> human and psychological aspects and feelings are all of interest.  
> Reflections on past, present,
> and future challenges - especially planning for handling the latter  
> - are encouraged.

> Today, computer science and ICT-related disciplines are working more  
> and more together with various behavioural and social sciences  
> including child psychology and developmental psychology. For this  
> reason, the conference pays attention to societal changes, global  
> and more local organisational and institutional changes, changes in  
> values and in lifestyles, as well as individual cognitive effects  
> and changes, motivational and emotional changes. It also appeals to  
> solution-building in terms of desirable goals and actions for  
> reaching a Good Information Society.
>
> In general all types of research strategies are encouraged, and  
> especially cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary studies. Case  
> studies, broader empirical field studies, theoretical analyses,
