Call For Papers
CAA Symposium "Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology" at the Digital Heritage International Congress, 28 October - 1 November 2013, Marseille, France http://www.digitalheritage2013.org

Fall 2013 will witness the largest international scientific event ever held centered on digital heritage, with the Digital Heritage Congress 2013. For the first time ever, under the patronage of UNESCO, the leading scientific and industry events from across the digital and heritage spheres will join at one venue. Participating organizations in this federated event include VSMM, Eurographics GCH, UNESCO’s Memory of the World, Arquaeologica2.0., Archeovirtual, CAA, Digital Art Week, CIPA, Space2Place, ICOMOS ICIP, and Museum & Technology. The Congress will bring together hundreds of researchers, educators, scientists, industry professionals, and policy makers to debate, discuss and present digital technology applied to the protection, documentation, and understanding of humanity’s shared heritage.
Organized by French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) , in collaboration with local research institutions of Provence (Aix-Marseille University, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, CICRP, School of Architecture and INRIA), the Congress will be held in Marseille, France, the 2013 European Capital of Culture. The venue will be Marseille’s architecturally stunning new waterfront museum complex.
Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) will host a special symposium that will cover four of the major topic areas normally presented at the annual CAA conferences (http://www.caaconference.org). The organisers of this symposium kindly invite you to submit a paper, focusing on one of the following topics:
1) Spatial Analysis and GIS;
2) Remote Sensing (including aerial photography, geophysics);
3) Data Acquisition and Management (databases, thesauri, gazetteers, etc);
4) Computer and Mathematical Modeling (simulations, agent based modeling, quantitative and statistical methods, etc.).

Submission will soon be possible online:
http://www.digitalheritage2013.org/?page_id=14
Please note that for this conference, there will be a departure from normal CAA practices. After papers are accepted, they must be submitted in complete form prior to the conference.

All paper submissions will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at least 3 referees from the Intl Scientific Committee. Proceedings will be published by IEEE. Selected papers will also have the option of being republished in a number of prestigious journals to be determined, including the ACM Journal on Computers and Cultural Heritage. Note that since this is a joint World Congress, you need to submit only once to be considered for the integrated joint proceedings of all affiliated events.
Important Dates (Slight revisions may be forthcoming so please check the website):
- June 9: deadline for abstract submission
- June 16: Full Papers, Short Papers;
- July 28: notification of acceptance/rejection
- September 15: deadline for submitting final camera ready manuscript of the paper For further information please feel free to contact the CAA Symposium organisers Jeff Clark (Jeffrey.Clark@ndsu.edu) and Axel Posluschny (axel.posluschny@dainst.de) For full details on submission types, requirements, and deadlines, see the Congress website http://www.digitalheritage2013.org.
