Archaeological data, and more in general cultural heritage information, are characterized by both spatial and temporal dimensions that are often related to each other and are of particular interest for supporting the interpretation process that allows achieving new knowledge about ancient times.
For this reason, several research works proposed attempts to develop new information management techniques, some of them inherit directly from geographical information science. However, cultural heritage and archaeology still require a tailored support to:
- the collection of spatio-temporal data and their effective representation for enhancing interoperability, especially with the rise of 3D acquisition techniques that involves big data characteristics;
- the processing of raw data in order to identify artifacts and define their allocation in space and time, in relation with ontological developments;
- the reconstruction of ancient structures (buildings, walls, castle, etc.) or their temporal evolution, based on deep learning process allowing automatic reconstruction, segmentation, complex objects identification;
- the integrated access and querying of the collected data in different formats, structures, data models
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researches of the fields of spatial information science, knowledge representation, knowledge discovery to share their research results in order to draw the new incoming challenges in terms of archeological and cultural heritage spatial information management applications.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions of high quality papers describing research results or on-going work are solicited. Submitted papers should contain original, previously unpublished content, should be written in English, and must not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in the proceedings, which will be published together with the GIScience proceedings in LIPIcs, the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics series (https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics). Acceptance of a paper is contingent on one author presenting the paper at the workshop.
Contribution length should range between 15 pages (including tables, figures, and references). All papers should follow the sample article provided by LIPIcs (http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics-v2016/lipics-v2016-authors.tgz). LIPIcs also provides a LaTeX class and template for papers.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coarch18.
