Participants the world over contributed to its groundbreaking success with their presentations and exhibitions. This success led to the formation of our society, COLIPS, in 1988. In June 1994 we collaborated with the Chinese Information Society of China and the National University of Singapore and hosted ICCC94. Again, we received an overwhelming response. More than 150 participants from all across Europe, North America, as well as Asia attended the conference. Now, ICCC96 is being organized with the theme "The Latest Technological Advancement and Applications" and once again it will be held at the ISS. I hope that all of you will return to this conference to join us in the 10th Anniversary celebrations and to refresh our friendships as well as foster new ties. With our common effort. I believe that we can push the R & D activities of the oriental languages to new heights. Dr Lua Kim Teng, President, Chinese & Oriental Languages Information Processing Society ICCC96 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS ICCC96 is intended for researchers, developers and practitioners of Chinese Computing to exchange ideas, share experiences and results , discuss issues and potential solutions through paper presentations, panel sessions and invited speaker presentations.

Once again there will be something for everyone! Retaining the pattern established by its predecessor, AMTA-96 will offer a blend of invited talks, panel discussions, research papers, system demonstrations and descriptions, tutorials, workshops, book exhibits, and social events. The three days of the conference will also facilitate gatherings of the Special Interest Groups on topics ranging from interlinguas and ontologies, lexicons, standards and data exchange, MT on PCs, and MT evaluation. The overall intent of the conference is to bring together MT developers, researchers, and users, to share the latest information on MT and to forge partnerships for addressing the challenge of language barriers that impede communication on the Information Highway. Participation by members of AMTA's sister organizations in Europe and Asia is strongly encouraged. Invited talks and panel discussions will highlight topical and contro- versial questions, encouraging lively interactions, as they did at AMTA-94. In the theory sessions, technical papers will address a wide range of topics, while in practical sessions, the problems of developing and bringing MT systems to market will be discussed, with online demonstrations. In addition, booths can be rented to display systems and products. AMTA will also hold its General Members' Meeting during the conference.
