Call for Papers

The International Conference on Culture and Computing
(Culture and Computing 2013)

Date: September 16-18, 2013
Venue: Nakagawa Hall, Suzaku Campus, Ritsumeikan University, 
Kyoto, Japan
http://www.media.ritsumei.ac.jp/culture2013/

Culture and Computing is a new research area which aims to 
overcome different cultural issues in international communities 
using information and communication technologies (ICT). There 
are various research directions in the relations between 
culture and computing: 
to archive cultural heritages via ICT (cf. digital archives), 
to empower humanities researches via ICT (cf. digital 
humanities), to create art and expressions via ICT (cf. media
art), to realize a culturally situated agent (cf. cultural
agent), to support multi-language, multi-cultural societies
via ICT (cf. intercultural collaboration), 
and to understand new cultures born in the Internet and Web 
(cf. net culture).

The International Conference on Culture and Computing provides 
an opportunity to share research issues and discuss the future 
of culture and computing, which has been held in cultural 
cities including Kyoto, Japan (2010, 2011) and Hangzhou, China 
(2012). The fourth conference (Culture and Computing 2013) will 
be back to Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan, organized with 
an exhibition on the integration of state of the art cultural 
computing technologies and Japanese traditional culture, along 
with a number of co-located events. To understand the 
proceedings at the previous conferences, please visit below.

Papers are solicited on any aspect on the intersection of 
culture and computing, but all papers are expected to be 
suitable for a multidisciplinary audience. We have Main Track 
and Special Track sessions. The Main Track will present a 
collection of academic research results. Examples of suitable 
paper topics for the Main Track include:

- Archiving cultural heritages
- Information environments for humanity studies
- Art and design by information technologies
- Digital storytelling
- Intercultural communication and collaboration
- Culturally situated agents and simulations
- Game and culture
- Analysis of new culture in the Internet and Web
- Culture and brain science
- VR (virtual reality) application for culture
- Digital libraries for cultural materials
- Sound archiving of intangible cultural properties

The Special Tracks are collections of short papers, and are 
organized for the purpose of encouraging discussions in hot 
areas. We have Special Tracks for "Digital Humanities" and 
"Culture based Media Art & Music" at this conference. Please
