Call for Papers Announcement

The international Programme Committee invites submissions of abstracts of between 750 and 1500 words on any aspect of humanities computing and the digital humanities, broadly defined to encompass the common ground between information technology and issues in humanities research and teaching. As always, we welcome submissions in any area of the humanities, particularly interdisciplinary work. We especially encourage submissions on the current state of the art in humanities computing and the digital humanities, and on recent and expected future developments in the field.

Suitable subjects for proposals include, for example,

text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning
creation, delivery and management of humanities digital resources
collaboration between libraries and scholars in the creation, delivery, and management of humanities digital resources
computer-based research and computing applications in all areas of literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship
use of computation in such areas as the arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, and other areas reflecting our cultural heritage
research issues such as: information design and modelling; the cultural impact of the new media
the role of digital humanities in academic curricula
Proposals should report significant and substantive results and will include reference to pertinent work in the field (up to 10 items) as part of their critical assessment.

The range of topics covered by humanities computing can also be consulted in the journal of the associations: Literary and Linguistic Computing (LLC), Oxford University Press.

The deadline for submitting paper, session and poster proposals to the Programme Committee is November 1, 2006 (midnight CST). All submissions will be refereed. Presenters will be notified of acceptance February 1, 2007.

The electronic submission form will be available at the conference site from October 1st, 2006. See below for full details on submitting proposals.
