The Centre for Research in Social Simulation (University of Surrey, UK) and the Centre d'Analyse et Mathématique Sociales (EHESS/CNRS, France) would like to invite you to attend QualityCommons - an interdisciplinary workshop on collective quality representations and the social processes behind them.
The aims of the workshop are to:
. clarify research questions about the emergence of collective quality definitions
. consider preliminary ideas about the topic as applied to a number of domains (e.g. science, social computing, art, etc.)
. promote links between participants to encourage the development and submission of research proposals on the topic
. plan the writing of an edited book/special journal issue with chapters partly contributed by the participants and partly solicited via an open call for papers after the workshop.
QualityCommons <http://cress.soc.surrey.ac.uk/web/events/qualitycommons-workshop> will take place on 28-29 January 2010 at the Maison de la Recherche, Sorbonne University, in Paris. It will feature presentations by invited speakers, from both academia and industry, as well as panel discussions with a selected audience of up to 50 participants. The programme will be confirmed in due time.
