CALL FOR PAPERS: JCDL 2005 ========================== Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) 2005 Digital Libraries: Cyberinfrastructure for Research and Education June 7-11, 2005 Denver, Colorado, USA http://www.jcdl2005.org/
IMPORTANT DATES --------------- January 27, 2005: Full articles, panel, and tutorial proposals due February 10, 2005: Short articles, posters, demonstrations, and proposals for workshops due April 5, 2005: Revision deadline for accepted articles and abstracts
ABOUT JCDL --------------- The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. We welcome researchers and practitioners with broad and diverse interests including: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and education. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of disciplines and professions involved in digital library research and practice, including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, medicine, social sciences, and humanities. All domains - academe, government, industry, and others - are encouraged to participate as presenters or attendees. CONFERENCE THEME: CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION --------------- The theme of JCDL 2005 highlights the powerful role of digital libraries as cyberinfrastructure. This cyberinfrastructure has the potential to engender the creation of new tools, research methodologies, and processes that will enable scientists and learners to investigate the natural world, the social world, and the human-built environment in new and previously unimaginable ways. As global interests in computation, information management, networking, and intelligent sensing converge, the conduct of research and education will be transformed. In addition to the digital library research topics listed above, JCDL 2005 encourages submission of technical articles that illustrate digital libraries as cyberinfrastructure. Examples include (but are not limited to): digital libraries and grid computing; service oriented architectures; case studies illustrating how digital library services can transform the conduct of research or education; the design and development of distributed library services; digital library research for enhancing e-learning and education; and digital library research for enhancing e-science.
