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.

=== Submissions ===

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

* Technology-enhanced human-computer and human-human interaction
