Esbjerg, Denmark - 7-10 August 2002
Symposium
|
Welcome!NEW! The proceedings for MIS 02 are now available at the Springer Web site at http://link.springer.de/link/service/series/0558/tocs/t2641.htm! Metainformatics concerns work about computer science. Work in metainformatics can be about developers, computer users, or those influenced by computer technology. For example, development environments aimed at making system designers more effective, infrastructure functionality intended to be made available to all computer users at all times, or reflections about the politics of computing all address the practice of computer science. The metainformatics symposium will bring together researchers from a variety of fields including computer science, social sciences and the humanities to share and discuss ideas about the field of computer science, its effects on people both inside and outside the field, and on technologies that may help shape the field's future directions. The symposium will be structured somewhat differently than many traditional conferences by scheduling sessions intended to foster dialog within small groups of researchers in addition to plenary sessions to stress unifying themes. There will be ample opportunity for in-depth discussions to follow up on ideas presented at larger sessions, as well as several informal gatherings to help foster a sense of community in this new area. Participation will be limited. All attendees will be required to submit at least one piece of work. (Submission formats are discussed on the submissions page.) All submissions will be reviewed by the review committee. All accepted papers will be published. Full papers will appear as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, published by Springer Verlag. Important Dates
