9th CAS Workshop in Washington D.C. in Dec. 2024

Computational Archival Science (CAS) Workshop #9 at IEEE Big Data 2024 (Washington DC) - call for papers

Important dates:

• Nov. 4, 2024: Due date for full workshop papers submission

• Nov. 15, 2024: Notification of paper acceptance to authors

• Nov. 20, 2024: Camera-ready version of accepted papers

• Dec. 15–18, 2024: Workshop [exact date TBD]

The organizers of the Computational Archival Science (CAS) Workshop at IEEE Big Data 2024 have issued a formal call for papers. This is the 8th workshop at IEEE Big Data addressing Computational Archival Science, following on from workshops in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. All papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

This day-long workshop will explore the conjunction (and its consequences) of emerging methods and technologies around big data and AI with archival practice and new forms of analysis and historical, social, scientific, and cultural research engagement with archives. 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.
