Wilhelm Ott, creator of TUSTEP, long-time director of the Computing
Center of the University of Tuebingen, and host of 90 seminars over
several decades in the Kolloquium uber die Anwendung der

DH2007 is the same conference that has been meeting annually since
the late 1980s, as a joint effort of the Association for Computers
and the Humanities and the Association for Literary and Linguistic
Computing. This year, the conference will be held at the University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, hosted by the Graduate School of
Library and Information Science with support from the National Center
for Supercomputing Applications and the Center for Computing in
Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences.
