Track Descriptions:
The advent of Internet and a new generation of web-based applications has changed the statu quo of media establishments such as the music and movie industries. Now, the time seems to have come for the book industry. Technologies, applications, and standards are starting to discover a new breed of eContent where the book is in the cloud, can be accessed from mobile devices, and can be shared in social networks.
But this is just the beginning, as new technical, legal, strategic and even literary innovations and issues alike arise. Social scientists, anthropologists, historians, engineers, as well as publishers and authors need to work together and understand what this means to the many societies that have depended on paper as the means to keep our culture alive and kicking.
We are pleased to announce and invite manuscripts for joint AHLiST conference from researchers and practitioners on eContent, eBook generation, authoring, publishing and advertising. We expect and encourage a wide diversity of subjects across eBooks and eContent in Internet and mobile contexts.
