CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Computational History and Data-Driven Humanities: http://tinyurl.com/jx5nsmk
This workshop is an IFIP Joint Event supported by the IFIP Working Group 12.7 on Social Semantics and Collective Intelligence: http://tinyurl.com/zazfg7y
Scope:
This workshop focuses on the challenges and opportunities of data-driven humanities and seeks to bring together world-leading scientists and scholars at the forefront of this emerging field, at the interface between computer science, social science, humanities and mathematics.
What are the impacts for humanities, social sciences, computer science and complex systems? Perhaps mathematical analysis of the dynamic, evolutionary patterns observed in the data helps us to better understand the past and can even produce empirically-grounded predictions about the future.
We seek
* digital humanities experts and computer scientists to introduce technologies and tools they have applied in order to extract knowledge from historical records in a form that can be processed by computers without losing its meaningfulness.
* scientists working at the forefront of mathematical and theoretical analysis of historical data, to describe what is possible with current tools.
* Keynote speaker:
Prof. Harvey Whitehouse, University of Oxford, UK - Understanding Social Complexity through Data
Full Paper submission due: 31 March 2016
