CALL- The Challenge of Change
This will be the ninth biennial conference to be held in Exeter on Computer
Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Previous conferences have allowed not
only experts in the field, but all interested parties, to meet and discuss
problems and progress in CALL in a relaxed atmosphere. Many of the papers
have been published in Computer Assisted Language Learning. An
International Journal (Swets & Zeitlinger), and bear witness to the weighty
discoveries and research into this important area of modern education. If
we are to work together and share our knowledge, an occasion such as the
next conference provides a wonderful forum for us to do so.
To mark the opening of the Institute for Arab and Islamic Studies, the
conference will host an optional workshop on 'Arabic meeting the challenge
of CALL'.
The estimated cost is 165 (one hundred and sixty-five pounds sterling) for
en-suite accommodation in the Postgraduate Centre or 135 (one hundred and
thirty-five pounds sterling) for standard accommodation in Mardon Hall.
Both the Postgraduate Centre and Mardon Hall are centrally situated on the
University campus, and the prices include full board, the Conference fee
and a copy of the Proceedings - 100 pounds is the charge for
non-residents.
Proposals (c.100-150 words) are invited by February 1 2001 for papers (25
mins) on any aspect of research in CALL which fits into the general theme
of 'CALL - The Challenge of Change'.

CALL FOR PAPERS: DRH2001
The DRH conferences
The annual Digital Resources for the Humanities conference is the major
forum for all those involved in, and affected by, the digitization of our
cultural heritage: the scholar creating or using an electronic resource to
further research; the teacher gathering Web resources into an online
learning environment; the publisher or broadcaster integrating print or
analogue with the digital to reach new audiences; the librarian, curator
or archivist wishing to improve both access to and conservation of the
digital information that characterizes contemporary culture and
scholarship; the computer or information scientist seeking to apply new
developments to the creation, exploitation and management of humanities
resources. A volume of select papers from the conferences is published
annually.
DRH 2001
DRH 2001 will be held at the School of Oriental and African Studies,
University of London, Malet Street, London WC1 from 8-10 July 2001.
Format
The academic programme of the conference will comprise academic papers,
panel discussions, and poster presentations. An exhibition of products and
services of interest to participants will form an important part of the
conference. The conference is known for its friendly atmosphere and
welcomes developers and users of digital resources from, amongst others,
universities, libraries, archives, museums, galleries, broadcasters,
publishers and community groups. The conference social programme will, we
hope, encourage informal discussion and the chance to make lasting
contacts between members of the different groups represented.
Themes
The Conference Programme Committee seeks proposals for papers, panel
sessions and posters relating to the creation and use of digital resources
in all aspects of work in the humanities. Prospective speakers are asked
to bear in mind the following points: - Paper and session proposals should
seek to develop themes and intellectual approaches which will be of
interest and relevance across the subject domain; it is not sufficient
simply to outline recent work on an individual project. Papers should take
account of, and seek to address, strategic themes across the subject
domain. Preference will be given to papers which outline innovative
technical approaches or explore subject areas which have been generally
neglected by the humanities computing community. Areas on which DRH
conferences have particularly concentrated in the past have included the
creation of digital resources, providing access to digital projects, and
digital preservation. The Conference Programme Committee from DRH 2001
will particularly also welcome proposals which relate to the following
themes:
Visualisation of data: the use of graphical interfaces, GIS and other
techniques for the exploration of data sets. What are the major issues for
the use of these technologies by humanities scholars? What new insights do
they offer for those working in the humanities?
A managed digital environment: How far and in what ways do the initiatives
to knit together, coordinate and develop existing initiatives for the
creation of digital resources address the needs of humanities researchers?
What shape should the future digital humanities environment be? How can
digital initiatives be used to create new communities and to support
initiatives to consolidate such communities (as, for example, in the use
of digital technologies in support of an e-Europe)?
Diversity and multi-culturalism: How can the creation and dissemination of
digital resources in the humanities help to underpin and further a
multi-cultural society? What are the major issues in creating and
accessing digital resources for different groups in society? What
technical issues affect the use of digital resources to further a policy
of social inclusiveness? How can network technologies be used to support
community programmes?
World Wide access: How can the development of humanities digital resources
support the creation of genuinely international access to the new
e-culture? How can digital technologies suport the work of humanities
scholars working on subjects connected with Asia and Africa?
Convergence: How will the anticipated convergence between televisual,
comunication and computing media affect research in the humanities? What
new opportunities does it offer?
Submitting Proposals
The deadline for submitting proposals is 10 February 2001 and
notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 30 March 2001. Please note
that all participants in the conference, including speakers, are expected
to pay their own conference and accommodation costs. We hope, however, to
offer a limited number of bursaries covering the conference fee for
certain categories of participant. All proposals will be reviewed by at
least two referees with relevant expertise. The final decision on
acceptance into the conference programme rests with the Programme
Committee.
For all type of proposal, authors are encouraged to provide a clear
overview of the work to be presented; state how the proposal relates to
the themes of the conference; outline any original or innovative methods,
technical solutions or conclusions; outline the demonstrable value of the
work to the broad humanities community. All proposals should be submitted
in English. All proposals should include full name, institutional
affiliation, postal address, telephone, fax and e-mail details for all
participants. All abstracts will be printed in the conference book of
abstracts.
Papers: We invite proposals for conference papers lasting no more than 20
minutes. Proposals should be between 750 and 1,000 words. Papers will be
grouped into sessions of three papers. You are welcome to propose a
session of three papers relating to a specific theme. In this case,
session organisers should provide a clear description (c.250 words) of how
the papers relate to each other, in addition to the three abstracts.
Please note that all proposals for papers, whether individual submissions
or part of a themed session, will be independently reviewed.
Themed Panel Sessions: We invite proposals for themed panel sessions
lasting no more than 90 minutes. Proposals should be between 1,000-1,500
words. The panel organiser should include details of the individuals or
organisations who have agreed to form the panel. Panel sessions are
intended to provide a forum for discussion of a specific theme or issue,
introduced by panel members.
Posters: We invite proposals for posters. Proposals should be between 750
and 1,000 words. Posters provide the opportunity for a visual, rather than
oral, presentation of work within an informal atmosphere. Posters will be
on display throughout the conference in a prominent area. Posters should
not include software demonstrations. Where a software demonstration is
required, the proposer should apply to be an exhibitor at the academic
rate.
Conference Publications: A book of abstracts, containing the revised
versions of all accepted papers, panel sessions and posters, will be
provided to all conference delegates. These abstracts will also be
published on the conference web site. A volume of Selected Papers will be
published following the conference. Everyone who presents a paper at the
conference will be invited to submit a full version of their paper for
consideration for the publication.
Organisation: The Programme Committee, which has responsibility for the
academic programme of the conference, is chaired by Professor Andrew
Prescott of the Humanities Research Institute, University of Sheffield. A
list of the programme committee will shortly be posted on the DRH website
(www.drh.org.uk).
Call for hosts for DRH 2003
The DRH Standing Committee warmly invites proposals to host the DRH
conference in 2003 Prospective applicants should refer to the conference
Protocol and to other information on the DRH web site. Colleagues wishing
to host the conference should write in the first instance to the Chair of
the Standing Committee, Dr Marilyn Deegan, at marilyn.deegan@qeh.ox.ac.uk.
AHC Strand
The 1999 DRH conference, at King's College London, was held in conjunction
with the annual conference of the Association for History and Computing
(UK). DRH 2001 will follow this very successful experience by including a
substantial AHC strand of sessions, lasting for at least one day. The AHC
strand will represent a conference within a conference, in which AHC
members will have an opportunity to give and to hear papers on historical
computing, while benefiting from cross-fertilisation with other humanists
with similar interests. Proposals for papers in the AHC strand will be
sent to the AHC (UK) committee, who will arrange for them to be refereed.
The AHC's aims are to promote and develop interest in the use of computers
in all types of historical study at every level, in both teaching and
research. Recent years have seen the Association move from its
traditional emphasis upon quantitative methods and database management to
greater concern with such issues as digitisation, Web-based publication,
teaching and learning with digital resources, and improving access to
digital resources and archival holdings. The AHC invites papers on these
and other aspects of the application of computers, whether for research,
teaching or archives. In line with the rest of the DRH conference,
African and oriental topics are particularly welcome, but papers may be
submitted on any historical topic.

IMPLICATIONS FOR PHILOSOPHY OF ARGUMENTATION MAPPING AND VISUAL LANGUAGE
Robert E. Horn, Visiting Scholar at the Program on People, Computers, and
Design of the Center for the Study of Language and Information, Stanford
University, will be the opening speaker at the Computers and Philosophy
Conference at Oregon State University, Corvalis, Oregon
DATE AND TIME

ABSTRACT
In this talk I will explore five areas which come together in the recent
series of argumentation maps our project at Stanford has been creating --
Mapping Great Debates: Can Computers Think? These five areas are (1)
visual language, which is emerging as a new international auxiliary
language, consisting of the tight integration of words, images, and shapes
(and described in my book, Visual Language) (2) argumentation mapping, a
new diagraming technique for mapping debates, that gives us considerable
new capacity to analyze complex ideas (and the focus of our project at
Stanford); (3) information design and knowledge management, two new
disciplines, that are creating the foundations for the next stage of the
world wide web; (4) computers which are the subject matter as well as the
tool used in our project about artificial intelligence and cognitive
science; and (5) how all these new tools, ideas and languages can affect
philosophy, a study of much that is important about our lives. Among the
other topics I will address are the display of complex ideas, the creation
of novel approaches to navigation and access; why paragraphs are an
outdated unit of composition and thinking and what to do to replace
them. Finally, I will suggest that the congruence of all these ideas
suggests a new approach to the ethics of knowledge sharing, which I take to
be what the university is all about.
BIOGRAPHY
For the past few years, Robert E. Horn has been a Visiting Scholar in the
Program on People, Computers, and Design at The Center for the Study of
Language and Information, Stanford University. He is the author of the
recently published book Visual Language: Global Communication for the 21st
Century . He is project director of the recently released Mapping Great
Debates project, (publisher: www.macrovu.com) and especially proud these
days that these argumentation maps have received a full-page review in the
journal Nature as well as been hung in a recent fine arts exhibit at the
Stroom Center for the Visual Arts in The Hague and at the Coventry School
of Art and Design. His book about structuring information, Mapping
Hypertext, (distributor: www.infomap.com) has become a classic source of
ideas for web site design. He has been the CEO of an international
consulting company that he founded (Information Mapping, Inc.) and has
taught graduate courses at Harvard and Columbia Universities.
