Hi all,
just a reminder. The submission deadline for C5 (see below) is at the end of the month. This is a good opportunity to talk about EToys, Squeak, Croquet or something related in France ;-) Best regards, -- oooo Dr. Serge Stinckwich OOOOOOOO Université de Caen>CNRS UMR 6072>GREYC>MAD OOESUGOO oooooo Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)] \ / ## ---- CALL FOR PAPERS The Sixth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2008) January 14-16, 2008, Poitiers, France http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-08/ Oraganized by Kyoto University Global COE (Centers of Excellence) Program: Informatics Education and Research Center for Knowledge-Circulating Society European Smalltalk User Group Espace Mende`s France Viewpoints Research Institute Impara SCOPE Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are now pervasive in our information-based society. However, most users still function as passive consumers of technology. To evolve into a true knowledge society, it is critical that we transform computer-based human activities to engage users in the active process of creating, connecting, and collaborating together. The C5 conference is for researchers, technology developers, educators, and technology users who are concerned about developing and enabling human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration processes. C5 is an international forum for presenting ongoing work as well as new work currently under development and for discussing future needs and directions in creative computing and multimedia authoring environments. We welcome equally the submission of technical papers and practitioner/experience reports for paper presentations. In addition, we are adding a workshop track for the third day of the conference and are soliciting proposals for interactive workshops. For the first time hosted in Europe, this conference builds on the successes and high standards held by previous C5 conferences : 2003-2005, 2007 in Kyoto (Japan), 2006 in Berkeley (USA). TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include but not limited to - Development and applications of collaboration tools and environments - User collaboration using 3D, multimedia, and animation objects - Technologies for creating educational environments - Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and Technology-Enabled Learning (TEL) - Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), distributed work, and virtual teaming - Hybrid technology activities, such as scientific experiments, instrumentation, robots, and game playing - Development of applications/content for non traditional learning environments, e.g. mentoring, peer-to-peer, "teacherless" environments (in developing countries), low cost and sustainable technologies, e.g., $100 laptop - Applications and tools for education from K-12 through higher education, system design by children, digital library and search environment for children PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES C5 2008 invites submissions of long papers in the following categories: - Theoretical papers - Case studies, experiments reports - 'Bringing theory into practice or practice into theory' papers focus on building a bridge between practices and theories in the field of C5. Full papers must report original work that has not been previously published. Papers must present reports of significant work in research, development and applications with regards to one or more of the conference topics of interest. All submissions will be reviewed by a distinguished international program committee. A full paper with 8 page limit formatted in two columns and 10 point font should be submitted by the paper submission deadline. The papers are reviewed by the program comittee and authors will be notified about acceptance. Accepted authors have to submit a camera ready version of the full paper with 8 page limit by the camera-ready copy deadline. Papers should follow the formatting instructions provided by 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format of "IEEE Computer Society Press - Proceedings Author Guidelines" (please refer to INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS in Conference Publishing Service). Submitted papers and camera-ready papers should be sent electronically through our online submission site (will be available soon). The PDF, Postscript and MS-WORD formats are acceptable. PUBLICATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS Preliminary version of the proceedings will be distributed during the conference. The formal version of the proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and sent to authors after the conference. For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors needs to attend the conference and give presentation, otherwise the paper will not be included in the formal proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: September 30, 2007 Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2007 Full paper camera-ready copies: December 15, 2007 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Honorary Co-Chairs Alan Kay, Viewpoints Research Institute, USA Makoto Nagao, National Diet Library, Japan Advisory Chairs Kim Rose, Viewpoints Research Institute, USA Katsumi Tanaka, Kyoto University, Japan Conference Co-Chairs Benay Dara-Abrams, DALaboratories, USA Serge Stinckwich, GREYC, Universite' de Caen/CNRS, France Program Co-Chairs Rieko Kadobayashi, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan Hajime Kita, Kyoto University, Japan Rick McGeer, Hewlett-Packard Company, USA Local Arrangement Chairs Thierry Pasquier, Espace Mendes France, France Jean-Francois Cerisier, University of Poitiers, France Samuel Besson, Espace Mendes France, France Publicity and Publication Chair Hideyuki Takada, Ritsumeikan University, Japan Financial Chair Samuel Besson, Espace Mendes France, France _______________________________________________ Squeakland mailing list [hidden email] http://squeakland.org/mailman/listinfo/squeakland |
