The Digital Medievalist Community of Practice

Please send inquiries and abstracts for 20-minute presentations to
Peter Robinson at [email protected]. Abstracts must be attached

http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#PIF.

Proposals must be submitted by September 15, 2009.

Paper session: The state of the art in handwriting recognition and
analysis for medieval documents

Much work has been done towards automated analysis of handwritten
documents, with a focus on handwriting recognition, in the last years,
and some of the developments seen in OCR and layout recognition
systems may be applicable to medieval studies. Further, the
increasing interest in sophisticated linkages of text and image might
be enhanced by developments in handwriting recognition and analysis.
We welcome papers which report on work done or ongoing in these areas,
or which seek to establish methodologies.

Paper session: Collaborative tools and environments for medieval scholarship

Many groups around the world are working to develop a new generation
of collaborative tools and research environments, with potential wide
applicability to medieval studies. This leads to questions about the
nature of collaboration itself, and about useful models of
collaboration. Reports form the coal face on collaborations which
have, or have not, worked are welcome, as are demonstrations of tools
and ruminations on the many faces of collaboration.

Again, please send inquiries and abstracts for 20-minute presentations
to Peter Robinson at [email protected]. Abstracts must be
attached to a Participant Information Form, available in both MS Word
and PDF formats from the Congress website:
