The Fifth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2007)

C5 2007
January 24 - 26, 2007
Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan

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 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
