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

January 25-28, 2010, La Jolla, CA, US http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-10/

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.
