LREC targets the integration of different types of LRs – spoken, written, and other modalities – and of the respective communities. To this end, LREC encourages submissions covering issues which are common to different types of LRs and language technologies.

LRs are currently developed and deployed in a much wider range of applications and domains. LREC 2008 recognises the need to encompass all those data that interact with language resources in an attempt to model more complex human processes and develop more complex systems, and encourages submissions on topics such as:

• Multimodal and multimedia systems, for Human-Machine interfaces, Human-Human interactions, and content processing

• Resources for modelling language-related cognitive processes, including emotions

• Interaction/Association of language and perception data, also for robotic systems
