Dear Colleague,

This Conference will address a range of critically important themes in
the various fields that address the complex and subtle relationships
between technology, knowledge and society. The Conference is
cross-disciplinary in scope, meeting points for technologists with a
concern for the social and social scientists with a concern for the
technological. The focus is primarily, but not exclusively, on
information and communications technologies.
