Call for Papers
Ninth International Conference on
Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing
(C5 2011)
18-20 January 2011
Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-11/
Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are pervasive in our
information-based society. Unfortunately, most users of this technology use it
for passive consumption of information and entertainment. 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 anyone interested in the use of computers as
tools to
develop and enable user-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration
processes. Researchers, developers, educators and users come together
at C5 to
present new and ongoing work and to discuss future directions for
creative
computing and multimedia environments. We welcome the submission of
theoretical and technical papers, practitioner/experience reports, and
papers
that bridge the gap between theory and practice or that encourage
inter- and
cross-disciplinary study.
