The 2015 International
Congress on Digital Heritage
28 September - 2 October
2015, Granada, Spain
SECOND
CALL FOR PAPERS
http://www.digitalheritage2015.org/
!!!! Full Papers Deadline for Submission -
29th March !!!!!
============================================================================
============================
DigitalHeritage is the international event for those working on information
technology for heritage. A "federated" world congress of the leading
international societies, organizations, and events around IT for heritage,
DigitalHeritage 2015 will bring together for the second time, VSMM,
Eurographics GCH, Arqueológica 2.0, Archaeovirtual, and special events from
CAA, CIPA, Space2Place, ICOMOS ICIP, and more, all in one venue with a
prestigious joint publication. A groundbreaking public display of cutting
edge digital heritage projects will also grace the conference venue at
Granada's Alhambra and Parque de las Ciencias.
Following the successful format of the first DigitalHeritage in 2013, the
conference will have a single call for papers and a coordinated scientific
review process across all the federating events.
We are seeking original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions
in theoretical or applied Digital Heritage areas. All papers will be
double-blind peer-reviewed by at minimum 3 referees from the International
Scientific Committee. Every submission will have at least one technical and
one cultural reviewer to ensure a rich diversity of accepted works spanning
both technology and the humanities. All submissions will be reviewed for
originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness.
Digital Heritage 2015 is composed of a number of parallel tracks, including
full and short papers, special sessions (tutorials, workshops and panels),
exhibitions, and special events.
SUBMISSIONS
===========
Since this is a joint World Congress, you need to submit only once to be
considered for the integrated joint proceedings of all affiliated events. We
remind that we will have a single review process and publication.
Each submission shall indicate the specific Digital Heritage 2015 Theme (see
below) that is more relevant.
You may submit to participate in DigitalHeritage in several ways:
PAPERS
Full (8-page properly formatted paper via EasyChair)
Short (4-page properly formatted paper via EasyChair). Short papers can be
presented as oral presentations or posters.
Note that papers not considered ready for full publication may be redirected
as posters.
SPECIAL SESSIONS
Workshop/Tutorial/Panel (up to 4-page overview via EasyChair)
EXPO
Exhibit (up to 4-page overview via EasyChair)
See the following sections for submission details and deadlines.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
====================
All submissions will need to be submitted by means of EasyChair that is
accessible through
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digitalheritage2015
FULL AND SHORT PAPERS
---------------------
Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages for full papers (including
figures, tables and references) and 4 pages for short paper presentations.
Authors should select a single scientific Theme for each submission.
The two best papers on each theme will be invited to submit an extended
version of the paper to a an International Journal including:
ACM Journ. on Computing and Cultural Heritage - JOCCH
(
http://jocch.acm.org/)
Journal of Cultural Heritage (Elsevier,
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-cultural-heritage/)
Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage - DAACH (Elsevier,
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/digital-applications-in-archaeology-and-cul
tural-heritage/)
Also this year all full papers within the proceedings will be submitted for
inclusion into IEEE Xplore digital library and co-placed in the EG Digital
Library.
Short papers will be presented at the event by either an oral presentation
or by means of a poster and e-posters presentation. Authors of a short paper
should indicate the preferred way of presentation (Oral or Poster).
As the conference adopts a double-blind reviewing process, authors must
ensure that any information that links authors or co-authors, e.g.
affiliations, contact details, e-mails, to the paper are removed on the
paper for the first submission step. Registration details on easyChair
should remain at place.
Full and Short papers must be formatted in IEEE double column, single space
format, A4 page. The word style or the LaTeX template can be downloaded from
the IEEE site.
SPECIAL SESSIONS
----------------
Special Sessions will include: Tutorials, Workshops and Panels
For a Special Session proposal to be considered for acceptance at Digital
Heritage 2015, the proposed topic needs to be a presentation of teaching
objectives (tutorials), contributions to the state-of-the-art, new
initiatives or an emerging area in one of the core themes of the conference.
The topic should be timely and significantly important to the audience, and
the speakers need to convey compelling information about it.
Tutorials should be planned as half-day or full-day, at introductory,
intermediate or advanced levels, and could cover any theme among the entire
spectrum of topics of the Conference. They could focus vertically on
technology, or could demonstrate its potential for creative applications.
Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly,
how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. While
proposing a tutorial, authors should consider that tutorial attendees come
from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to
education, curatorship and applications.
Proposals for Workshops and Panels will be judged by the ability to bring
together key researchers from the CH as well as ICT domains, aiming at
introducing a new area to the overall community, to further develop it, and
to help establishing a larger research community beyond that area. Special
session proposals covering multi-disciplinary areas are particularly
encouraged, as well as those proposals regarding common challenges, e.g.
(and not restricted to) Methods in Archaeology, Museums and Technology, etc.
Special Session submissions (up to 4 A4-pages) should contain the following
information:
- A title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance
to the DH community (not more than 1,500 words);
- Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop
leaders, including a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and
areas of expertise;
- A short CV for each presenter, participant or authors who have agreed to
participate with their results to the session
- A description of target audience and expected number of participants
(based, if possible, on past experience);
- Any special requirements for technical support.
Additionally, Tutorial proposals should include:
- A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half day
(approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day
tutorials may be supported as well.
Workshop proposals must include:
- The intended length and format of the workshop and the forecasted number
of attendees;
- A proposed budget (as DH workshops are expected to be self-financing).
