*IEEE Big Data 2018 Conference to include Computational Archival Science
Workshop—call for papers issuedThe organizers of the Computational Archival
Science (CAS) Workshop at IEEE Big Data 2018
<http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2018/> have issued a formal call for
papers. This is the 3rd workshop at IEEE Big Data addressing CAS, following
on from workshops in 2016 and 2017. All papers accepted for workshop will
be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer
Society Press, made available at the conference, which takes place Dec. 10
– 13, 2018 in Seattle, USA. Program chairs of the Computational Archival
Science (CAS) Workshop include: Prof. Victoria Lemieux of the University of
British Columbia iSchool <https://slais.ubc.ca/>; Prof. Richard Marciano of
the Digital Curation Innovation Center (DCIC) at the University of Maryland
iSchool <https://ischool.umd.edu/>; and Dr. Mark Hedges of King’s College
London. “This workshop will explore the conjunction (and its consequences)
of emerging methods and technologies around big data with archival practice
and new forms of analysis and historical, social, scientific, and cultural
research engagement with archives,” says the workshop CFP
<http://dcicblog.umd.edu/cas/ieee-big-data-2018-3rd-cas-workshop/>. “We aim
to identify and evaluate current trends, requirements, and potential in
these areas, to examine the new questions that they can provoke, and to
help determine possible research agendas for the evolution of computational
archival science in the coming years. At the same time, we will address the
questions and concerns scholarship is raising about the interpretation of
‘big data’ and the uses to which it is put, in particular appraising the
challenges of producing quality – meaning, knowledge and value – from
quantity, tracing data and analytic provenance across complex ‘big data’
platforms and knowledge production ecosystems, and addressing data privacy
issues.”Important dates: - Oct 8, 2018: Due date for full workshop papers
