CALL FOR PAPERS
The Sixth International Conference on
Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2008)
January 14-16, 2008, Poitiers, France

Oraganized by

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.
For the first time hosted in Europe, this conference builds on the
successes and high standards held by previous C5 conferences :
2003-2005, 2007 in Kyoto (Japan), 2006 in Berkeley (USA).
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include but not limited to
- Development and applications of collaboration tools and
environments
- User collaboration using 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), low cost and sustainable
technologies, e.g., $100 laptop
- Applications and tools for education from K-12 through higher
education, system design by children, digital library and search
environment for children
PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
C5 2008 invites submissions of long papers in the following
categories:
- Theoretical papers
- Case studies, experiments reports
- 'Bringing theory into practice or practice into theory' papers
focus on building a bridge between practices and theories in the
field of C5.
Full papers must report original work that has not been previously
published. Papers must present reports of significant work in
research, development and applications with regards to one or more of
the conference topics of interest. All submissions will be reviewed
by a distinguished international program committee.
A full paper with 8 page limit formatted in two columns and 10 point
font should be submitted by the paper submission deadline. The papers
are reviewed by the program comittee and authors will be notified
about acceptance. Accepted authors have to submit a camera ready
version of the full paper with 8 page limit by the camera-ready copy
deadline.
Papers should follow the formatting instructions provided by 8.5" x
11", Two-Column Format of "IEEE Computer Society Press - Proceedings
Author Guidelines" (please refer to INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS in
Conference Publishing Service). Submitted papers and camera-ready
papers should be sent electronically through our online submission
site (will be available soon). The PDF, Postscript and MS-WORD
formats are acceptable.
PUBLICATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS
Preliminary version of the proceedings will be distributed during the
conference. The formal version of the proceedings will be published
by the IEEE Computer Society and sent to authors after the
conference. For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors
needs to attend the conference and give presentation, otherwise the
paper will not be included in the formal proceedings.
IMPORTANT DATES
Full paper submission: September 30, 2007
Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2007
Full paper camera-ready copies: December 15, 2007
