ELPUB 2006: Digital Spectrum: Integrating Technology and Culture
10th International Conference on Electronic Publishing
14 to 16 June 2006, Bansko (Bulgaria)
http://www.elpub.net <elpub2006@elpub.net>
*** Deadlines for submission in all categories: November 21st 2005 ***
The ELPUB 2006 conference will keep the tradition of the nine previous
international conferences on electronic publishing, held in the United
Kingdom (in 1997 and 2001), Hungary (1998), Sweden (1999), Russia
(2000), the Czech Republic (2002), Portugal (2003), Brazil (2004) and
Belgium(2005), which is to bring together researchers, lecturers,
librarians, developers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, managers, users
and all those interested on issues regarding electronic publishing in
widely differing contexts. These include the human, cultural,
economic, social, technological, legal, commercial and other relevant
aspects that such an exciting theme encompasses.
Three distinguished features of this conference are: broad scope of
topics which creates a unique atmosphere of active exchange and
learning about various aspects of electronic publishing; combination
of general and technical tracks; and a condensed procedure of
submission, revision and publication of proceedings which guarantees
presentations of most recent work.
ELPUB 2006 offers a variety of activities, such as workshops,
tutorials, panel debates etc. Thus, the conference attendees will
benefit from:
- The communication of scientific papers specially
prepared for the conference;
all papers are to be reviewed and accepted by the
international ELPUB Programme Committee;
- Workshops and tutorials that aim to provide
opportunity for attendants to update themselves in
topics of high interest within this community of experts;
- Plenary sessions that aim to summarise the main ideas
presented and discussed
during the presentation of the conference papers;
- Panel debates on selected topics; possible topics
include news item publishing
or new methods, including Open Access, for publishing
scientific literature;
- Demonstration sessions and presentation of posters.
