MindTrek 2008 Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals
We are happy to invite you into MindTrek Conference in October 7–9, 2008.
MindTrek is a three day conference to explore current and emerging topics of
social media, ubimedia and games. MindTrek includes a workshop day, three
main tracks, plenary sessions and invited presentations. MindTrek is a
leading Northern new media festival and conference series, arranged already
for more than a decade, since 1997.
Interdisciplinary and open for innovation, MindTrek is a meeting place where
experts and thinkers present results from their latest work regarding the
development of Internet, interactive media and information society. MindTrek
brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that
are involved in the development of media from sociology, economy, to
technology. The organizing committee invites you to submit original high
quality papers addressing the special theme and the topics, for presentation
at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings.
We are interested in contributions in the topic areas social media,
ambient/ubiquitous media, and games such as:
- case-studies (successful, and especially unsuccessful ones)
- oral presentation of fresh and innovative ideas
- artistic installations and running system prototypes
- user-experience studies and evaluations
- technological novelties, evaluations, and solutions
- scientific, business, or media oriented contributions
- proposals for own workshops.
The submitted papers will be selected for the following streams of the
conference:
- Social media
- Gaming
- Ubiquitous and ambient media.
Feel free to suggest workshops which are co-organized with the MindTrek
