Arts and Humanities e-Science Projects Meeting

This will be the second meeting of the recently funded Arts and Humanities e-Science projects and related VRE and European ones.

Projects cover a wide range of subjects in both the arts and the humanities, from dance and music to museum studies, archaeology, classics and Byzantine history, and a wide range of e-Science technologies. A central feature of all is the substantial involvement of computer scientists alongside arts and humanities researchers. By developing new and advanced methods in areas such as the image-processing of ancient manuscripts, choreography in virtual space, the computer simulation of a famous medieval battle, and the use of 3-D scanning to analyze the surfaces of museum objects, the scheme will not only open up new avenues in arts and humanities research, but will also test and extend the present range of e-Science technologies, and thus ultimately enhance their use in other domains as well.
