It declared its intent to be an interdisciplinary forum, intertwining research in speech and language processing with its applications in everyday practice. We feel that the mixture of different approaches and applications offered a great opportunity to get acquainted with the current activities in all aspects of language communication and to witness the amazing vitality of researchers from developing countries too. The financial support of the ISCA (International Speech Communication Association) enabled the wide attendance of researchers from all active regions of the world. This year’s conference was partially oriented towards multi-modal human-computer interaction (HCI), which can be seen as the most attractive topic of HCI at the present time. In this way, we are involved in a rich complex of communicative activity, facial expressions, hand gestures, direction of gaze, to name but the most obvious ones.
