Due to the great needs of economic globalization and the rapid advancement of information technology, Natural Language Processing based on Knowledge Engineering has become one of the most attractive focus areaes in research. This is shown by the extraordinary success of the previous International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Engineering conferences in, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Engineering, NLP-KE’03-Beijing, NLP-KE’05-Wuhan ,NLP-KE’07-Beijing, NLP-KE’08-Beijing and NLP-KE’09-Dalian have clearly proved it.

The 6th IEEE International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Engineering, IEEE NLP-KE’10, will be held on Aug.21-23, 2010, in Beijing, China. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers reporting original and previously unpublished work. Papers are to be submitted electronically, as PDF or WORD files. The required format for the paper is in IEEE conference format which can be found on thein IEEE website or download ed from the conference website. Only the full papers received before the deadline will be considered for review. The length of a paper is limited to 8 pages for oral (regular) papers and 4 pages for short papers and poster papers. All papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings which will be published by IEEE Computer Society (indexed by EI). All authors presenting regular (oral) papers (presentat on the conference) will be invited to publish their revised papers in an international journal.
