We would like to inform you that the call for papers for Issue 50 of
Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural journal is open and available at

Introduction
---------------------------
The aim of the journal Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural is to provide a
forum for the publication of scientific-technical articles in the field of
Natural Language Processing (NLP), for both the national and international
scientific community. The articles must be unpublished and cannot be
simultaneously submitted for publication by other journals or conference
proceedings. The journal also aims to promote the development of areas
related to NLP, disseminate research carried out, identify future guidelines
for basic research, and present software applications in this field. Every
year the Sociedad Española de Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (SEPLN)
publishes two issues of the journal, including original articles,
presentations of R&D projects, book reviews and summaries of PhD theses.

The print edition of the journal is distributed freely to all the SEPLN
members, but an open access journal is also freely available to all online
readers.
