A workshop on Applied Spoken Language Interaction in Distributed Environments (ASIDE2005) will be held on November 10^th and 11^th 2005 at Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark.

The emergence of networked devices has broken down the classical partitioning of interactive systems into telecom and desktop applications and the past decade has witnessed a growing interest in deploying spoken language interaction in distributed environments. However, interactive systems of a distributed nature are not only emerging but are also creating new challenges to the required research in interactive systems.

This workshop will both deal with features of current distributed systems and the research challenges of future systems by bringing together researchers from both universities and industry to consider different aspects of applying spoken language interaction in distributed environments.

The workshop is organised by COST (European cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) Action 278 on Spoken Language Interaction in Telecommunication and is the same time the final workshop of COST278. In addition the workshop is organised as an ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop (ITRW).

In addition to regular technical sessions, the workshop will include invited plenary talks on topics of related general interest. The workshop will be divided into four sessions during the two days.
