On behalf of the National School of Computer Science and System Analysis (ENSIAS) and in collaboration with the Association of Arabic Language Engineering in Morocco (ALESM), the organizing committee is delighted to announce that the 8th International Conference on Arabic Language Processing (ICALP'23) will be held on 19 - 20 April, 2024 in Rabat, Morocco.
ICALP is a series of regular international conferences that aim to attract quality scientific contributions and original papers in the field of Arabic language processing.
The conference serves as an optimal space in which researchers, language enthusiasts, industrial engineers, and university students can showcase their research achievements, strengthen collaboration, and foster partnerships.

ICALP is a series of international conferences which will be held once every two years :

  • ICALP 2019: October 16th - 17th 2019, Nancy, France
  • ICALP 2017: October 11th - 12th 2017, Fez, Morocco
