CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of _Computers and the Humanities_
on
Computer Programming for the Humanities
Guest Editor
Eric Johnson <JohnsonE@columbia.dsu.edu>
TOPICS: Submissions of articles are invited that focus on any
aspect of computer programming for the humanities -- including
articles on topics such as the following:
Programming methodologies and software design principles
used to create computer programs in the humanities;
In particular, description of facets of humanities
programming which distinguish it from other kinds of
programming;
An overview (or projection of the future) of programming for
the humanities using
C and C++
Icon
Pascal
Perl
SNOBOL4 and SPITBOL
other computer languages
Descriptions of actual programming experiences (recently
finished or in progress) which raise significant questions
and problems.
Description of a specific programming application (or a type
of application) for the humanities -- including the visual
arts, drama, history, and music as well as literature and
linguistics.
In addition to technical papers, general discussion or opinion
papers are invited on topics that grapple with questions such as
the following:
Do humanists who create computer programs do so in ways
different from computer scientists? Do they more (or less)
readily grasp an overview of a computing problem and see the
general framework of a solution? Do they write computer
code differently? Do they prefer particular computer
languages?
Occasionally those with humanities educations and solid
academic positions in the humanities assume positions
normally held only by those with degrees in computer
science. How is that possible? Do those with educations in
computer science ever assume positions in the humanities?
LENGTH: Articles of any length will be considered. It is
expected that articles will range from 2,500 to 12,000 words --
except for opinion articles or overview articles which might be
shorter.
FORMAT: Submissions should begin with the following information:
Title of paper
Name of author(s)
Affiliation of author(s) including email address
List of up to 10 key words
Abstract of article
followed by the text of the paper with a blank line between
paragraphs.
All notes should be collected at the end of the paper under the
heading of "Notes." A section titled "References" or "Works
Cited" (if needed) is the last part of the paper.
SUBMISSION: All submissions should be via electronic media --
email and FTP are strongly encouraged. Articles that can be
saved as ASCII files (with line breaks and lines no longer than
80 characters) should be sent via email to the guest editor, Eric
Johnson, at
JohnsonE@columbia.dsu.edu
The guest editor should be contacted via email at the above
address about arrangements to transmit articles containing
special characters or graphics that cannot be saved as ASCII
files.
DEADLINE: February 1, 1996
Writers are encouraged to contact the guest editor to ask
questions or to express interest in contributing to the special
issue prior to emailing submissions.

Subject:workshop on Discourse Functions and Representation
First announcement of the workshop:
LOCAL AND GLOBAL PHENOMENA IN DISCOURSE:
THE `DANDELION' APPROACH
----------------------------------------
15th-16th December 1995
IPSI - Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute
GMD - German National Research Center for Information Technology
Dolivostr. 15, DARMSTADT, GERMANY
---------------------------------------
The ESPRIT Basic Research Action DANDELION (Discourse Functions and
Discourse Representations: An Empirically and Linguistically Motivated
Interdisciplinarily-Oriented Approach to Natural Language Texts) will
be holding its final project workshop and review to mark the end of
the project.
DANDELION has developed theories of a number of phenomena in discourse
including coherence relations, information structuring, thematic
development, causal and contrastive connectives, aspect and text
structure, and discourse functions of NP types. In parallel, it has
produced and enhanced computational resources for the investigation
and development of discourse theories.
Presentations at the workshop will reflect the project's diversity and
its attempts to find syntheses of current theoretical positions.
Computational resources will be demonstrated.
For further information and for registering interest in attending the
workshop, please contact: either Ute Kischel (e-mail:
kischel@darmstadt.gmd.de, tel.: +49/6151-869-811; fax.:
+49/6151-869-818) or Klaas Jan Rondhuis (rondhuis@darmstadt.gmd.de).
Accomodation will be in local hotels near to the institute in
Darmstadt and should be organized by participants directly. A list of
available hotels, their locations, and prices will be faxed on
request.
The detailed programme for the workshop will be circulated in the next
couple of weeks.
