The Austrian National Library and the Vienna University of Technology are 
pleased to host 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.


SUBMISSIONS

iPRES2010 will adopt a two-track scheme, focussing on research Papers reporting 
on novel, previously unpublished work, as well as case studies and best 
practice reports in both a *Full Paper* as well as a *Late Breaking Results* 
track. The conference programme will be designed to encourage interaction 
between these areas, rather than seeing them as separated fields. A selection 
of outstanding papers from the iPRES2010 will be invited for submission to a 
special issue of the International Journal of Digital Curation. 
Furthermore, iPRES2010 will offer a set of *Tutorials* on the Sunday preceeding 
the conference, as well as focussed *Workshops* following the main conference.
Submissions are invited for full and short papers, demos/posters, panels, 
workshops, and tutorials. All contributions will undergo a peer-review process 
by members of the Programme Committee. 

More information, including instructions for submission, is available at the 
iPRES2010 homepage. (http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dp/ipres2010)
