[Madrid] Expression of interest

Dear Organizers,

My name is Sarmad Hussain.  I am a professor of Computer Science and
am currently heading Center for Language Engineering at Al-Khawarizmi
Institute of Computer Science (www.kics.edu.pk) at University of
Engineering and  Technology (www.uet.edu.pk) in Pakistan.  I have had
a keen research interest in computing support for languages in
developing Asia, and especially for Pakistani languages.  My work has
included multiple projects at Center for Research in Urdu Language
computing at CRULP during the past decade (see www.crulp.org for
details) for Pakistan and PAN Localization project across developing
Asian region (see www.PANL10n.net) for past seven years, and have
authored multiple papers and books on related subjects, e.g., a recent
one on Internationalized Domain Names (available at
http://www.panl10n.net/english/outputChart.htm).  My work and
interests cover many of the topics listed for the workshop, including
language computing standards and localization, language processing,
speech processing and script processing.  The goals of the workshop
organized by W3C are very relevant for the work we are doing, and hope
to learn and contribute the status and challenges of multi-lingual web
at the workshop.

Regards,
Sarmad Hussain
