Call for Participation: Second Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing in the
Humanities (SOCH)
Service-Oriented Computing in the Humanities (SOCH)
A joint workshop of the EPSRC Service-Oriented Software Research
Network (SOSoRNet) and the AHRC ICT Methods Network
King's College London, UK, 17-18 December 2007
A key message to emerge from the first SOCH workshop, held at King's one
year ago, is that communities of practice in the humanities are increasingly
turning to service-oriented approaches as their data becomes ever more
complex and dispersed. This second event will seek to provide those
researchers a forum for intensive discussion, framed by a highly focused
group of international speakers from the cutting edge of service-oriented
research as applied to the humanities (with examples from music, archaeology
and medieval history); as well as from academics working with tools and
resources that have the potential to develop new research methodologies
based around the service-oriented approach.
The programme of invited speakers will include:
- David de Roure, University of Southampton
- mc schraefel, University of Southampton
- Michael Meredith, University of Sheffield
- Stuart Jeffrey, Archaeology Data Service
- Xavier Llora, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- J. Stephen Downie, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
We now invite participation in this workshop. It is likely to be of interest
to any humanist researcher working with, or interested in, advanced network
technologies, as well as to computer scientists who are interested in
learning more about this new and rapidly developing area of application.
Participation is free and open to all, but registration is essential as
numbers may be limited.
To register, please complete the registration form on the sosornet website:

([log in to unmask]) before 1st December 2007.

What is SOSoRNet for?
- To share best-practice and research in service-oriented software
systems
- To bring together academic researchers and industrial practitioners
- To promote cross-fertilisation of ideas between communities
Who is it for?
Anyone involved in service-oriented software development and use e.g.
- Grid researchers
- Application service providers
- Users and developers of web services
About AHRC ICT Methods Network
------------------------------
The Methods Network is a multi-disciplinary partnership providing a
national forum for the exchange and dissemination of expertise in the
use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for arts and
humanities research. The aims of the Methods Network are: - To
promote, support and develop the use of advanced ICT methods in arts
and humanities research and to support the cross-disciplinary network
of practitioners from institutions around the UK. - To develop a
programme of activities and publications on advanced ICT tools and
methods and to ensure the broadest participation of the community by
means of an open call for proposals for Methods Network activities.
