The joint conference of the Association for Literary and Linguistic  
Computing and the Association for Computers and the Humanities is the  
oldest established meeting of scholars working at the intersection of  
advanced information technologies and the humanities, annually  
attracting a distinguished international community at the forefront  
of their fields.

Submissions are invited on all topics concerning humanities computing:

     * text analysis, corpora, language processing
     * IT in librarianship and documentation
     * computer-based research in literary, cultural and historical  
studies
     * computing applications for the arts, architecture and music
     * research issues such as
           o information design and modelling
           o the cultural impact of the new media
     * the role of humanities computing in academic curricula

Submissions may be of three types:

    1. Papers. The submission should be of 1500 words maximum. The  
duration of the paper is 20-25 minutes. Submissions are peer-reviewed.
    2. Poster presentations and software demonstrations. This is  
especially suitable for work in progress to be discussed with  
delegates. Poster presentations will be reviewed on the same criteria  
as paper presentations.
    3. Sessions. These can be either 3-paper sessions or panel  
discussions on a chosen topic. Sessions will be peer reviewed on the  
same criteria as paper presentations.

Submissions may be in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian,  
but submissions in languages other than English or French are  
expected to provide an English summary. The firm deadline for  
submissions is November 14, 2006. Presenters will be notified of  
acceptance February 13, 2006. A limited number of bursaries will be  
available for new scholars.
