IEEE International conference on Digital Ecosystem Technologies -
Complex Engineering Environment (IEEE DEST-CEE 2012)
18th-20th June 2012, Campione d'Italia, Italy
Deadline for abstracts; April 2nd 2012
TRACK E: DIGITAL HUMANITIES
The digital humanities form a bridge between the traditional practices
of scholarship and the opportunities afforded by advances in technology,
enabling researchers to reconsider old problems in new ways, and
providing the methods, tools and frameworks to support them in
developing new modes of enquiry. On the one hand, the humanities are
faced with ever greater volumes of complex data and digital resources,
for example from the increasing mass digitisation of historical records.
On the other hand, research in the humanities is moving away from the
model of individual scholars to one in which international and
inter-disciplinary teams of researchers collaborate actively within a
diverse ecosystem of digital resources, tools, and services, not
forgetting of course the users themselves – the rapid evolution of Web
technologies continues to privilege the human as a key agent, both as
provider and consumer of content, and this in turn is investing
humanities scholarship with an increasing awareness of vast new
audiences and potential participants.
We are looking for papers that address medium-scale/large-scale and
medium-term/long-term challenges for digital humanities, and
indicate/demonstrate potential solutions.
For more details, and information on how to submit a paper, see the
