&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Summary ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SIGFSM is actively meeting via two workshops, FSMNLP and ATANLP.  ATANLP is a new one-day workshop on applications of tree automata in conjunction with an ACL meeting, while FSMNLP has been slightly bigger and has often been organized at locations where a local research community has otherwise been involved in developing or is using finite-state techniques and thus willing to organize a related event anyhow.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two obvious challenges of the SIG are finding a long-term journal plan for the extended workshop papers and migrating the previous proceedings to the ACL Anthology.  In addition, the overhead work in workshop organization should be reduced by a periodic plan for more widely accessible FSMNLP workshops in conjunction of big ACL meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Membership ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, the membership count of the SIGFSM is slowly growing being still well under 100.  A new membership campaign should be implemented well before the elections (there are some 200 people receiving the FSMNLP meeting announcements individually and the ATANLP attendants have not been asked).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Officers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The term of the elected officers started on 11 May, 2010 and is to end in 2012:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Anssi Yli-Jyrä (President)&lt;br /&gt;
* Thomas Hanneforth (Treasurer)&lt;br /&gt;
* Laurette Pretorius (Secretary) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Other Positions:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Liaison Representative in ACL 2012: Matthieu Constant (or Andreas Maletti)&lt;br /&gt;
* Email List Resource Manager:        Thomas Hanneforth&lt;br /&gt;
* Web Site Resource Manager: Thomas Hanneforth&lt;br /&gt;
* Web Content Resource Manager: Thomas Hanneforth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== SIGFSM Business Meeting and International Advisory Committee ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The members of the International Advisory Committee (IAC) were nominated already in 2010 and 2012 by the president and they are to continue at this position for (at least) the year 2012 by default.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Matthieu Constant (Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France)&lt;br /&gt;
* Tim Fernando (Computer Science Department, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland) 2012-&lt;br /&gt;
* Colin de la Higuera (Nantes University, France)&lt;br /&gt;
* Måns Hulden (University of Helsinki, Finland) 2012-&lt;br /&gt;
* Lauri Karttunen (Stanford University, USA)&lt;br /&gt;
* Kevin Knight (USC/Information Sciences Institute, USA)&lt;br /&gt;
* András Kornai (Harvard University, USA &amp;amp; Budapest Institute of Technology, Hungary)&lt;br /&gt;
* Marco Kuhlman (Uppsala University, Department of Linguistics and Philology, Sweden) 2012-&lt;br /&gt;
* Andreas Maletti (University of Stuttgart, Germany)&lt;br /&gt;
* Jakub Piskorski (Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw)&lt;br /&gt;
* Bruce W. Watson (University of Pretoria, SA &amp;amp; Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands)&lt;br /&gt;
* Menno van Zaanen (Tilburg University, The Netherlands)&lt;br /&gt;
* Lynette van Zijl (Stellenbosch University, SA)&lt;br /&gt;
* the elected officers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Events and Publications ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== FSMNLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FSMNLP 2011 was organized in Blois, France, jointly with CIAA 2011 (Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata) because the organizers and the dates of both events were close enough.  14 long and 3 short papers have been accepted to FSMNLP 2011.  In terms of participation, the CIAA/FSMNLP 2011 in Blois was a very successful event: [http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/page.php?nom=home&amp;amp;id=1] (see the picture).  Many CIAA 2011 attendees participated both conferences.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The final FSMNLP 2011 proceedings appeared in the ACL Anthology at http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SIGFSM Business Meetings ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A FSMNLP/SIGFSM business meeting in Blois discussed two proposals for the future venues.  The International Advisory Board later confirmed the future plans: FSMNLP 2012 in Donostia -- San Sebastian, Spain and FSMNLP 2013 in St. Andrews, UK.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There were repeated expressions of shared interest towards a joint workshop with SIGFSM and SIGMORPHON.  It was concluded that such plans would be best realized in an ACL hosted main conference.  This has been also the preference for ATANLP, a SIGFSM endorsed series of workshops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ATANLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* SIGFSM was asked to endorse the proposal for an EACL 2012 Workshop on Applications of Tree Automata Techniques in Natural Language Processing (ATANLP 2012).  &lt;br /&gt;
* The workshop took place in April 24, 2012 in Avignon, France [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/].  &lt;br /&gt;
* The preproceedings and the final EACL proceedings of the workshop were published are online, available at [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/programme-2012.html] and http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html   &lt;br /&gt;
* The ATANLP 2010 proceedings have not yet collected to the same page in the ACL Anthology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Elections ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The second SIGFSM elections are due in 2012.   The elections are going to be held after the FSMNLP 2012 workshop.  More candidates can be nominated in this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Financial Report ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SIG has a nominal amount of cash received from previous workshop organizers as surplus, but has been reduced by consumption to invited talks of latter workshops.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Summary ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SIGFSM is actively meeting via two workshops, FSMNLP and ATANLP.  ATANLP is a new workshop on applications of tree automata and meets in ACL as a one day workshop, while FSMNLP has been slightly bigger and has often been organized at locations where a local researcher community have otherwise been involved in  developing or using finite-state techniques and thus willing to organize a related event anyhow.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two obvious challenges of the SIG are finding a long-term journal plan for the extended workshop papers and migrating the previous proceedings to the ACL Anthology.  In addition, the overhead work in workshop organization should be reduced by a periodic plan for more widely accessible FSMNLP workshops in conjunction of big ACL meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Membership ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, the membership count of the SIGFSM is slowly growing being still well under 100.  A new membership campaign should be implemented well before the elections (there are some 200 people receiving the FSMNLP meeting announcements individually and the ATANLP attendants have not been asked).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Officers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The term of the elected officers started on 11 May, 2010 and is to end in 2012:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Anssi Yli-Jyrä (President)&lt;br /&gt;
* Thomas Hanneforth (Treasurer)&lt;br /&gt;
* Laurette Pretorius (Secretary) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Other Positions:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Liaison Representative in ACL 2012: Matthieu Constant (or Andreas Maletti)&lt;br /&gt;
* Email List Resource Manager:        Thomas Hanneforth&lt;br /&gt;
* Web Site Resource Manager: Thomas Hanneforth&lt;br /&gt;
* Web Content Resource Manager: Thomas Hanneforth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== SIGFSM Business Meeting and International Advisory Committee ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The members of the International Advisory Committee (IAC) were nominated already in 2010 and 2012 by the president and they are to continue at this position for (at least) the year 2012 by default.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Matthieu Constant (Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France)&lt;br /&gt;
* Tim Fernando (Computer Science Department, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland) 2012-&lt;br /&gt;
* Colin de la Higuera (Nantes University, France)&lt;br /&gt;
* Måns Hulden (University of Helsinki, Finland) 2012-&lt;br /&gt;
* Lauri Karttunen (Stanford University, USA)&lt;br /&gt;
* Kevin Knight (USC/Information Sciences Institute, USA)&lt;br /&gt;
* András Kornai (Harvard University, USA &amp;amp; Budapest Institute of Technology, Hungary)&lt;br /&gt;
* Marco Kuhlman (Uppsala University, Department of Linguistics and Philology, Sweden) 2012-&lt;br /&gt;
* Andreas Maletti (University of Stuttgart, Germany)&lt;br /&gt;
* Jakub Piskorski (Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw)&lt;br /&gt;
* Bruce W. Watson (University of Pretoria, SA &amp;amp; Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands)&lt;br /&gt;
* Menno van Zaanen (Tilburg University, The Netherlands)&lt;br /&gt;
* Lynette van Zijl (Stellenbosch University, SA)&lt;br /&gt;
* the elected officers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Events and Publications ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== FSMNLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FSMNLP 2011 was organized in Blois, France, jointly with CIAA 2011 (Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata) because the organizers and the dates of both events were close enough.  14 long and 3 short papers have been accepted to FSMNLP 2011.  In terms of participation, the CIAA/FSMNLP 2011 in Blois was a very successful event: [http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/page.php?nom=home&amp;amp;id=1] (see the picture).  Many CIAA 2011 attendees participated both conferences.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The final FSMNLP 2011 proceedings appeared in the ACL Anthology at http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SIGFSM Business Meetings ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A FSMNLP/SIGFSM business meeting in Blois discussed two proposals for the future venues.  The International Advisory Board later confirmed the future plans: FSMNLP 2012 in Donostia -- San Sebastian, Spain and FSMNLP 2013 in St. Andrews, UK.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There were repeated expressions of shared interest towards a joint workshop with SIGFSM and SIGMORPHON.  It was concluded that such plans would be best realized in an ACL hosted main conference.  This has been also the preference for ATANLP, a SIGFSM endorsed series of workshops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ATANLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* SIGFSM was asked to endorse the proposal for an EACL 2012 Workshop on Applications of Tree Automata Techniques in Natural Language Processing (ATANLP 2012).  &lt;br /&gt;
* The workshop took place in April 24, 2012 in Avignon, France [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/].  &lt;br /&gt;
* The preproceedings and the final EACL proceedings of the workshop were published are online, available at [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/programme-2012.html] and http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html   &lt;br /&gt;
* The ATANLP 2010 proceedings have not yet collected to the same page in the ACL Anthology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Elections ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The second SIGFSM elections are due in 2012.   The elections are going to be held after the FSMNLP 2012 workshop.  More candidates can be nominated in this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Financial Report ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SIG has a nominal amount of cash received from previous workshop organizers as surplus&lt;br /&gt;
and reduced by consumption to invited talks of latter workshops.  &lt;br /&gt;

== Events and Publications ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== FSMNLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FSMNLP 2011 was organized in Blois, France, jointly with CIAA 2011 (Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata) because the organizers and the dates of both events were close enough.  14 long and 3 short papers have been accepted to FSMNLP 2011.  In terms of participation, the CIAA/FSMNLP 2011 in Blois was a very successful event: [http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/page.php?nom=home&amp;amp;id=1] (see the picture).  Many CIAA 2011 attendees participated both conferences.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The final FSMNLP 2011 proceedings appeared in the ACL Anthology at http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SIGFSM Business Meetings ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A FSMNLP/SIGFSM business meeting in Blois discussed two proposals for the future venues.  The International Advisory Board later confirmed the future plans: FSMNLP 2012 in Donostia -- San Sebastian, Spain and FSMNLP 2013 in St. Andrews, UK.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There were repeated expressions of shared interest towards a joint workshop with SIGFSM and SIGMORPHON.  It was concluded that such plans would be best realized in an ACL hosted main conference.  This has been also the preference for ATANLP, a SIGFSM endorsed series of workshops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ATANLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* SIGFSM was asked to endorse the proposal for an EACL 2012 Workshop on Applications of Tree Automata Techniques in Natural Language Processing (ATANLP 2012).  &lt;br /&gt;
* The workshop took place in April 24, 2012 in Avignon, France [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/].  &lt;br /&gt;
* The preproceedings and the final EACL proceedings of the workshop were published are online, available at [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/programme-2012.html] and http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html   &lt;br /&gt;
* The ATANLP 2010 proceedings have not yet collected to the same page in the ACL Anthology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Elections ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The second SIGFSM elections are due in 2012.   The elections are going to be held after the FSMNLP 2012 workshop.  More candidates can be nominated in this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Financial Report ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SIG has a nominal amount of cash received from previous workshop organizers as surplus&lt;br /&gt;
and reduced by consumption to invited talks of latter workshops.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, the membership count of the SIGFSM is slowly growing being still well under 100.

=== FSMNLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FSMNLP 2011 was organized in Blois, France, jointly with CIAA 2011 (Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata) because the organizers and the dates of both events were close enough.  14 long and 3 short papers have been accepted to FSMNLP 2011.  In terms of participation, the CIAA/FSMNLP 2011 in Blois was a very successful event: [http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/page.php?nom=home&amp;amp;id=1] (see the picture).  Many CIAA 2011 attendees participated both conferences.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The final FSMNLP 2011 proceedings appeared in the ACL Anthology at http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html .&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* A FSMNLP/SIGFSM business meeting in Blois discussed two proposals for the future venues.  The International Advisory Board later confirmed the future plans: FSMNLP 2012 in Donostia -- San Sebastian, Spain and FSMNLP 2013 in St. Andrews, UK.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There were repeated expressions of shared interest towards a joint workshop with SIGFSM and SIGMORPHON.  It was concluded that such plans would be best realized in an ACL hosted main conference.  This has been also the preference for ATANLP, a SIGFSM endorsed series of workshops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ATANLP ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* SIGFSM was asked to endorse the proposal for an EACL 2012 Workshop on Applications of Tree Automata Techniques in Natural Language Processing (ATANLP 2012).  &lt;br /&gt;
* The workshop took place in April 24, 2012 in Avignon, France [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/].  &lt;br /&gt;
* The preproceedings and the final EACL proceedings of the workshop were published are online, available at [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/programme-2012.html] and http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/sigfsm.html   &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The members of the International Advisory Committee (IAC) were nominated already in 2010 by the president and they are to continue at this position for (at least) the year 2012 by default.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Matthieu Constant (Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France)&lt;br /&gt;
* Colin de la Higuera (Nantes University, France)&lt;br /&gt;
* Lauri Karttunen (Stanford University, USA)&lt;br /&gt;
* Kevin Knight (USC/Information Sciences Institute, USA)&lt;br /&gt;
* András Kornai (Harvard University, USA &amp;amp; Budapest Institute of Technology, Hungary)&lt;br /&gt;
* Andreas Maletti (University of Stuttgart, Germany)&lt;br /&gt;
* Jakub Piskorski (Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw)&lt;br /&gt;
* Bruce W. Watson (University of Pretoria, SA &amp;amp; Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands)&lt;br /&gt;
* Menno van Zaanen (Tilburg University, The Netherlands)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Events and Publications ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FSMNLP 2011 was organized in Blois, France, jointly with CIAA 2011 (Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata) because the organizers and the dates of both events were close enough.  14 long and 3 short papers have been accepted to FSMNLP 2011.  In terms of participation, the CIAA/FSMNLP 2011 in Blois was a very successful event: [http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/page.php?nom=home&amp;amp;id=1] (see the picture).  Many CIAA 2011 attendees participated both conferences.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The final FSMNLP 2011 proceedings appeared in the ACL Anthology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A FSMNLP/SIGFSM business meeting in Blois discussed two proposals for the future venues.  The International Advisory Board later confirmed the future plans: FSMNLP 2012 in Donostia -- San Sebastian, Spain and FSMNLP 2013 in St. Andrews, UK.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There were repeated expressions of shared interest towards a joint workshop with SIGFSM and SIGMORPHON.  It was concluded that such plans would be best realized in an ACL hosted main conference. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The second SIGFSM elections are due in 2012.   The elections are going to be held after the FSMNLP 2012 workshop.  More candidates can be nominated in this way.&lt;br /&gt;

In 2010, the FSMNLP 2009 workshop published its &#039;&#039;&#039;postproceedings&#039;&#039;&#039; i.e. the revised and selected papers in the series of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS) by Springer (publication year 2010).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Natural Language Processing &#039;&#039;&#039;Volume 17 - Special Issue 02 (Finite-State Methods and Models in Natural Language Processing)&#039;&#039;&#039; - 2011 &lt;br /&gt;
[http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayIssue?decade=2010&amp;amp;jid=NLE&amp;amp;volumeId=17&amp;amp;issueId=02&amp;amp;iid=8225132] was published by the Cambridge University Press.  The guest editors were A. Yli-Jyrä, A. Kornai and J. Sakarovitch.  The reviewing panel worked in 2010 and involved 25+ SIGFSM members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;workshop&#039;&#039;&#039;: In the summer 2010, plans for a joint event of the FSMNLP workshop and the Conference on Implementations and Applications of Automata was prepared.   The current web location for the joint event is http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/.  The event FSMNLP 2011 is taking place in Blois, France on 12-16 (12-15) July, 2011.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The FSMNLP continues its collaborative tradition which allows relating to the related events:  CIAA/FSMNLP 2010 is organized shortly before two related conferences:  DLT 2011 (July 19-22, Milan, Italy) and DCFS 2011 (July 25-27, Giessen, Germany). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some steps towards archived proceedings and open-access publication policies have been implemented: &lt;br /&gt;
* Various issues were contacted (the effort involved the FSMNLP organizers, the FSMNLP 2011 PC chair and the President and possibly some others)  &lt;br /&gt;
* The papers and abstracts of FSMNLP 2011 will be published in proceedings and archived in the ACL Anthology &lt;br /&gt;
* The FSMNLP organizers managed to secure a special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation (Oxford Univ. Press, http://logcom.oxfordjournals.org/ ) for papers presented at FSMNLP 2011 and IWPT 2011 ( http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/iwpt/ ). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two &#039;&#039;&#039;tutorials&#039;&#039;&#039; will be organized in the FSMNLP workshop:&lt;br /&gt;
* Eric Laporte, LIGM, Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France: &amp;quot;Tutorial on Unitex&amp;quot; (http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~unitex/)&lt;br /&gt;
* Sylvain Lombardy, Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France:  &amp;quot;Tutorial on Vaucanson&amp;quot; (http://www.lrde.epita.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Vaucanson/WebHome)&lt;br /&gt;
* In addition, there have been EU funded tutorials on the FSM methods in NLP, but these are not strictly SIGFSM activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;&#039;mailing list&#039;&#039;&#039; for the SIGFSM has been established in 2010 and is under development in 2011.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

In 2010, the FSMNLP 2009 workshop published its &#039;&#039;&#039;postproceedings&#039;&#039;&#039; i.e. the revised and selected papers in the series of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS) by Springer (publication year 2010).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010, SIGFSM held the first &#039;&#039;&#039;elections&#039;&#039;&#039;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;&#039;special issue&#039;&#039;&#039; in the journal of Natural Language Processing received submissions in June 2010 and the special issue was sent to the publisher in November 2010.  The issue came out as the number 2 issue in 2011.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;workshop&#039;&#039;&#039;: In the summer 2010, plans for a joint event of the FSMNLP workshop and the Conference on Implementations and Applications of Automata was prepared.   The current web location for the joint event is http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/.  The event FSMNLP 2011 is taking place in Blois, France on 12-16 (12-15) July, 2011.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The FSMNLP continues it collaborative tradition which allows relating to the related events:&lt;br /&gt;
CIAA/FSMNLP 2010 will be organized shortly before two other conferences on related subjects:  DLT 2011 (July 19-22, Milan, Italy) and DCFS 2011 (July 25-27, Giessen, Germany). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prior plans for &#039;&#039;&#039;proceedings archive and future publication policies&#039;&#039;&#039; have been followed:&lt;br /&gt;
* A lot of efforts for establishing open access publication channels for FSMNLP were done.  Various issues were contacted (the team work involved the workshop chairs, PC chair and the president and possibly others)  &lt;br /&gt;
* The papers and abstracts will be published in FSMNLP 2011 proceedings and archived in the ACL Anthology. &lt;br /&gt;
* The FSMNLP organizers managed to secure a special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation (Oxford Univ. Press, http://logcom.oxfordjournals.org/ ) for papers presented at FSMNLP 2011 and IWPT 2011 ( http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/iwpt/ ). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two &#039;&#039;&#039;tutorials&#039;&#039;&#039; will be organized in the FSMNLP workshop:&lt;br /&gt;
* Eric Laporte, LIGM, Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France: &amp;quot;Tutorial on Unitex&amp;quot; (http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~unitex/)&lt;br /&gt;
* Jacques Sakarovitch, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Paris, France:  &amp;quot;Tutorial on Vaucanson&amp;quot; (http://www.lrde.epita.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Vaucanson/WebHome)&lt;br /&gt;
* In addition, there have been EU funded tutorial on the FSM methods in NLP, but these are not strictly SIGFSM activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;&#039;mailing list&#039;&#039;&#039; for the SIGFSM has been established in 2010 and is under development in 2011.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

During the business meeting, the SIGFSM constitution was accepted.  A list of candidates for nominations for IAC was discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
After the meeting, the International Advisory Committee (IAC), was nominated by the President:  &lt;br /&gt;

== Events and Publications == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2009, SIGFSM and SIGMORPHON were mutually in contact concerning plans for a joint workshop.  However, SIGFSM could not provide volunteers to help in organizing a workshop during 2010.  Besides this, the IAC of SIGFSM has specifically endorsed the following events:&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://fsmnlp2009.fastar.org/Home.html FSMNLP 2009], July 21-24, 2009 in the University of Pretoria, South Africa&lt;br /&gt;
* FSMNLP 2011 is collocated with CIAA 2011 in Blois, France&lt;br /&gt;
* An ACL 2010 workshop: [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/ Applications of Tree Automata in Natural Language Processing] in Uppsala, Sweden&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proceedings of FSMNLP 2009 are currently being published by Springer.  In addition, a special journal issue [http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/projects/jnle/ Finite State Methods and Models in Natural Language Processing] in &#039;&#039;Natural Language Engineering&#039;&#039; by Cambridge University Press has been organized.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A mailing list for the SIGFSM has been established.  Plans including a web site, a proceedings archive and future publication policies were discussed in the SIGFSM meeting.  András Kornai and other former FSMNLP organizers have put some effort on archiving of earlier proceedings.   The SIGFSM has had varying policies concerning proceedings publishers.  In FSMNLP 2009, T. Hanneforth advocated an Open Access policy.  There seem to be interest in Open Access publishing in long term and a need to weight the alternatives by ballot.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 2009, SIGFSM and SIGMORPHON were mutually in contact concerning plans for a joint workshop.  However, SIGFSM could not provide volunteers to help in organizing a workshop during 2010.  Besides this, the IAC of SIGFSM has specifically endorsed the following events:&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://fsmnlp2009.fastar.org/Home.html FSMNLP 2009], July 21-24, 2009 in the University of Pretoria, South Africa&lt;br /&gt;
* FSMNLP 2011 is collocated with CIAA 2011 in Blois, France&lt;br /&gt;
* An ACL 2010 workshop: [http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/atanlp/ Applications of Tree Automata in Natural Language Processing] in Uppsala, Sweden&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proceedings of FSMNLP 2009 are currently being published by Springer.  In addition, a special journal issue [http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/projects/jnle/ Finite State Methods and Models in Natural Language Processing] in &#039;&#039;Natural Language Engineering&#039;&#039; by Cambridge University Press has been organized.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A mailing list for the SIGFSM has been established.  Plans including a web site, a proceedings archive and future publication policies were discussed in the SIGFSM meeting.  András Kornai and other former FSMNLP organizers have put some effort on archiving of earlier proceedings.   The SIGFSM has had varying policies concerning proceedings publishers.  In FSMNLP 2009, T. Hanneforth advocated an Open Access policy.  There seem to be interest in Open Access publishing in long term and a need to weight the alternatives by ballot.&lt;br /&gt;

A mailing list for the SIGFSM has been established.  Plans including a web site, a proceedings archive and future publication policies were discussed in the SIGFSM meeting.  András Kornai and other former FSMNLP organizers have put some effort on archiving of earlier proceedings.   The SIGFSM has had varying policies concerning proceedings publishers.  In FSMNLP 2009, T. Hanneforth advocated an Open Access policy.  There seem to be interest in Open Access publishing in long term and a need to weight the alternatives by ballot.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

* Laurette Pretorius (Secretary)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first business meeting of SIGFSM was held during the FSMNLP 2009 workshop on July 22, 2009, at the University of Pretoria.  &lt;br /&gt;
During the business meeting, the SIGFSM constitution was accepted.  A list of candidates for nominations for IAC was discussed.&lt;br /&gt;

* FSMNLP 2011 is collocated with CIAA 2011 in Blois, France&lt;br /&gt;
* An ACL 2010 workshop: Applications of Tree Automata in Natural Language Processing in Uppsala, Sweden&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, a special journal issue _Finite State Methods and Models in Natural Language Processing_ in Natural Language Engineering has been organized.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open positions:&lt;br /&gt;
* Web Master&lt;br /&gt;
* Liaison Representative&lt;br /&gt;
