Scope:
This workshop focuses on the challenges and opportunities of data-driven
humanities and seeks to bring together world-leading scientists and
scholars at the forefront of this emerging field, at the interface
between computer science, social science, humanities and mathematics.
As historical knowledge becomes increasingly available in forms that
computers can process, this data becomes amenable to large-scale
computational analysis and interpretation. what are the impacts for
humanities, social sciences, computer science and complex systems?
Perhaps mathematical analysis of the dynamic, evolutionary patterns
observed in the data helps us to better understand the past and can even
produce empirically-grounded predictions about the future.
We seek
* computer scientists and digital humanities experts to introduce
technologies and tools they have applied in order to extract knowledge
from historical records in a form that can be processed by computers
without losing its meaningfulness.
* scientists working at the forefront of mathematical and theoretical
analysis of historical data, to describe what is possible with current
tools.
Sounds great!
*Submission guidelines
Submission URL is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chdh2016
Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to
another conference or journal for consideration. Accepted papers will be
presented at the conference. All submitted papers will be evaluated
based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
expression. All papers will be refereed by 3 members of the PC. All
submissions must be in English. We solicit short papers describing (i)
new ideas (5-6 pages) and (ii) longer papers presenting more
tangible results (max. 10 pages). At least one author of each accepted
paper must register by the early date indicated on the conference
website and present the paper. Authors must follow the Springer LNCS
formatting instructions: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs.
*Highlights:
All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available
through IFIP Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific
libraries. Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar,
ISI, EICompendex, Scopus and many more. Accepted papers after
presentation and extension may be invited to be published in a special
issue of Cliodynamics: The Journal of Quantitative History and Cultural
Evolution (e-ISSN: 2373-7530) and indexed by Scopus.
It sounds like this workshop is encouraging and endorsing the following:
* Store scholarly articles essentially in PDF
* Hand the knowledge over to a 3rd party company
Is that an accurate summary?
