> The Second International Conference on Communities & Technologies
> (C&T
> 2005)Milan, Italy, 13-16 June, 2005
> http://www.cct2005.disco.unimib.it/
>
> The relationship between communities and technology is an
> increasingly
> important research topic as the number of communities turning to
> technology
> for online and face-to-face support grows. The Second International
> Conference on Communities & Technologies (C&T 2005) conference
> provides a
> forum for stimulating and disseminating research about all facets of
> community and technology support for communities.
> To be successful this field requires multidisciplinary research
> efforts
> involving researchers from different fields of applied computer
> science
> (Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Computer Supported
> Collaborative
> Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Information Retrieval, Human
> Computer
> Interaction, Information Systems), the social sciences (Economics,
> Management Science, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology,
> Ethnography,
> Linguistics, Cultural Studies, Economics) and many application
> areas, such
> as Education, Business, Medicine and civic engagement.
> Communities are social entities whose participants share common
> goals,
> needs, interests, and practices: they constitute the basic units
> of social
> experience. For a number of reasons, researchers are increasingly
> interested
> in the topic of communities. First, within a global
> knowledge-based society,
> communities play a pivotal role. Problems such as new forms of
> political
> participation and civic engagement, maintenance of cultural
> identity, or the
> integration of minorities need to be tackled on the community
> level. Second,
> communities also re-shape the processes of learning and sharing
> knowledge in
> and among organizations, formal and informal groups. The Internet
> and the
> Web make communication possible across national boundaries and
> between
> cultures in ways that could not happen before. Furthermore,
> mobile devices,
> particularly advanced phone technologies, promise to open the
> Internet to
> people who have been denied access for financial, technical and
> cultural
> reasons.
> For information technologies to support communities research is
> needed to
> understand the social, technical and usability needs of
> participants. Many
> topics need to be addressed including: trust-building, maintaining
> (awareness of) social relations, social capital, visualization of
> social
> relationships, matching (unknown) participants, bridging between
> physical
> and electronically-mediated interaction, cultural needs.
>
> The conference offers an opportunity to present and discuss
> empirical and
> conceptual research. Topics covered include, but are not
> restricted to the
> following subjects:
