It is our pleasure to announce that the Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) Annual Conference and Joint Meetings 2013 will take place at Clock Tower Centennial Hall, Kyoto University. The PNC Joint Meetings will start from December 9th to December 14th; the 3-day PNC Conference will start from December 10th to December 12th. All Joint Meetings will be open to the registered PNC participants.
The activity is hosted by Center for Integrated Area Studies, Kyoto University (CIAS), Information Processing Society of Japan-Special Interest Group of Computers and the Humanities (IPSJ SIG-CH), PNC, and co-hosted by National Institutes for Humanities (NIHU), Japan.
In today's society, in which problems of global resource circulation, personnel interchanges, environmental changes, and large-scale disasters have become increasingly diverse and complex, the knowledge we apply in solving these problems is also diverse and complex. To cultivate a wealthy society, environment, and culture by resolving these global issues, our fragmented knowledge needs to be reorganized in the context of contemporary human activities and dynamics within and among areas.
Simultaneously, research into knowledge processing, such as ontology, the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data (LOD) has become very active in information domains to organize human knowledge. The outcomes from the information domains, in turn, affect domains of the humanities and create new research paradigms such as historical informatics and area informatics. These trends further involve natural sciences dealing with pressing issues of the environment, health, and disasters, and push them to reconstruct new knowledge across academic domains.
In light of these trends, this yearˇ¦s conference will encourage participants to explore the following topics of interest and discover relationships between them. The proposed topics include:
- Humanities Computing and Digital Humanities:
- 1.1 Archeology
- 1.2 History
- 1.3 Philosophy
- 1.4 Linguistics
- 1.5 Area Studies
- 1.6 Disaster Management
