        Association for Computers and the Humanities
        Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing

        Joint International Conference of the ACH/ALLC in 1999:

        Digital Libraries for  Humanities Scholarship and Teaching

        JUNE 9-13, 1999
        University of Virginia
        Charlottesville, Virginia, USA


The ACH and ALLC invite submissions of 1,500 to 2,000 words on any aspect
of humanities computing, defined broadly as the use of computing
methodologies in humanities research, teaching, or archives.

The ACH and the ALLC have held joint conferences, alternating between North
America and Europe, for the last 18 years. This conference is the premier
forum for presenting innovative work in the humanities that makes use of
computing methodology.

The conference welcomes work across the humanities disciplines, including
(but not limited to) languages and literature, history, philosophy,
anthropology, and art history; the creative arts, such as creative writing,
art and music; cultural studies and anthropology; computational linguistics
and corpus linguistics.

We encourage submissions from scholars, teachers, librarians, museum
professionals, editors, and publishers involved in the creation,
maintenance, delivery, and use of digital information. We especially
encourage submissions from those new to the ACH and the ALLC.

Recommended characteristics of submissions:

In the interests of fostering lively debate, we invite:

   * sessions or papers which illuminate (or incite) debates within a field
     of humanities computing

   * papers which situate projects with respect to current debates and
     previous work, or explore the theoretical ramifications of new
     developments

   * sessions which dramatize methodological differences, or which explore
     a variety of approaches

Suggested topics for submissions:

   * significant issues of creation, representation, discovery, delivery,
     teaching, management and preservation of digital resources relevant to
     the humanities

   * hypertext, markup, text corpora, statistical models, linguistic text
     analysis, humanities computing as a discipline

   * the role of humanities computing in undergraduate and graduate
     training, and institutional support for humanities computing

   * analytical discussions of software applications and implementations
     for teaching humanities content, and evaluations of such uses

Deadlines:

     Submission of paper/panel: December 1, 1998

     Notification: February 1, 1999

     Submission of Posters/Demos: January 7, 1999

     Revisions of accepted papers for the Conference Proceedings: May 1,
     1999

Format of Proposals

Proposals may be of four types:

     papers
     panel sessions
     posters
     software demonstrations

The type of submission should be specified in the header of the proposal.

Papers

Proposals for papers (1,500 words) should take into consideration the
recommended characteristics for submissions, above. Individual papers will
be allocated 30 minutes for presentation, including questions.

Proposals should describe original work. Those that concentrate on the
development of new computing methodologies should make clear how the
methodologies have been or might be applied to research and/or teaching in
the humanities, and should include some critical assessment of the
application of those methodologies in the humanities. Those that
concentrate on a particular application in the humanities should cite
traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should
include some critical assessment of the computing methodologies used. All
proposals should include conclusions and references, and should indicate a
familiarity with previous work in the area.

Paper proposals are due: December 1, 1998

Panel Sessions

Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either:

  1. Three papers on a topic, either exploring it in depth, or presenting
     differing views on it. The panel organizer should make sure the
     session schedule leaves room for discussion. The session organizer
     should submit a 500-word statement describing the session topic, plus
     1,000-word abstracts for each paper, and indicate that each author is
     willing to participate in the session;

     or

  2. A panel of four to six speakers on a topic. The speakers should either
     present different facets of the topic or they should introduce a
     debate on it. In either case, the panel organizer should make sure
     that there is enough time left for discussion among the panelists and
     the audience. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 1,500
     words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names
     of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to
     participate in the session.

Panel Session proposals are due: December 1, 1998

Posters and Demonstrations

Poster presentations and software and project demonstrations (either
stand-alone or in conjunction with poster presentations) are designed to
give researchers an opportunity to present late-breaking results,
significant work in progress, well-defined problems, or research that is
best communicated in conversational mode.

By definition, poster presentations are less formal and more interactive
than a standard talk. Poster presenters have the opportunity to exchange
ideas one-on-one with attendees and to discuss their work in detail with
those most deeply interested in the same topic. Each presenter is provided
with about 2 square metres of board space to display their work. They may
also provide handouts with examples or more detailed information. Posters
will remain on display throughout the conference, but a block of time
separate from paper sessions will be assigned when presenters should be
prepared to explain their work and answer questions. Specific times will
also be assigned for software or project demonstrations.

Proposals for posters and demos should be about 750 words long, and should
indicate the type of hardware, if any, that would be required if the
proposal were accepted. These proposals should also include an indication
of the relation of this research to previous and related work.

Poster and Demo proposals are due: January 7, 1999

Format of Submissions

All submissions must be sent electronically, either by email to

                           [log in to unmask]

with the subject line " Submission for ALLCACH99", or through the web at
               http:/www.stg.brown.edu/ach99/submit

Please pay particular attention to the format given below. Submissions
which do not conform to this format may well be returned to the authors for
reformatting, or may not be considered if they arrive very close to the
deadline.

All submissions should begin with the following information:

TYPE OF PROPOSAL: paper, panel session, poster or software demonstration.

TITLE: title of paper, panel session, poster or demo

AUTHOR: name of first author (used for contact purposes)

Bursaries

As part of its commitment to promote the development and application of
appropriate computing in humanities scholarship, the Association for
literary and Linguistic Computing will award up to five bursaries of up to
500 pounds sterling each to students and young scholars who have papers
accepted for presentation at the conference. Applicants must be members of
ALLC. The ALLC will make the awards after the Program Committee have
decided which proposals are to be accepted. Recipients will be notified as
soon as possible thereafter. A participant in a multi-author paper is
eligible for an award, but it must be clear that s/he is contributing
substantially to the paper.

Applications must be made to the conference organizer. The deadline for
receipt of applications is the same as for submission of papers. Full
details of the bursary scheme, and an on-line application form, will be
available from the conference web site.

Other opportunities for the subvention of travel and registration, for
students and for those from developing nations, may become available after
this announcement: please check regularly at the conference web site.

Location

The conference will be held at the University of Virginia, in
Charlottesville, Virginia, a little over one hundred miles south of
Washington D.C., in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. For more
