You are invited to submit an ABSTRACT not exceeding 350 words in any of the sub-themes as listed below:

Theme: KISWAHILI AND EMERGING ISSUES
Sub-themes:
1. Kiswahili & the Millennium Development Goals
2. Kiswahili & politics, culture and the economy

It doesn't seem like the folks over at UFL know about AFLAT yet, so I suppose I'll post this up here for them. This conference is going to be focusing broadly on African language, but does have a four-talk parallel session of computational interest on the Saturday session.
