Call for Papers for the Special Session on eHumanities Research of the 
IEEE Conference on Digital Ecosystems

Digital ecosystems occur through the interactions between both human and 
computer-based agents. As such Digital Ecosystems are an important 
research topic in the humanities, notably sociology and philosophy. 
Analysis of the role of human perception, engagement and expectation 
helps to understanding digital ecosystems as well as the operational 
dynamics of any specific system.

In turn the humanities themselves increasingly rely on digital 
ecosystems for their own research. In this viewpoint we study 
distributed service and resource environments for the humanities, e.g. 
service and resource networks, SOAs or grids that allow seamless 
integration on both the tool and the resource side. This includes 
research on how the humanities landscape is reshaped through Digital 
Ecosystems. We solicit research and best practice papers on both facets 
of eHumanities.

Submissions will undergo a rigorous review and accepted papers will be 
published in the IEEE Digital Library.
The special session is complemented by two tutorials on "Data ecosystems 
- Repositories in Digital Ecosystems" and "TextGrid", the leading German 
Digital Ecosystem in the humanities.
