moved

i've decided that it's ridiculous to separate my research ideas from the rest of my blog.

so moving forward is no more: please point your links to m00se

getting in gear

this friday Noriko and i will be getting together to discuss my 1.5 independent study with her, which will lead to the paper/presentation which we hope to have accepted to the 4S conference listed below. we'll also be hammering out the abstract for the project. it's not due for some time, but it will be nice to have that out of the way before the end of the semester arrives.

in other news, it's time for the HICSS CFP. I think brog should submit again, although i'm not sure what we should focus on, nor can i go to present/assist with the presentation - far to much $$$, especially considering that the conference will be less than a month after we've graduated.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Seventh Annual Minitrack on Persistent Conversation
Hawaii International Conference on Systems Science (HICSS 39)
Hyatt Regency, Kauai, Hawaii
January 4-7, 2006

New changes:
- Abstract deadline extended to March 31st
- The minitrack will be preceded by a half day workshop

=== AT A GLANCE ===

= Summary of Topic =
Persistent conversations occur via instant messaging, chat, email,
blogs, bulletin boards, MOOs, graphical VR environments, document
annotation systems, text messaging on mobile phones, etc. Such forms
of conversation play a crucial role in domains such as online communities,
the sharing and management of knowledge, and the support of
e-commerce, e-learning and other network mediated interactions. The
persistence of digitally mediated conversation affords new uses (e.g.
searching, replaying, restructuring) and raises new problems. This
multi-disciplinary minitrack seeks contributions from researchers and
designers that improve our ability to understand, analyze, and/or
design persistent conversation systems.

= Who =
Researchers and designers from fields such as anthropology,
computer-mediated communication, HCI, interaction design,
linguistics, management, psychology, rhetoric, sociology, and so forth.
We also welcome submissions from graduate students.

Call for Papers Announcement

INTERNET GENERATIONS

The Internet has been a rapidly evolving phenomenon, so much so that we may talk about generations of the Internet. With everything moving faster in 'Internet time,' we have arguably spanned many technological Internet generations within a single human generation: from the birth of computing to the first online communications; from the beginnings of email to the enriched worlds of chat, virtual worlds and mobile text messaging; from the workplace to home and school; from optional to all-but-mandatory; and from mainframe to desktop to laptop to mobile devices.

We can also talk about contextual Internet generations, from the early pioneers who count themselves among those communicating online before the 1980s; to the early adopters of the 1980s in university and proprietary systems; to latecomers finding the need to adopt computing and technology use as part of their daily work; to the current and coming generations that will not know a time without a computer in the household, a mobile phone in their hand, and a lap- or palmtop and an MP3 player an essential part of their daily wear.

This massive change in technologies, and in work and social practices suggests many avenues of interest for Internet research.

CALL FOR PAPERS

We call for papers from a wide perspective of disciplines, methodologies, and communities. We invite papers that address the theme of Internet Generations including TOPICS such as:

- Histories of the Internet: human, social, technical, and/or cultural stories and histories - Internet use by generation, e.g., by era of technology, by children and seniors, or by age of user, etc. - Individual, group, organizational, or community use, adoption, or diffusion of the Internet and its practices - Development in use of languages, new vocabularies, social roles, rules, and etiquette - Societal impacts of and on the Internet and its evolution - Perspectives on the Internet and social change in a changing world - Internet expansion across divides, borders, nationalities, etc. - Mapping the course of Internet connectivity - Prospects for the future: Next generation Internet

We invite submissions for papers, panels, and demonstrations of work on topics related to the conference theme of Internet Generations. Sessions at the conference will be established that specifically address the conference theme. We particularly call for innovative, exciting, and unexpected takes on the conference theme. We also welcome submissions on topics that address social, cultural, political, economic, and/or aesthetic aspects of the Internet beyond the conference theme. In all cases, we welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions as well as international collaborations from both AoIR and non-AoIR members.

GRADUATE STUDENT PROPOSALS AND PARTICIPATION

We strongly encourage submissions of proposals from graduate students, and papers for consideration for a special Student Award. Students should note their student status with submission. Students wishing to be a candidate for the Student Award must send a full final paper to the conference organizers by June 1, 2005.
