A key focus will be the identification and feasibility of sensor-based data and other measurable proxies relevant to court dining (e.g., lighting conditions, room acoustics, circulation paths for serving, thermal and ventilation aspects, and spatial patterns of seating/order and visibility). The workshop will therefore explicitly aim to attract additional members and partners (heritage professionals, engineers, data specialists) who can advise on data acquisition and experimental designs that remain historically responsible. A second focus will be the definition of analytical approaches for statistics, dynamical-systems modelling, and AI-supported visualisation, in order to move from descriptive reconstructions toward new levels of analytical abstraction and comparison.
