Subject:Multilingual Computing Conference

The Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC) and the  
Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) hereby announce  
their 2004 joint conference to be held in Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden

Computing and Multilingual, Multicultural Heritage

16th Joint Annual Conference of ALLC and ACH
June 11-16, 2004, Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden

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

The 2004 conference has two aims. First, we invite papers and  
contributions in all areas related to humanities computing and the  
application of advanced information technologies in humanities  
subjects, including linguistics, literature, cultural and historical  
studies, translation studies, media studies and digital collections.  
Papers on research and on teaching are both of interest.  Papers may  
report on new theoretical and methodological advances in any relevant  
field. Second, within this context, the conference is expected to  
address the increased challenges of multilingualism, an issue  
manifested by the further enlargement of Europe and the process of  
integration of nations world wide. We thus also encourage papers  
related to the linguistic and cultural issues of multilingual  
communities.

It is clear that specialists in humanities computing can help achieve  
these aims through individual scientific and educational tasks and  
joint projects, as well as by making available their research base  
through educational and electronic library resources. We believe that  
responding to these new challenges will also have a fertilizing effect  
on humanities computing as a whole by opening up new ways and  
methodologies to enhance the use of computers and computation in a wide  
range of humanities disciplines.

The Call for Papers for the 2004 Joint ALLC/ACH Conference will be  
published in June 2003. We welcome presentations in English, French,  
German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.

Further information on the research and educational activities as well  
as on past conferences of the two associations can be found at  
www.allc.org (ALLC) and www.ach.org (ACH).  For an overview of the  
range of topics covered by humanities computing please refer to the  
journals of the Associations, Literary and Linguistic Computing  
(www.oup.co.uk) and Computers and the Humanities (www.kluweronline.com).
