In order to be prepared for the fast evolving global markets of  the twenty
first century where  language  will  be  a  major  barrier  for  trade,
considerable attention is being  focused  on  Machine  Translation  (MT)
technology.   The objective of MT  Summits is to bring together governmental
policy makers, scientists and engineers developing MT technology, and
potential  users  of the MT systems.  The first two MT Summits, held in
Hakone, JAPAN, in 1987 and in Munich, West Germany in 1989 were very
successful.

MT Summit III is the third in this series of international conferences. It
will bring together representatives from academia, industry and government
interested in promoting  research,  development  and  deployment  of machine
translation and machine-aided translation  technology.  The  conference will
feature    policy debates,     scholarly presentations  and demonstrations
of machine translation-related software. The conference  will  be  preceded
by  a full  day  of  EXECUTIVE BRIEFINGS and TUTORIALS on various aspects of
machine translation research, development  and policy.

MT Summit III will be held on July 2 - 4, 1991
at The Mayflower Hotel, Washington, D.C.

Jaime Carbonell, General Chair 
Sergei Nirenburg, Program Chair  
Masaru Tomita, Demonstrations   Chair
