Registration is open until July 20, 2023 (3 p.m.) https://reinherit-hub.eu/news/e0451024-e5ba-4fe1-889f-b8d0f401426e.
In recent years, a new round of technological revolution led by digital technologies such as robotics, big data, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, reverse engineering with 3D printing and scanning, virtual and augmented reality, are creating significant changes both in everyday life and in production and processing methods. These changes have enormous implications for the global economy, industry and society as a whole.
They could not leave the world of culture unscathed. Their contribution to the protection of archaeological sites and monuments in an environment of intense climatic phenomena is very important and is rapidly evolving through the application of technological achievements. By presenting the scope of these technologies and focusing on their application in the protection of archaeological sites and monuments, the need for interconnection and integration of new technologies with archaeological sites and monuments is highlighted.
Following the role of these emerging technologies, a novel practical approach consisting of risk assessment techniques and cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things will be presented. The practical, holistic and easily adaptable methodology will reveal how intelligent agent technology can have a significant impact, improving the way first responders and monument managers, including visitors, react to and handle risk or emergency situations. A pilot case study will highlight how monuments and human lives can be protected and saved. The objective is to understand how accurate forecasting together with intelligent decisions will help prevent possible damage to cultural and natural heritage without loss of life.
