Dear Sirs,

 

We are delighted to announce that the 2011 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) Annual Conference and Joint Meetings will be held at the Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration of Chulalongkorn University from October 19 to 21 in collaboration with Hydro and Agro Informatics Institute (HAII) and National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), Thailand. On behalf of the PNC Organizing Committee, we sincerely invite you to attend this Conference.

The theme for this year’s conference is: “Managing Climate Change: From Science to Digital Humanities and Sustainability”. Climate change is an important and pressing issue in the 21st Century expected to affect many aspects of human life. The conference this year will focus on viewing the climate change challenge from the perspective of potential contributions from the fields of information technology and digital humanities. Digital technology has the potential to provide many innovative solutions to the unique problems likely to be encountered as a result of climate change, from novel energy saving solutions, to possible roles for social networking sites in disaster management. The conference this year hopes to enhance the comprehension of past adaptation efforts in history and explore the possibilities to harness the potential.

In addition to this highlighted theme, as always, regular contributions from any aspects of the fields of information technology and digital humanities are most welcome.

This year’s conference will include oral presentations, panel discussions, and poster competitions/ demonstrations that will highlight various domains such as Biodiversity, Information Sharing/ Information Sharing, Disaster Management, Environmental History, GIS, Public Health, e- Archives, e- Culture, e- Heritage, e- Learning, e- Libraries, e- Museums, e- Publishing, and e- Resource.  

Since 1993, the PNC has been committed to enhancing digital research and interaction among researchers, educators, and professionals around the Pacific Rim. The importance and contribution of the PNC has been widely recognized by the digital and information technology community. We sincerely invite you to participate in this upcoming event, learn and share the up‐to‐date knowledge from this ever‐promising field. With your support and participation, we believe all attendees will greatly benefit from this year's conference.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at PNC@sinica.edu.tw if you have any inquires. We are looking forward to seeing you this October in Bangkok!

With best regards,

Da-Wei Wang PNC Executive Officer
