> More and more, the relationship between communities and technology is 
> a topic of major research interest. ‘C&T’ conference serves as a forum 
> for stimulating and disseminating research into all facets of 
> communities and information technology.
>
> The nature of the 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) and social 
> sciences (Economics, Management Science, Psychology, Political 
> Science, Sociology, Ethnography, Discourse Analysis).
>
> Communities are social entities whose actors share common needs, 
> interests, or 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, the 
> maintenance of cultural identities, 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. While earlier approaches focused on storing and 
> retrieving explicit knowledge represented in documents, communities 
> are believed to be important structures to share implicit situated 
> knowledge, as well. Given a new dimension by the use of electronic 
> networks, inter-organizational cooperation is nowadays often discussed 
> in terms of B2B-Marketplaces, Supply Chain Management, Virtual 
> Organizations, or Strategic Alliances. Many failed attempts to 
> implement these approaches can be attributed to inadequate attention 
> to the issues of communities. Finally new types of communities, e.g. 
> on-line communities, might change the relationships between producer 
> and consumer.
>
> Information technologies may support or hinder these and other types 
> of communities by enabling communication among (virtual) community 
> members. Research issues include trust-building, maintaining 
> (awareness of) social relations, increase or decrease of social 
> capital, visualization of social relationships, matching (unknown) 
> actors, bridging between physical and electronically-mediated 
> interaction, etc.

> The conference will focus on presentation and discussion of empirical 
> and conceptual research. Topics covered by the conference include, but 
> are not restricted to the following subjects:
