This CDROM contains the proceedings of both the SST 2004
Conference (including the PANZE workshop) and the Australian
Language Technology Workshop. Both events were held at the same
site but the refereeing process was separate in each case. Both
proceedings are published here under the same ISBN.
Authors for the SST conference were given the choice of
submitting a full paper or a one page abstract. Each of these was
reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. Those papers
accepted after full paper review are as follows.
