Summary:

Call for Papers

Deadline for the submission of the abstract is February 15th 2008

The main objective of this workshop is to illustrate the ultimate state of the art of portable diagnostic technologies for monitoring cultural heritage and their general and specific uses. Furthermore, during two round tables there will be the opportunity to debate their possible future technological developments and to discuss the need of establishing common “on site monitoring” recommended protocols (parameters, devices, time steps etc.) and proposing the creation of data treatment infrastructures in order to link historic surfaces data to geographical positioning and climatic conditions of the monitored structure.

TOPICS

Techniques to measure and evaluate the state of conservation of various materials and their modifications due to the action of atmospheric pollution, climatic and environmental factors and loads (colour, salts, humidity, water, particulate deposit, soiling, corrosion, thinning, creep, fissures, weakness, biodegradation, geo-mechanical displacement), including modern image-based and 3D sampling technologies.

Techniques to measure and evaluate the performance (effectiveness and durability) of conservation treatments used in restoration interventions (cleaning, protection, consolidation) and their possible changes (organic and inorganic products).
