[Sigmed-l] Social Informatics symposium, ASIST 2007

[Catherine Arnott Smith]

Announcing the 3rd Annual Social Informatics Research Symposium: The Social Web, Social Computing and the Social Analysis of Computing (SIG SI)

Friday October 19th, 1-6pm; Hyatt Regency Milwaukee Wisconsin

The purpose of this ASIST preconference research symposium is to disseminate current research and research in progress that investigates the social aspects of information and communications technologies (ICT) across all areas of ASIST.  The symposium includes members of many SIGs.

We define "social" broadly to include critical and historical approaches and well as contemporary social analysis; and, "technology" is defined equally broadly to include traditional technologies (i.e., paper) as well as state of the art computer systems. 

***Call for papers and posters***

Submit a short paper (3000 words), submitting a poster (1000 words). Submissions may include empirical, critical and theoretical work, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations.
