IADIS International Conference   ICT, Society and Human Beings 2011 Rome, Italy 24 - 26 July 2011

Conference Program Co-Chairs:
Gunilla Bradley, Professor Em, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
Diane Whitehouse, Chair of IFIP WG 9.2 on Social Accountability and Computing, The Castlegate Consultancy, UK

The effects of ICT on human beings as well as the interaction between ICT, individuals, and society are all within the
focus of this conference. Both analyses of interactions and effects are important. Changes in behaviour, perspectives,
values, competencies, human and psychological aspects and feelings are all of interest. Reflections on past, present,
and future challenges – especially planning for handling the latter - are encouraged.

Today, computer science and ICT-related disciplines are working more and more together with various behavioural and
social sciences including child psychology and developmental psychology. For this reason, the conference pays attention
to societal changes, global and more local organisational and institutional changes, changes in values and in lifestyles,
as well as individual cognitive effects and changes, motivational and emotional changes. It also appeals to
solution-building in terms of desirable goals and actions for reaching a Good Information Society.

In general all types of research strategies are encouraged, and especially cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary
studies. Case studies, broader empirical field studies, theoretical analyses, cross-cultural studies, scenarios,
ethnographic studies, epistemological analyses may all be presented.

A theoretical framework which outlines the conference approach can be found under “Call for papers” in the conference
web site.
