The main goal of the event is not only to illustrate the programs underway but also excellent work wherever it is located and however it is supported, in order to promote a common approach to the tasks of e- documentation of World Cultural Heritage. Furthermore, regional capacities in the area of Cultural Heritage and IT will be facilitated in advancing their know-how through the exchange of information and generation of new ideas and cooperation's, where the world meets the finger prints of several ancient civilizations on earth. To reach this ambitious goal the topics covered will include experiences in the use of innovative recording technologies & methods and how to take best advantage to integrate the results obtained to build up new tools and/or experiences as well as improved methodologies for documenting, managing and communicating CH. The EuroMed2010 joint event will focus on interdisciplinary and multi- disciplinary research concerning both cutting edge Cultural Heritage Informatics and use of technology for the representation, documentation, preservation, archiving and communication of CH knowledge. The scope includes standards, metadata and every phase of CH information technology: initial data capture/digitization, information/data processing, reconstruction, visualization and documentation as well as dissemination of results to the scientific and cultural heritage communities and to the general public (Multilingua, Multimedia Digital Library). We are also interested in aspects of the wider legal, IPR and ethical responsibilities of Cultural Heritage Informatics. Research subjects parallel the interests of CIPA, ISPRS and EuroMed including culturally significant monuments, artefacts and sites as well as the activities of museums, libraries, archives, and organizations involved with their care. Topics: Those researchers who wish to participate in this event are invited to submit papers on original and unpublished work addressing the following subjects: -Digital Data Acquisition Technologies in CH -2D and 3D Data Capture Methodologies and Data Processing in CH -On-site and remotely sensed data collection -2D and 3D GIS in Cultural Heritage -Remote Sensing for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Management & Monitoring -CAD and FEM based Digital Reconstructions and 3D Modeling -Reproduction Techniques and Rapid Prototyping in CH -Visualisation Techniques (desktop, Virtual and Augmented Reality) -Virtual Reality in Archaeology and Historical Research -Multimedia, Multilingua, Data Management and Archiving -Construction and indexing of large scale Multimedia/Multilingual -Encyclopedias in Cultural Heritage -Computer Animation for CH Applications and Virtual Heritage -Game Technologies in Cultural Heritage -Non-Photorealistic Rendering of CH Data -Virtual Museum Applications (e-Museums and e-Exhibitions) -Digital/Virtual Documentation of Archaeological Excavations -Novel Internet-based Cultural Heritage Applications -Portals and Digital Libraries of Culture -Usability, Effectiveness and Interface Design for CH Applications -Innovative Graphics Applications and Techniques -Interactive Environments and Applications -Digital Libraries and e-Archives in Cultural Heritage -National Digital Libraries and Aggregators as cross-domain systems -Long term availability of content and its long term accessibility -Effective IC-Technologies for the creation, management and reuse of content and knowledge -Storytelling and authoring tools - e-Learning in Cultural Heritage -Tools for Education, Documentation and Training in CH -Archaeological Analysis and Interpretive Design -Standards, Metadata, Ontologies and Semantic Processing in Cultural Heritage -Authentication, Accreditation and Digital Rights Management -Legal issues: Water-Marking, Orphan Works, Copyrights and IPR -Professional and Ethical Guidelines -The Economics of Cultural Informatics and Tourism -Natural and Man initiated deconstruction of Cultural Heritage and prevention techniques. -ICT assistance in monitoring and restoration Submission of Papers: Submissions for the joint event are completely electronic, and both the paper and all supplementary material must be submitted through the on-line submission website.
