by Marco BÜCHLER 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

[Apologies for cross-posting] * **12th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems, April 11-14, 2016, Island of Santorini, Greece * /Further information and information about the submission can be found here: http://www.primaresearch.org/das2016/// / *About the conference* DAS 2016 is the 12th edition of the 100% participation single-track IAPR sponsored workshop focusing on system-level issues and approaches in document analysis and recognition. The workshop comprises invited speaker presentations, oral, poster, tutorial and demo sessions as well as working group discussions. DAS 2016 will be organized on the *island of Santorini, Greece (April 11-14, 2016)*. Santorini was created from a volcanic eruption that left it with volcanic cliffs overlooking a black and red coast, dazzling against the turquoise Mediterranean. Santorini is one of the most popular, beautiful and unique islands in the world since it combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere, spectacular scenery of deep blue sea and whitewashed houses, breathtaking sunsets, ancient sites, world-class restaurants and an active volcano. *Submission Types* DAS2016 will include both long and short papers, posters and demonstrations of working or prototype systems. All submissions will undergo a rigorous review process with a minimum of 3 reviews considering the originality of work, the quality of research or analysis of experience, the relevance to document analysis systems, and quality of presentation of ideas. _Full Papers_ Full papers should describe complete works of original research. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum, up to 6 pages length. _Short Papers_ Short papers provide an opportunity to report on research in progress, to present novel positions on document analysis systems. Authors may submit short papers (up to 2 pages in length). Short papers will also undergo review and will appear in an extra booklet, not in the official DAS2016 proceedings. _Demonstrations_ DAS2016 seeks public demonstrations of novel systems, to be presented to the workshop as a whole during breaks between paper sessions. Prospective demonstrators should submit a two-page summary of the system to be demonstrated. Demonstration proposals will undergo review and summaries of accepted demonstrations will appear in the extra DAS2016 booklet, as in the case of short papers. *Topics & Technologies* * Algorithms for graphics recognition * Applications * Authoring, annotation, and presentation systems * Camera-based document image analysis * Document analysis for digital humanities * Document analysis for mobile devices * Document analysis for the internet * Document analysis systems for libraries and archives * Document databases and digital libraries * Document image analysis (DIA) systems * Document image watermarking * Document retrieval systems * Document understanding * Forensic document analysis * Historical document analysis * Information extraction from document images * Multilingual document analysis * Multimedia document analysis * Page layout analysis * Pen-based user interface * Performance evaluation * * *Important Dates* _ Tutorials proposals_ Proposals due Sep 04, 2015 _Regular Papers__ _Abstracts due Sep 25, 2015 Papers due Oct 02, 2015 Decision notification Dec 07, 2015 Camera ready due Jan 08, 2016 Early registration Jan 08, 2016 _ __Short Papers_ Papers due Jan 08, 2016 Decision notification Feb 08, 2016 Camera ready due Feb 22, 2016 * Committees* _General Chairs_ Apostolos Antonacopoulos, UK Basilis Gatos, Greece _Program Chairs_ Michael Blumenstein, Australia Josep LLadós, Spain Dan Lopresti, USA _Tutorial Chairs_ Dimosthenis Karatzas, Spain Cheng-Lin Liu, China _Publicity Chairs_ Gernot Fink, Germnay Marco Büchler, Germany Clemens Neudecker, Germany _Publications Chair_ Stefan Pletschacher, UK _Organising Committee_ Christian Clausner, UK George Louloudis, Greece Christos Papadopoulos, UK Nikolaos Stamatopoulos, Greece _Program Committee_ Elisa Barney Smith, USA Bill Barrett, USA Abdel Belaid, France Mohamed Cheriet, Canada Andreas Dengel, Germany Xiaoqing Ding, China Veronique Eglin, France Andreas Fischer, Switzerland Alicia Fornés, Spain Volkmar Frinken, Japan Venu Govindaraju, USA Tin Kam Ho, USA Nicholas Howe, USA Rolf Ingold, Switzerland Masakazu Iwamura, Japan Koichi Kise, Japan Bart Lamiroy, France Laurence Likforman-Sulem, France Rafael Lins, Brazil Marcus Liwicki, Germany Laura Mandell, USA R.

CfP Kalamazoo "Digital Methods: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Manuscript Studies"
by Brookes, Stewart 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

Event: 51st International Congress on Medieval Studies Place: Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI Date: 12th-15th May 2016 Needed: You ;-) Dear all, Just to let you know that there are still a few days left to submit an abstract for one of the two sessions proudly sponsored by the DigiPal/Models of Authority team: Session 1: "Digital Methods 1: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Palaeography" Session 2: "Digital Methods 2: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Manuscript Studies" Interested? Then send us an abstract! It's all pretty simple really. All you need to do is read the blurbs below, decide which session suits you best, and then send an abstract of a couple of hundred words or so (we won't count them, but try not to overdo it) to us at digipal(a)kcl.ac.uk by ish 15th September 2015. And if you fill in a Participant Information Form, and send that too, we'd be very grateful. You can find the PIF here: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#PIF And if for some curious reason we don't accept your abstract, never fear: any surplus proposals will be sent to the Congress committee for consideration for general sessions. Looking forward to reading your abstracts, Stewart Brookes "Digital Methods 1: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Palaeography" Taking palaeography and codicology as its focus, this session will consider how computer-assisted techniques might advance our understanding of the handwriting of the scribes who were producing charters, homilies, farming memoranda and other aspects of the written culture of medieval Britain. Utilising computer-based resources for the study of medieval handwriting, the papers will investigate the influence of scriptoria and the politics of writing style; the significance of scribal choices such as cursive or set; and whether text type can be said to determine the style of writing. "Digital Methods 2: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Manuscript Studies" The large number of initiatives to digitise medieval manuscripts mean that we now have unprecedented access to medieval texts. In many ways, this explosion of knowledge can be compared to the early years of the printing press. But how might we best utilise this growing body of material? This session will explore the potential for the computer-assisted study of medieval manuscripts; discuss the intersection of manuscript studies and Digital Humanities; and share methodologies. The topics under discussion will include the encoding and transcription of medieval texts, the practical and theoretical consequences of the use of digital surrogates and the visualisation of manuscript evidence and data. — Dr Stewart J Brookes Department of Digital Humanities King's College London

CFP Reminder: Technical Communication in the Middle Ages (Kalamazoo 2016)
by M. Wendy Hennequin 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Please excuse cross-posting, and please feel free to forward to any relevant lists. CFP, ICMS ("Kalamazoo") 2016: Technical Communications in the Middle Ages Scholars have long recognized Chaucer’s “Treatise on the Astrolabe” as an early technical document, yet few similar medieval texts have been discussed as specimens of technical communication. This session seeks to consider the traditions and conventions of medieval technical communication, as well as the connections between medieval and contemporary technical writing. Possible texts for consideration might include (but are not limited to) penitential and conduct manuals, monastic rules, business correspondence, medical treatises, scientific and pseudo-scientific manuals (including alchemical and astrological ones), cookery books, law codes, and government and military documents. Papers should consider the texts as technical communication, but may focus either on any aspect, including writing, layout, design, etc. Please send abstracts and participant information forms via e-mail to Wendy Hennequin (mwhennequin(a)gmail.com) by September 15. Thanks, Wendy -- Dr. M. Wendy Hennequin Department of Languages, Literature, and Philosophy Tennessee State University 3500 John A Merritt Blvd. Nashville, TN 37209 MWHennequin(a)gmail.com
