It is my pleasure to invite you to send expressions of interest for Re-Thinking Architecturally, a workshop on architecture and design run by the EU Network of Excellence in Internet Science.
Internet Science network: http://internet-science.eu/
Workshop webpage: http://wordpress.it-innovation.soton.ac.uk/eins/
Goals are to address the topics of architecture and design from multi-disciplinary perspectives. We wish to broaden thinking, bring fresh concepts and methods, and identify implications for design. We will be inspired by and build upon (but not be constrained by) the first such workshop, which ran in November 2012.
The workshop will have unconference-style open sessions. Particular goals are to:
* Explore architecture and design from multi-disciplinary perspectives
* Collect and connect methods, methodologies and exemplars
* Explore the notion of architecture of the future internet
* Draw out best practices from representative disciplines
About practical aspects, the workshop will from lunchtime on 22 to the morning of 26 September on Tiree, Scotland (a beautiful, remote island... with an airport!). It is important to have a diverse representation of disciplines such as economics, law, sociology, geography, design, philosophy, architecture, psychology, and computer and network science.
To help us gauge the interest for this event and optimise the disciplinary balance of attendees, please send expressions of interest to Clare ([log in to unmask]) by 4th July. Expressions of interest should be no more than 250 words, and should specify: your name, job title, affiliation, own discipline(s), any disciplines worked with and motivation for attending. Please also confirm whether you are definitely available on the dates in question and will, if offered a place at the workshop, attend.
We will provide 15 applicants with accommodation and full board; you need only arrange your travel.
