Digital Futures 2012

Call for Papers

Submission Deadline: August 10th 2012, midnight BST.

Following the success of the first two Digital Economy 'All Hands' events
(Digital Futures 2010 and Digital Engagement 2011) we are pleased to
announce the third annual meeting of the Digital Economy community,
Digital Futures 2012.

Digital Economy research is working to realise the transformational impact
of digital technologies on aspects of community life, cultural
experiences, future society, and the economy. In other words, how
technology and its changing application is impacting and transforming
society.

This two and half day event will include keynote speakers, paper
presentations, integrated workshops, demonstrations and posters. For the
first time there will also be a dedicated exhibition space, showcasing the
work of the Digital Economy community.

We now seek submissions focusing on any aspect of the Digital Economy;
topics may include, but are not limited to:

* Healthcare
* Connected Home & Community
* Creative Industries
* Transport
* Energy
* Digital Inclusion
* New Economic Models
* IT as a Utility
* Sustainable Society
* Communities & Culture
* Trust, Security & Privacy
* Evaluations of Impact

This year the conference has a particular focus on Disruptive Innovation.
In other words, how technology and its changing application is
transforming society.

Submissions are welcome from anyone in the research or industrial
community whether funded by the RCUK Digital Economy Theme or not. We also
welcome submissions from others active in or impacted by the Digital
Economy.

PhD student submissions are particularly welcome, whether associated with
one of the Digital Economy Centres for Doctoral Training or indeed other
Digital Economy activity, and such papers will be reviewed separately to
ensure representation of this body of work at the event.

Creation of a community in the UK that is capable of world class, leading
research in the Digital Economy area is a key aim of the Digital Economy
Theme. The All Hands Meeting is a key event designed to encourage the
development of this community.
