- 4-6 July 2011: Main conference
You are cordially invited to participate in the 13th International Conference on Informatics and Semiotics in Organisations, (ICISO 2011), previously called International Conference on Organisational Semiotics (ICOS). This is the thirteenth in a series of international events devoted to the latest research in informatics in organisations and organisational semiotics.
Conference Scope and Theme
The objective of the theme and field of Computational Humanities is the application of computational science and information management to problems that form the core of the humanities. Humanities focuses on communication acts of the human mind and aesthetic value of these, including language, music, art, literature, history, archaeology, and religion. Computational Humanities forms the bridge between the humanities and computational and information sciences. This emergent field of research remains an unexplored territory. To shape the field, the activities of capture (digitisation), data management and data analysis need to be performed. Prerequisite for performing these activities is that four topics are addressed:
· Pattern detection and recognition
· Modelling and formalisation,
· Semantics, interpretation and signification; and
· Data handling.
Venue
ICISO 2011 takes place at the Frysian Academy (KNAW) in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, only two and a half hour train ride from The Netherlands’ main airport Schiphol.
Research papers describing original work in relevant areas are invited. Industrial and work-in-progress papers are also welcome.
