The Seventh International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2009)
|
Welcome to the C5 2009 conference web site
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 have added workshops to the conference and are now soliciting proposals fro interactive workshops.
Hosted in Japan, this conference builds on the successes and high standards held by previous C5 conferences: 2003-2005, 2007 in Kyoto (Japan), 2006 in Berkeley (USA), 2008 in Poitiers (France).
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Conference sessions will include invited talks, including one from Dr. Alan Kay (Viewpoints Research Institute), 2003 ACM Turing awards, one from Dr. Allison Druin, Human-Computer Interaction Lab, University of Maryland as well as formal paper presentations, hands-on workshops, informal "un-conference" and "lightning" sessions and social and sightseeing events.
Will be opened by the middle of August.
