Call For Papers

International communities have a myriad of problems around topics such as: population demographic shifts, energy use and creation, the environment, and food supply. It is necessary to build a global consensus for resolving problems within these topic areas. Unfortunately, there are difficulties in communication among different cultures. Information and communication technologies are required in order to overcome such difficulties.

There are various research directions in the relations between culture and computing: to archive cultural heritages via ICT (cf. digital archives), to empower humanities researches via ICT (cf. digital humanities), to create art and expressions via ICT (cf. media art), to realize a culturally situated agent (cf. cultural agent), to support multi-language, multi-cultural societies via ICT (cf. intercultural collaboration), and to understand new cultures born in the Internet and Web (cf. net culture).

The International Conference on Culture and Computing (Culture & Computing) will be held in Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan, to provide an opportunity to share research issues and discuss the future of culture and computing. To understand the proceedings at the previous conference, please visit http://www.ai.soc.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/culture2010/index.html.

The second conference (Culture & Computing 2011) will be organized with an exhibition on the integration of state of the art cultural computing technologies and Japanese traditional culture, along with a number of co-located events.

Papers are solicited on any aspect on the intersection of culture and computing, but all papers are expected to be suitable for a multidisciplinary audience. We have a single session Main Track and a few parallel session Special Tracks. The Main Track will present a collection of scientific or engineering research results. Examples of suitable paper topics for the Main Track include:

* Archiving cultural heritages
* Information environments for humanity studies
* Art and design by information technologies
* Digital storytelling
* Intercultural communication and collaboration
* Culturally situated agents and simulations
* Game and culture
* Analysis of new culture in the Internet and Web
* Culture and brain science

The Special Tracks are collections of short papers, and are organized in coordination with the Main Track for the purpose of encouraging discussions in hot areas. We have Special Tracks for "Digital Humanities," "Asian Culture based Media Art" and "Computing and Music" at this conference.
