme Committee of well-known experts. Most of the RANLP conferences published a volume with Selected papers in the John Benjamins series ?Current trends of linguistic research?. The conferences also featured tutorials on hot NLP topics delivered by leading researchers. RANLP 2007 was accompanied by nine international workshops.

Submission deadline: End of April/beginning of May 2009 (the conference web site will have updated information)

RANLP-09 will be held in the picturesque resort of Borovets. Located in the Rila mountains, it is one of the best known ski and tourist resorts in South-East Europe. Hotel Samokov, the conference venue, offers excellent study and leisure facilities.
