Call for papers for the CAA2012 proceedings

This is the official call for papers for the CAA2012 proceedings.

The CAA proceedings consist of a printed and an electronic version. The
printed version will contain the 50 papers that were ranked highest by the
CAA Review College, when first submitted, while the e-version will contain
all accepted papers and will be available online, and as downloadable PDF
files.

If your paper is submitted as a long paper, your manuscript should not be
longer than 5,000 words (excluding abstract, key words, figures, tables and
bibliography); if it is submitted as a short paper, the limit is 3,000 words
(again, excluding abstract, key words, figures, tables and bibliography).
You are free to choose which type of paper to submit, irrespective of your
presentation type at CAA2012.

Please note that if you did not present your work at CAA2012, you are not
entitled to submit a paper for the CAA2012 proceedings.

The deadline for submissions is the 25th June 2012 and no extension will be
given.

To find more information regarding time schedule, reviewing process and
formatting please go to the conference management system, where you
can also submit your work. You can log in with the username and password

All the best,

The CAA2012 Editorial Board

CAA Recycle Award Winner 2012

Release. Repurpose. Recycle.

CAA Recycle Award winners are awarded the CAA Recycle logo to display alongside their project.

We are very pleased to announce that the 2012 CAA Recycle Award has been won by Andrew Lowerre (the recycler), and Brian Roberts and Stuart Wrathmell (the originators) for “Recycling Roberts and Wrathmell: Building and Analysing the Atlas of Rural Settlement in England GIS”.

The judges were impressed by the way in which Lowerre’s reworking of the original digital data made it of much greater utility, and how it had been repurposed to allow the original hypotheses to be properly tested using new GIS tools, as well as enabling a whole new range of research questions to be posed. Roberts and Wrathmell, originators of the primary data set, had actively encouraged re-use of the data, and by making it freely available for download in multiple formats and with full documentation the author had facilitated further re-use of the new dataset. We think that this is an excellent example of a national heritage institution (English Heritage) understanding the value of opening up its data for public reuse. The judges were pleased that a large number of downloads had been logged, as well as re-use of the data by a new major funded landscape project.

The judges also decided to commend “Modelling Stonehenge: visualisation, auralisation, apps and films” by Rupert Till, for its imaginative and effective repurposing of photogrammetric data in a study of the acoustic properties of Stonehenge.

This year’s submissions were strong but the jury felt that both these projects not only recycled data in an innovative fashion, but also offered it back to the community, thus perpetuating the research cycle.
