Editorial

CEPHAD is back!  The Centre for Philosophy and Design has been
around (in a virtual sense) for several years, and had been
responsible for a number of one or two-day events held in the
UK, and finally a memorable event held on the island of
Bornholm.  I am very pleased that Per Galle and Denmarks Design
School have taken up the challenge.

CEPHAD

Thanks to the support and goodwill of the Design Research
Society and of Danmarks Designskole, CEPHAD is now coming to
life after a long silence.

CEPHAD finds itself renewed, relocated and reinforced; ready to
pursue its double purpose of

(1) pioneering and consolidating the Philosophy of Design as a
resarch discipline in its own right: philosophical inquiry into
design; and

(2) advancing and supplementing Design Research through its
application of Philosophy of Design.

As a visible result of the revival process so far, we are now
able to present a web site of our own, at http://www.cephad.org.
Here you can read more about the renewed CEPHAD, what it offers,
and how you might contribute.

Much remains to be done, but I think we have a good starting
point. I would like to invite you all to join me in a discussion
of how we should move on from here. Feel free to post your
comments and suggestions to the CEPHAD list

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/cephad.html

or to mail me directly <[log in to unmask]>

CALLS





28-31 May 2007:  CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Second Advanced
International Colloquium on Building the Scientific Mind -
BtSM2007 under the patronage of the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO)

This is to invite you to participate in the Second Advanced
International Colloquium on Building the Scientific Mind to be
held from Monday 28 till Thursday 31 May 2007 in Vancouver, BC,
Canada. This unique event brings together innovative thinkers,
researchers, practitioners and policymakers from across
disciplines and sectors. We shall be honored by your decision to
take part.

THE ORGANIZERS The event is being organized by the US and
France-based Learning Development Institute, a transdisciplinary
networked learning community devoted to excellence in the
development and study of learning, in close collaboration with
the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada,
and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO.

RESTORING THE MIND AS A FOCUS OF ATTENTION

The colloquium aims at giving the human mind the prominent place
it deserves. In many endeavors, both in education and
communication, the tendency exists to depart from too narrow and
restrictive a focus, failing to take into account the
interpretation that individuals make of the context in which
they live and operate. Thus, education systems address specific
competencies in the context of compartmentalized fields of
knowledge. Likewise, communication efforts focus on behavior
change in ways that are frequently unrelated to the larger set
of preoccupations and frameworks of experience with which human
beings live. Yet, to borrow from the work of prominent brain
researcher Susan Greenfield, our neuronal makeup is such that we
continually make and remake ourselves as we grow and personalize
our brain through the experiences that we, as individuals, live
through. Such experiences provide us with a diverse set of
dispositions, or 'mindsets', that help us make sense of the
world and enable us to interact with it in a purposeful and
mindful manner.

In addition to the scientific mind, different other mindsets can
be identified, such as the entrepreneurial mind, the spiritual
mind and the lyrical mind, to name but a few. We consider the
scientific mind a useful starting point for a conversation among
experts from different disciplines about the importance of mind
and how to nurture its growth. That conversation ought to focus
on how to change course in addressing fundamental problems of
human learning through education and communication by focusing
on the mind in an integral fashion. The scientific mind still
being a somewhat elusive concept, one of the tasks of the BtSM
colloquia is to build consensus around what the concept should
look like and how the scientific mind relates to and interacts
with other mindsets. The most distinguishing features of the
scientific mind so far identified seem to focus on the
disposition to not taking things for granted, questioning any
given "truth," being inquisitive, seeking connections and
patterns, and being relentless, methodical and probing in asking
questions. Science is not a mechanism but a human progress, and
not a set of findings but the search for them. Jacob Bronowski,
1956. (in: Science and Human Values)

THE CHALLENGE

The BtSM2007 colloquium in Vancouver will build of the work of
the previous BtSM colloquium held in 2005 in The Hague (see for
extensive and detailed documentation the BtSM2005 page at
http://www.learndev.org/ColloquiumBuildingTSM2005.html).
Besides, and considering the crucial problems of today's world,
BtSM2007 will have a specific overall focus on Learning in the
Perspective of Complex and Long-Term Change. Part of the
colloquium will be devoted to critical debate and discussion
around overarching questions and issues,  including such crucial
concerns as the dimensions and attributes of the scientific mind
and that of other mindsets, the conditions that foster
development of the scientific mind, its potential applications
in multiple learning settings, practical ways to improve and
complement existing implicit and explicit efforts to develop the
scientific mind, and the implications of the scientific mind for
innovative interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.
Because the issue of mindsets and mindfulness, and in particular
of the scientific mind, is of potential relevance to such a wide
variety of areas, the colloquium series has set itself the
additional challenge of exploring this issue in the context of a
number of thematic areas, including but not limited to such
fields as scientific journalism, human rights and peace
education, early childhood development, the crucial interaction
between creativity, artistic spirit and scientific exploration,
as well as the role of communication and education in relation
to public health issues such as HIV and AIDS, care for the
environment, the sustainable use of limited resources, and the
development of a harmonious planetary society.

WORKING TOWARDS CONCRETE OUTCOMES

The purpose of the colloquium is to generate an environment for
critical discussion and debate around the scientific mind, and
to prepare the ground for research, further thinking and
concrete action in this area. Participants are invited to
contribute to the event by submitting specific proposals for a
session or activity in their field. A workshop style approach
will be adopted throughout the event to provide ample room for
dialogue, exchange of experience, and to enable participants to
work toward concrete final products. The establishment of
frameworks for continuing the thinking and work around the
scientific mind through post- colloquium collaboration will be
encouraged and facilitated through the colloquium process.

ORGANIZATIONAL DETAILS

Venue: Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, 1399 Johnston
Street, Granville Island, Vancouver BC V6H 3R9, Canada.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline: Friday April 27, 2007.

Contributions are welcomed for a new book addressing the
construction and interpretation of virtual artefacts within
virtual world museums and within physical museum spaces.
Particular emphasis is placed on theories of spatiality and
strategies of interpretation.

The editors seek papers that intervene in critical discourses
surrounding virtual reality and virtual artefacts, to explore
the rapidly changing temporal, spatial and theoretical
boundaries of contemporary museum display practice. We are
especially interested in spatiality as it is employed in the
construction of virtual artefacts, as well as the roles these
spaces enact as signifiers of historical narrative and sites of
social interaction. We are also interested in the relationship
between real-world museums and virtual world museums, with a
view to interrogating the construction of meaning within, across
and between both.

We welcome original scholarly contributions on the topic of new
cultural practices and communities related to virtual reality in
the context of museum display practice. Papers might address,
but are in no way limited to, the following:

- Authenticity and artificiality
- Exploration and discovery
- Physical vs virtual
- Representation/interpretation of virtual reality artefacts -
   as 3D spaces on screen or in a physical gallery
- Museum visiting in virtual space
- Representation of physical museum spaces in virtual worlds and
   their relationship to cultural definitions of museum spaces.

Please send a proposal of 500-750 words and a contributor's bio
by Friday April 27, 2007. Authors will be notified by Thursday
May 31, 2007. Final drafts of papers are due by Monday October
1, 2007.

12 JUne 2007: Call for Workshop Participation. Transmedial
Interactions and Digital Games, Salzburg, Austria

http://hcid.informatics.indiana.edu/ace2007/

held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on
Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology

Workshop Aims & Goals

As virtual worlds and games grow in importance, present
limitations in access to them limits their ability to achieve
their potential. In persistent online worlds, peer actions and
event changes have cumulative effects that are consequential to
individuals, whether or not they are available, just as in real
life.  But unlike real life, where we have plenty of tools to
help us juggle multiple responsibilities, access into virtual
worlds today occurs through a single access point; active
participation requires a significant stationary commitment. Even
the most dedicated users have difficulty keeping up with the
dynamic information. To remain active and included, users need
better ways to communicate, cooperate, and coordinate.
Transmedial access, in which players' access to a game and their
characters/data is made possible across different devices,
offers a promising solution to this problem. It also inaugurates
a new category of interaction design: transmedial interaction.

This workshop explores the state of the art of transmedial
interaction in games, which today unfortunately is often at most
mere afterthought. It provides a participatory environment in
which attendees can chart new paths forward, from developing
viable business models and understanding the technical
infrastructure to developing critical vocabularies and
evaluative frameworks.

The workshop is intended for a broad audience, which will
collaboratively achieve the following:

- Review current state-of-the-art examples of transmedia
interactions in entertainment computing, especially video games
- Survey the technical infrastructure needed for transmedia
interactions in digital games (e.g., feedback, adaptivity, etc.)
- Understand how the strength and weakness of different media
channels shape player experiences during transmedia interactions
- Construct design guidelines for transmedial interactions and
determine the components needed for successful and seamless
transmedial interaction design
- Consider evaluation criteria for transmedial interactions

Submission

We encourage participation from diverse academic disciplines
including design, HCI, computer science,, media and game
studies, strategic communications, and psychology, as well as
industry experts and practitioners, for a total of 15-20 people.
Specifically, this workshop will create a synergy among the
following target audiences:

- Online and mobile game designers interested in developing
appropriate mechanisms to overcome the difficulty of designing
for multiple media channels and cross-media experiences

- Interaction designers and researchers interested in
human-human and human-machine interactions across devices,
including mobile and ubiquitous computing

- Gaming industry pioneers interested in the exploration of
novel ways to extend and integrate different media channels'
capacities to create cross-device and cross-network experiences
for their target customers

- Entertainment computing marketers interested in identifying
key challenges and solutions in promoting transmedial
experiences

Participants will be selected based on 2-4 page position papers
that address workshop goals. Send submissions (PDF) to Shaowen
Bardzell (selu [at] indiana.edu) with subject "ACE 2007 Workshop
Submission" by March 30, 2007.

Publication:

Accepted position papers will be published on the workshop
website. Depending on the outcomes of the workshop and the
interests of the workshop attendees, the organizers may also
coordinate further publications.
