Call for Presentations

CaSTA 2005 -- Canadian Symposium on Text Analysis
Digital Technologies: Tools, Methods, Solutions
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
October 3-7, 2005

http://tapor.ualberta.ca/CASTA2005

The fourth annual CaSTA Symposium will be held at the University of Alberta
October 3rd through 7th, 2005. The event will:

- bring together scholars from diverse disciplines, whose work shares
common approaches in text encoding, knowledge management, and digital
approaches to scholarly communication

- be a forum for discussion of best practices, and sharing of
insights, tools and approaches in these fields

- provide hands-on, practical workshop and discussion activities for
scholars considering or underway with projects of this type

To achieve these goals, we are running a series of discipline-specific
workshops, seminars, and forums during the week. Invited experts will
conduct workshops, lead seminars, and provide personal consultation on
scholarly projects which use text encoding and text transformation
technologies.

Workshop 08:30 10:00

This is a Call for Presentations for graduate students working in one for
these disciplines (or related areas):

          - linguistics
          - anthropology
          - information science
          - digital editing
          - scholarly editions on the web

Suitable subjects for presentations include (but are not strictly limited
  to):

- text encoding, hypertext, text corpora, natural language processing,
linguistics, translation studies, literary studies, text analysis,
digital editions

- information design in the humanities, including visualization,
simulation, and modelling

Formats
The presentations may be in either one of these formats:

Poster
A poster taking up no more than 6' x 4' (2m x 1.2m).

Demonstration
A demonstration of a computer-based research approach, software program, or
website.

A scheduled block of time will allocated each day for poster
presentations; presenters will have an opportunity to discuss their work
with colleagues and answer questions. The posters will remain on display
throughout the conference, if the presenter wishes it. The software
demonstrations will also be scheduled for a specific time period each
day; the presenter will have about 15 minutes to make their
presentation, with an additional 10 minutes for questions and comment.

Submissions will be refereed.

Participating graduate students will have the opportunity to sign up for
workshops, symposia, personal consultations and forums with invited experts
from a number of fields.

How to submit a proposal

Prepare a short abstract (about 350 - 500 words) which describes your
research proposal. Please make clear how your research uses or addresses
issues relating to text encoding, knowledge management, or digital
approaches in the humanities.

Please send your proposal to:
          CASTA2005_at_mail.arts.ualberta.ca

In addition to the abstract, please indicate your technical requirements
(if you are proposing a software demonstration): are you bringing your
