             The Eighth International Conference on
 Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2010)

              January 25-28, 2010, La Jolla, CA, US

       ** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 13 **

                          CALL FOR PAPERS

 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
 theoretical and technical papers, practitioner/experience reports and
 papers that bridge the gap between theory and practice.

 C5 2010 invites submissions of full papers in the following
 categories (but not limited to):

 - Collaboration & Communication
 - Technology-Human Interaction
 - Visualization
 - Virtual Worlds
 - Social Networks
 - Learning

 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.

Paper Submission

Paper Format

 A full paper with a limit of eight (8) pages, formatted in two
 columns and 10 point font, should be submitted by the paper
 submission deadline. Each paper will be reviewed by the program
 committee, and authors will be notified regarding
 acceptance. Accepted authors must submit a camera ready version of
 the full paper with an eight (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 in PDF through our
