ASSOCIATION FOR LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC COMPUTING
JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ACH-ALLC'97
June 3-7, 1997
Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, CANADA
http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/achallc97
ACH-ALLC97 invites submissions of between 1000 and 2000 words on any
aspect of humanities computing, broadly defined as the point of
intersection between computing methodologies and problems, both
traditional and new, in humanities research and teaching.
Appropriate areas include, but are not limited to, languages and
literature, history, philosophy, music, art, film studies, linguistics,
anthropology, archaeology, art history, creative writing, and cultural
studies. We particularly encourage submissions from non-text-based
areas, which have been under-represented in the past.
We are interested in receiving
technical proposals that focus on new computational tools and
approaches to research in humanities disciplines;
proposals that 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;
proposals which present and discuss applications of computing
methodologies and tools to audio and visual materials;
proposals that focus on significant issues in the creation and
management of digital resources relevant to the humanities, including
design, documentation, storage, representation, discovery and retrieval;
proposals that either present or evaluate software applications and
uses for humanities-based teaching;
proposals dealing with the role of humanities computing in
undergraduate and graduate training and institutional support for
humanities computing.
Graduate students are encouraged to submit proposals. Those describing
finished research should be submitted as papers. Less advanced
dissertation research or work not fully completed may be submitted
either as a poster or as part of a panel session. See below for details.
Students and young scholars should also read the note on bursaries later
in this document.
Proposals may be submitted in either English or French.
