L'Istituto Politecnico di Tomar in Portogallo ospiterà il congresso del Computer Applications in Archeology (CAA), l'organizzazione internazionale che ormai da più di vent'anni svolge un ruolo di primo piano nella promozione e nella conoscenza delle nuove tecnologie informatiche in archeologia. Accanto alle 14 sessioni tematiche volte a dare un quadro esaustivo sulle interazioni esistenti fra archeologia e applicazioni informatiche (dalla ricostruzione delle immagini in 3D nell'archeologia subacquea, ai modelli GIS, dalla fotogrammetria alla geofisica, dai musei archeologici all'analisi dei siti internet dedicati all'archeologia), il programma prevede anche numerosi interventi di specialisti su alcuni progetti europei (BRIKS), le applicazioni informatiche, i programmi e i database più diffusi.
