Call for Papers - C5-09
The Seventh International Conference on Creating, Connecting and
Collaborating through Computing (C5 2009)
January 19-22, 2009
Kyoto, Japan
http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-09/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 have added workshops to the conference
and are now soliciting proposals fro interactive workshops.
Hosted in Japan, this conference builds on the successes and high
standards held by previous C5 conferences: 2003-2005, 2007 in Kyoto
(Japan), 2006 in Berkeley (USA), 2008 in Poitiers (France).
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include but are 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,
instrumentations, participatory design (PD) or simulations , robots,
and game playing
Development of applications/content for non-traditional learning and
support environments, including mentoring, role-playing, peer-to-
peer, "teacherless" environments, low-cost and sustainable
technologies (e.g. $100 laptop), and gerontechnology applications,
among others.
Applications and tools for education from K-12 through higher
education, system design by children, digital library and search
environment for children
Conference sessions will include invited talks, including Dr. Alan
Kay (Viewpoints Research Institute), recipient of the 2003 ACM Turing
Award, Dr. Allison Druin, Human-Computer Interaction Lab, University
of Maryland, as well as formal paper presentations, hands-on
workshops, informal "un-conference" and "lightning" sessions and
social and sightseeing events.
