12 Oct '06

Hello, Due to many requests, the paper submission deadline for the C5-05 conference has been extended to **October 23**. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. Best Regards, Hideyuki Takada ----- CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS *** NEW PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 23, 2006 *** The Fifth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2007) January 24 - 26, 2007, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-07/ Organized by Hewlett-Packard Company Kyoto University 21st Century COE Program for Knowledge Society Infrastructure Viewpoints Research Institute 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 half-day and full-day interactive workshops. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include but not limited to - Development and applications of collaboration tools and environments - User collaboration utilizing 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), e.g., $100 laptop - Applications and tools for education from K-12 through higher education PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Original papers concerned with both theory and practice are solicited. A full paper with 8 page limit 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" at http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/index.jsp). Submitted papers and camera-ready papers should be sent electronically through our online submission site (http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-07/myreview/). The PDF, Postscript and MS-WORD formats are acceptable. WORKSHOP PROPOSAL GUIDELINES The third day of the conference (Jan. 26, 2007) has been allotted for workshops and field trips. The workshop day is intended to offer conference participants the opportunity to learn more about human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration processes and tools through interactive group experiences. Workshops allow conference participants to apply what they have learned in the plenary sessions and paper presentations through hands-on activities, facilitated discussions, and field trips to schools and sites offering technology-enabled learning activities. Workshop proposals should include workshop title, description of topic, workshop organizers, workshop duration (half-day or full-day) and estimated expenses (printing, etc.). Proposals should be sent to the conference contact e-mail address indicated at the conference web page. IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: October 23, 2006 (Extended) Workshop proposals: October 30, 2006 Notification of acceptance: November 30, 2006 Full paper camera-ready copies: January 7, 2007 Proposals for demos and posters: January 7, 2007 PUBLICATION 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.

We could do it better
by Xinyu Liu 11 Oct '06

Hi, I found an educational site with some games for kids: http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/ They are all falsh games now. I think we could do it better with squeak. Because squeak can provide much more exciting interaction to the player. Anyway, I think this site has done a good job to make young children be interesting in science and Nobelprize. Best regards. Yours, Liu.
