CFP (Conference): SIGSPATIAL 2023, Geohumanities Workshop (Proposals due 09/15/23)

The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Humanities invites submissions for papers that explore spatial technologies in humanities research. The aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners from computer science, geographical information sciences, and the humanities who are interested in novel combinations of spatial methods and technologies with humanistic documents. The workshop is scheduled for November 13, 2023 in Hamburg, Germany. Proposals are due by September 15, 2023.

Proposals are due by September 15, 2023. The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Humanities is scheduled for November 13, 2023.

The workshop invites contributions on the following topics, as well as other research related to the Spatial Humanities:

    • Gazetteer development (e.g., models, data conflation, semantic technologies, etc.)
    • Ontologies and linked data for modeling geohistorical data
    • Historical and literary geographical information systems
    • Spatio-temporal network analysis in the humanities
    • Text geo-parsing and other NLP techniques for geographical text analysis
    • Deep learning techniques for the spatial humanities
    • Novel approaches for the analysis of vague and imaginary place
    • Spatial simulation in the humanities (e.g., cellular automata and agent-based models)
    • Spatial and spatio-temporal analysis of humanities data
    • Visualization and cartographic representations
    • Handling vague and imprecise historical spatio-temporal data
    • Creating new spatial datasets from historical materials (maps, aerial photography, postal or other directories, newspapers, etc.) using state-of-the art methods
    • Novel approaches for tthe analysis of humanistic spatial data at scale
    • Applications of the aforementioned techniques
