Foreword

This volume contains the so-called “project” papers presented at the VAST2006 International Conference held in Nicosia, Cyprus, on 30 October – 4 Novem-ber 2006. The Conference is a joint effort of several organisations and continues the successful series of VAST Conferences, which started in Arezzo, Italy, in November 2000, on the eve of the 21st century.

VAST Conferences focus on the applications of Infor-mation and Communication Technology to Cultural Heritage and Archaeology. In particular, special atten-tion is paid to computer visualization technologies and 3D modelling, which have an outstanding importance in the explanation and communication of heritage to a broad audience of visitors. The variety of themes pre-sented are of equal importance, such as the documen-tation of heritage, the foundation of preservation and specifi c technologies, such as mobile computing and 3D data capture and processing. During its life, VAST has shared its goals EPOCH, the European Network of Excellence on ICT applications to Cultural Heritage (www.epoch-net.org), and naturally became the venue for hosting the reports of the Network’s activity. Since 2004, EPOCH has become the primary supporter of VAST, which also hosts the Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage since 2003. Euro-graphics also became the publisher of the “full” papers proceedings. In the 2006 edition, other organizations have joined in this effort.

One of these organisations is CIPA, which is one of the oldest International Scientifi c Committees of ICO-MOS (The International Society for Monuments and Sites) and was founded in 1968 jointly with ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Re-mote Sensing) to facilitate the transfer of technology from measurement sciences into heritage documenta-tion and recording disciplines. CIPA originally stood for the Comité International de Photogrammétrie Ar-chitecturale (http://cipa.icomos.org). However, this old and well known name no longer describes the

full scope of CIPA activities, therefore CIPA Herit-age Documentation was established, which is now an organization that endeavours to transfer technology from measurement and visualisation sciences to the disciplines of Cultural Heritage recording, conserva-tion and documentation. CIPA holds an International Symposium every two years. Accompanying these Symposia, frequent specialist workshops are held, which deal with specifi c topics. The topics chosen for this year are dedicated to e-documentation and stan-dardization in Cultural Heritage.

Another contributing organization is fairly new but excitingly important for the joint event. The EuroMed conference functions as a bridge between European and Middle East countries and it allows the distribu-tion of knowledge throughout the entire region. The theme of this conference was dedicated to IT in Cul-tural Heritage.

The papers included here deal with project activities, i.e. applied research, organization, on-fi eld applica-tions and the lessons learnt from these. Authors have chosen to report their successes and problems when trying to match theory with reality, which in our opin-ion is not less important than the advances in theo-retical research presented in the “full” papers volume. “Project” papers have been peer-reviewed and due to the great number of submissions, only a small part of them could be accepted and published.

If the number and quality of papers should measure the success of the joint event, these “project” papers would substantially contribute in both regards. Moreover, we consider this conference as a successful event because it managed to bring together so many participants and to join the efforts of different organizations, all contrib-uting to a better knowledge of our common heritage.
