[Air-l] Communities and Technologies Workshop Proposals Due by Dec. 4

[Charles Steinfield]

Greetings colleagues,
Only a week remains before the deadline for submitting workshop  
proposals for the Communities and Technologies 2007 meeting.  This  
biennial meeting serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating  
research on the complex connections between communities – both  
physical and virtual – and information and communication  
technologies.  We had an excellent response to the completed paper  
call, and the June 28-30 conference should be an excellent one.

Here is some information from the C&T 2007 website about workshops at  
the C&T meeting:

Workshops
As with prior C&T meetings, we are planning to host a series of half- 
day and full day workshops on June 28, the first day of the  
conference. Workshops are organized around a theme proposed by  
individuals or groups of researchers and accepted by the program  
committee. The workshop proposers, with support by the conference co- 
organizers, run their workshop, including distribution of a call for  
participation and selection of participants in advance of the  
conference. Workshops will be held at the conference venue in  
suitably equipped meeting rooms.

Proposals for workshops are due on December 4, 2006. Proposals should  
be built around specific themes relevant to the conference. Workshop  
proposals should be 4 pages in length, and should define the theme(s)  
of the workshop, the main activities and goals, the background and  
contact information of the organizer(s), the maximum number of  
participants in the workshop, the means of soliciting participants,  
and the method of selecting participants. Proposals should also  
include a brief summary of no more than 150 words suitable for  
describing the workshop in the conference program.

with best regards,
