CALL FOR PAPERS: FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
ASSOCIATION FOR LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC COMPUTING
ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTERS AND THE HUMANITIES
JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ALLC/ACH 2000
JULY 21-25, 2000 UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, UK.
ALLC/ACH 2000 invites submissions of between 1000 and 1500 words on
any aspect of humanities computing, broadly defined as the point of
intersection between computing methodologies and problems in
humanities research and teaching, encompassing both traditional and
new, and discipline-specific and inter-disciplinary, approaches.
Appropriate discipline areas include, but are not limited to,
languages and literature, history, philosophy, music, art, film
studies, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, creative writing, and
cultural studies. We particularly encourage submissions from
non-text-based areas and from library science, both of which have been
under-represented in the past.
Other areas of interest include the creation and use of digital
resources (what has been characterised as 'extending the scale and
breadth of scholarly evidence') and the application to humanities data
of techniques developed in such fields as information science and the
physical sciences and engineering (including neural networks and image
processing).
We are interested in receiving technicalproposals that focus on new
computational tools and approaches to research in humanities
disciplines; proposalsthat 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; proposalswhich present and discuss applications of
computing methodologies and tools to audio and visual materials;
proposalsthat focus on significant issues of creation, representation,
discovery, delivery, management and preservation of digital and other
resources relevant to the humanities; proposalsthat present and
evaluate the use of computers in humanities teaching; proposalsdealing
with the role of humanities computing in undergraduate and graduate
teaching and institutional support for humanities computing.
PhD students are encouraged to submit proposals. Those describing
finished research may be submitted as papers. Ongoing dissertation
research may be submitted as poster proposals. See below for details.
Those interested in seeing the type of paper the committee is looking
for can consult the abstracts of papers at previous conferences:
University of Bergen, Norway - http://www.hd.uib.no/allc- ach96.html,
Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada -

Students and young scholars should also read the note on bursaries
later in this document.
Papers may be given in English, French, and German, but to facilitate
the reviewing process we ask that proposals for papers in a language
other than English are submitted with an English translation.
The deadline for submissions of paper/session proposals is 15
NOVEMBER 1999.
The deadline for submissions of poster/demo proposals is 15
JANUARY 2000.

Sheffield will be sponsoring the first of two conferences on The Cognitive
Basis of Science.
The goal of these conferences is to bring together scientists and scholars
from a variety of disciplines to explore what is known about the cognitive
mechanisms and processes that underlie scientific reasoning and practice and
to chart directions for future research.
This first conference will be held at Rutgers University in New Brunswick,
New
Jersey, from Friday, November 5th through Sunday, November 7th, 1999. The
conference is open to all; no registration fee will be required.
