ArgumentThe first international Digital Tools &#38; Uses Congress is a multidisciplinary conference devoted to study the uses and development of digital tools. It aims at assembling five interrelated symposia: 1) Web Studies, 2) Challenges of IoT, 3) Recommender systems, 4) Archives and social networks, and 5) Digital Frontiers. The intention of this consortium is to approach a common object of study from different perspectives in order to enrich the discussion and collaboration between participants.Each one of the congresses afore mentioned has already taken place separately. The endeavor is now to consolidate relationships that bring together theory and practice, technics and humanities, human and artificial agents, sciences and arts. Scholars and practitioners will gather in one place and learn from each other within an inviting environment, blurring boundaries between disciplines and schools.For this reason, each one of the five independent symposia is presented below as a track of the Digital Tools &#38; Uses Congress and will take place simultaneously during the three days of the congress.We are thankful to the amazing partners and international colleagues that have accepted to accompany us in this endeavor. We expect this first edition of the Digital Tools &#38; Uses Congress to offer a wide variety of insights and scientific developments at the crossing point of sciences and humanities.Call for papersWe are glad to invite you to submit proposals to the international Digital Tools &#38; Uses Congress, which is a multidisciplinary conference devoted to the study of uses and development of digital tools.
