VAST 2004
The 5th International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and
Cultural Heritage.
* Incorporating: Second Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural
Heritage (http://www.eg.orgwww.eg.org)
This year's VAST Symposium will be dedicated to the theme:
Interdisciplinarity or "The Best of Both Worlds":
The Grand Challenge for Cultural Heritage Informatics in the 21st Century
Following the discussions of previous VAST Symposia and the first
Eurographics Symposium on Graphics and Cultural Heritage, the 2004 VAST
Symposium will focus on the interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary
research interests including those of monuments, sites and museums as
manifest in the EPOCH Network, covering every phase of the cultural
heritage informatics, from initial data capture to information processing,
and the dissemination of results to the scientific community and the
general public. In addition, the wider legal and ethical responsibilities
of Cultural Informatics (set out in the draft ICOMOS-Ename Charter) will be
discussed.
Researchers in this field who are interested in participating in this
Symposium are invited to submit papers on original work addressing on the
following subjects or related themes:
* Data Capture and Processing
* Data Management
* Standards and Documentation
* Innovative Graphics Applications and Techniques
* Digital Reconstructions and Visualisation
* Archaeological Analysis and Interpretive Design
* Interactive Environments and applications
* The Economics of Cultural Informatics and Tourism
* Story-telling and design of heritage communications
* Novel internet applications in heritage
* Usability, effectiveness and interface design for heritage
applications
* Cultural Informatics Education and Training
* Professional and Ethical Guidelines
Two types of presentations will be included in the symposium -
presentations of full research papers, which will be refereed and included
in a high-quality proceedings volume to be published by Eurographics, and
presentations of work-in-progress which may be presented in shorter
sessions and will be separately identified when published. Both types of
submission will be reviewed and feedback given to the authors.
In addition we expect to have space available for live showcases. If you
have a system which you wish to be included in the showcase area, please
email mailto:vast2004@enamecenter.orgvast2004@enamecenter.org.
