The ELPUB 2006 conference will keep the tradition of the nine
previous international conferences on electronic publishing, held in
the United Kingdom (in 1997 and 2001), Hungary (1998), Sweden (1999),
Russia (2000), the Czech Republic (2002), Portugal (2003), Brazil
(2004) and Belgium (2005), which is to bring together researchers,
lecturers, librarians, developers, businessmen, entrepreneurs,
managers, users and all those interested on issues regarding
electronic publishing in widely differing contexts. These include the
human, cultural, economic, social, technological, legal, commercial
and other relevant aspects that such an exciting theme encompasses.
Three distinguished features of this conference are: broad scope of
topics which creates a unique atmosphere of active exchange and
learning about various aspects of electronic publishing; combination
of general and technical tracks; and a condensed procedure of
submission, revision and publication of proceedings which guarantees
presentations of most recent work.
ELPUB 2006 offers a variety of activities, such as workshops,
tutorials, panel debates etc. Thus, the conference attendees will
benefit from:
- The communication of scientific papers specially prepared for the
conference; all papers are to be reviewed and accepted by the
international ELPUB Programme Committee;
- Workshops and tutorials that aim to provide opportunity for
attendants to update themselves in topics of high interest within
this community of experts;
- Plenary sessions that aim to summarise the main ideas presented
and discussed during the presentation of the conference papers;
- Panel debates on selected topics; possible topics include news
item publishing or new methods, including Open Access, for publishing
scientific literature;
- Demonstration sessions and presentation of posters.
The ELPUB 2006 keynote will be presented by Dan Matei. He is a
professional programmer (specialised in information retrieval) and
director of CIMEC - Institute for Cultural Memory in Bucharest. His
interests in data models for libraries and museums, cataloguing,
digital libraries, taxonomies, surrealism, post-minimalist music are
well-known will be reflected in the keynote adress: "Worldwide
'communitarian' online publishing: An exercise in wishful thinking".
*** Herbert van de Sompel has also agreed to present a keynote talk. ***
