The Austrian National Library, the Vienna University of Technology and
Austrian Computer Society are pleased to invite you to the International
Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects (iPRES2010) in Vienna in
September 2010. iPRES2010 will be the seventh in the series of annual
international conferences that bring together researchers and
practitioners from around the world to explore the latest trends,
innovations, and practices in preserving our digital heritage.
Digital Preservation and Curation is evolving from a niche activity to
an established practice and research field that involves various
disciplines and communities. iPRES2010 will re-emphasise that preserving
our scientific and cultural digital heritage requires integration of
activities and research across institutional and disciplinary boundaries
to adequately address the challenges in digital preservation. iPRES2010
will further strengthen the link between digital preservation research
and practitioners in memory institutions and scientific data centres.
PROGRAMME:
iPRES2010 will feature an intensive 1-week program, starting with a set
of tutorials on Sunday. This will be followed by 3 days of the main
conference Monday - Wednesday including panel sessions, poster sessions
and spotlight talks. Between Wednesday and Friday a number of focussed
workshops will take place. All this will be accompanied by a social
programme offering ample room for discussion and deliberation.
The list of accepted papers, a summary conference agenda, pre-conference
tutorials and post-conference workshops are listed on the website
(http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dp/ipres2010) along with registration
