ICSC 2001 International Conference on
Social Computing
October 1 - 3, 2001
University of Bremen, Germany
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Governing the Network Society
PURPOSE
In recent decades, the use of information and communication technology
has
transformed the way of life and work of many people all over the world.
While the Internet has become the most important instrument for
organizing that change, we see that in some parts of the world,
many people do not even have access to a computer. Ironically, while
"connected" people partake in discussions about the evolution of the
"networked society", those who are not connected are excluded from this
discussion. As a result, the technological, cultural, and social
developments
will probably continue without the participation of large numbers of
people,
and the imbalance will extend with growing speed and unforeseen
consequences.
The main questions, the conference is dealing with are: What are the
social
impacts of the emerging information and communication technology
worldwide?
Is it meaningful to speak about the "network society"? How can we govern
it
in a fair way?
The conference will serve as an international forum for scientists,
leading
experts, technical professionals, and users involved in research and
development. They will gather together to discuss the benefits,
challenges,
and risks of information and communication technology for the future
society.
At the same time this international conference is an attempt to bring
together those organisations involved in topics of computers and
society.
The conference will include keynote addresses, invited lectures,
contributed
papers, posters, tool demonstrations, panel discussions, and satellite
events
on a wide range of topics in this area. The conference is meant to
attract
both academics as well as everybody working as an expert with
information
and communication technology.
