Journal of Visual Languages and Sentient Systems: Special Issue on Sentient Systems and Cultural Heritage
Scope of the Issue
The Special Issue on Sentient Systems and Cultural Heritage aims at the investigation of new approaches and methodologies, based on sentient computing, that can support activities related to the specific contexts of Cultural Heritage, and the various actors involved.

The special issue will provide the opportunity to present, share and discuss the experience of practitioners and academic researchers in fruition and managing cultural heritage resources.
Topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to:
- Sentient Systems for Cultural Heritage
