PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS:
LOCALNETS: International Workshop on Community-based
Interactive Systems.
to be presented at the AC'99,
Annual Conference of the EC I3 Programme,
20th - 22nd October 1999,
Siena, Italy.
The claim that communication technology can adversely affect
interaction within a close community in favour of promoting
interaction with a global web-based virtual community is a
widely-supported opinion. In this context, a research strategy
is currently being devoted to technology-based schemes, specifically
designed to enhance social cohesion in local communities. A principal
issue here is the nature of the interaction between a member of the
community and some representation of that community's locus and
history. It is the purpose of this international workshop to
present current research on local communities, to assess the
outcomes of such research and to identify issues for future
investigation.
