kcl.ac.uk>CALL FOR PAPERS: FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC COMPUTING ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTERS AND THE HUMANITIES JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ALLC/ACH 2000 JULY 21-25, 2000 UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, UK. ALLC/ACH 2000 invites submissions of between 1000 and 1500 words on any aspect of humanities computing, broadly defined as the point of intersection between computing methodologies and problems in humanities research and teaching, encompassing both traditional and new, and discipline-specific and inter-disciplinary, approaches. Appropriate discipline areas include, but are not limited to, languages and literature, history, philosophy, music, art, film studies, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, creative writing, and cultural studies. We particularly encourage submissions from non-text-based areas and from library science, both of which have been under-represented in the past. Other areas of interest include the creation and use of digital resources (what has been characterised as 'extending the scale and breadth of scholarly evidence') and the application to humanities data of techniques developed in such fields as information science and the physical sciences and engineering (including neural networks and image processing). We are interested in receiving technicalproposals that focus on new computational tools and approaches to research in humanities disciplines; proposalsthat focus on traditional applications of computing in humanities disciplines, including (but not limited to) text encoding, hypertext, text corpora, computational lexicography, statistical models, and syntactic, semantic, stylistic and other forms of text analysis; proposalswhich present and discuss applications of computing methodologies and tools to audio and visual materials; proposals that focus on significant issues of creation, representation, discovery, delivery, management and preservation of digital and other resources relevant to the humanities; proposals that present and evaluate the use of computers in humanities teaching; proposals dealing with the role of humanities computing in undergraduate and graduate teaching and institutional support for humanities computing. PhD students are encouraged to submit proposals. Those describing finished research may be submitted as papers. Ongoing dissertation research may be submitted as poster proposals. See below for details. Those interested in seeing the type of paper the committee is looking for can consult the abstracts of papers at previous conferences: University of Bergen, Norway - http://www.hd.uib.no/allc-ach96.html Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada - http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/achallc97/, Lajos Kossuth University, Debrecen, Hungary - http://lingua.arts.klte.hu/allcach98/, University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - http://www.iath.virginia.edu/ach-allc.99/. Students and young scholars should also read the note on bursaries later in this document. Papers may be given in English, French, and German, but to facilitate the reviewing process we ask that proposals for papers in a language other than English are submitted with an English translation. The deadline for submissions of paper/session proposals is 15 NOVEMBER 1999. The deadline for submissions of poster/demo proposals is 15 JANUARY 2000. FORMAT OF PROPOSALS Proposals may be of four types: papers, posters, software demonstrations, and sessions. The type of submission should be specified in the header of the proposal. PAPERS Proposals for papers (1000-1500 words) should describe completed research which has given rise to substantial results. Individual papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation, including questions. Proposals should describe original work. Those that concentrate on the development of new computing methodologies should make clear how the methodologies are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, and should include some critical assessment of the application of those methodologies in the humanities. Those that concentrate on a particular application in the humanities should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include some critical assessment of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include conclusions and references to important sources. Those describing the creation or use of digital resources should follow these guidelines as far as possible. POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS Poster presentations and software and project demonstrations (either stand-alone or in conjunction with poster presentations) are designed to give researchers an opportunity to present late- breaking results, significant work in progress, well-defined problems, or research that is best communicated in conversational mode. By definition, poster presentations are less formal and more interactive than a standard talk. Poster presenters have the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees and to discuss their work in detail with those most deeply interested in the same topic. Each presenter is provided with about 2 square metres of board space to display their work. They may also provide handouts with examples or more detailed information. Posters will remain on display throughout the conference, but a block of time separate from paper sessions will be assigned when presenters should be prepared to explain their work and answer questions. Specific times will also be assigned for software or project demonstrations. The format for proposals for posters and software demonstrations are the same as those for regular papers. Proposals for software or project demonstrations should indicate the type of hardware that would be required if the proposal is accepted. SESSIONS Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either: (a) Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement describing the session topic, include abstracts of 1000- 1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session; or (b) A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 1000-1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. The deadline for session proposals is the same as for proposals for papers. FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS All submissions must be sent electronically. Please pay particular attention to the format given below. Submissions which do not conform to this format will be returned to the authors for reformatting, or may not be considered if they arrive very close to the deadline. All submissions should begin with the following information: TYPE OF PROPOSAL: paper, poster, session or software demonstration. TITLE: title of paper or session KEYWORDS: three keywords (maximum) describing the main contents of the paper or session If submitting a session proposal, give the following information for each paper: TITLE: title of paper KEYWORDS: three keywords (maximum) describing the main contents of the paper AUTHOR: name of first author AFFILIATION: of first author E-MAIL: of first author If submitting a paper proposal, give the following information: AUTHOR: name of first author AFFILIATION: of first author E-MAIL: of first author AUTHOR: name of second author (repeat these three headings as necessary) AFFILIATION: of second author E-MAIL: of second author CONTACT ADDRESS: full postal address of first author or contact person for session proposals FAX NUMBER: of first author PHONE NUMBER: of first author Proposals should take the form of ASCII or ISO-8859/1 files. Where necessary, a header should indicate the combinations of ASCII characters used to represent characters outside the ASCII or ISO 8859/1 range. Notes, if needed, should take the form of endnotes rather than footnotes. Submissions should be entered into the online form on the web page at: http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/allcach2k/ or sent to: allcach2kMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
