“Multidisciplinary Media

& Mediated Communication Technologies”

As part of the

4th Annual International Conference on Communication and Management 
(ICCM2018),

23-26 April 2018, Athens, Greece

The  Communication Institute of Greece  (COMinG) invites you to submit 
your abstract at its Special session on Multidisciplinary Media & 
Mediated Communication Technologies as part of the 4th Annual 
International Conference on Communication and Management (ICCM2018), 
23-26 April 2018, Athens, Greece.

The aim of the panel is to bring together academics, researchers and 
professionals, of all areas of Communication Technologies (ICTs) & 
Computer Science.

You may participate as presenter of one paper, chair a session or as an 
observer.

During the last decades, the digital revolution that we have all 
experienced through the widespread deployment of Information and 
Communication Technologies (ICTs) has multilaterally influenced 
individual’s perception about significant aspects of everyday life. 
Among others, the massive adoption of Internet technologies and the 
transition to the Web 2.0 /3.0 paradigms (and beyond) have shaped a 
dynamically changing media environment. The proliferation of manageable 
multimedia capturing, processing and sharing tools engaged people to be 
actively involved in the news production and consumption processes. As a 
result, new forms of digital journalism and mass communication are 
continuously launched and elaborated, thus advancing contemporary media 
services. Among others, easier information exchange is favored by the 
efficient collaboration between remotely-located users, groups, 
professionals and experts of various kinds, therefore promoting 
pluralism and diversity with timely- and geographically-boundless news 
coverage (i.e. without time and/or location restrictions). Along with 
the contemporary journalism technologies (i.e. robot-, drone-, 
immersive-journalism, etc.), new digital storytelling potentials also 
appear, aiming at offering enhanced capabilities of content capturing, 
processing automation and augmented user interaction.

The proposed session has been formed to serve the highly demanding 
interdisciplinary needs of contemporary media and mediated 
communication. Both technological and social aspects of the rapidly 
changing media landscape are considered among the involved scientific 
disciplines, including, but not limited to, the following topics :

New Media (theories and practices),
Media Technology and Computational Journalism,
Data Journalism and Visualization,
Technology of Electronic Media and Digital Broadcasting,
Online Censorship and Web evaluation,
Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing in media,
Distant Learning practices,
Distributed and 3D printing,
Human Machine Interaction and Multimedia,
Virtual and Augmented Reality,
Robot /Drones Journalism, and others.
Pervasive media and Ubiquitous Computing
Automated Journalism and Smart Systems
Media security and Data Protection
Digital content archiving, documentation and management
Social Media and Networking Services,
Digital storytelling, authoring and software technologies
Computational and Artificial Intelligence,
Social Networks,
Wireless Communications, and others.
