VIII International Symposium on Computers in Education

Endorsed by: IEEE Technical Committee on Learning Technology

http://siie06.unileon.es

October 24 – 26, 2006. Leon, Spain

===================================================================
Organisation:
* University of Leon. Department of Electrical Engineering and
Electronics
* ADIE (Association for the Development of Computers in Education)

===================================================================
Goals

This Symposium will be an international forum to debate
research and experiences on the application of Information
and Communication Technologies in the field of Education,
not only in the Ibero-American space -as usual in former
editions- but also in the international scenario. Hence,
a special session will be reserved for presentations in English.

This is the 8th edition of the International Symposium on
Computers in Education that is held alternately in Spain
and Portugal. This event already has a recognized trajectory
and a well earned prestige. It is a reference forum and
a meeting point for research groups, groups of development,
users and Institutions.

The Symposium is a forum for the presentation of the
latest advances in the fields of Information and
Communication Technologies applied to Education.
The idea is to gather together different research groups,
professionals, and users in order to facilitate the
communication among them.

===================================================================
Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

* Web-based Course Management Systems, Tools and Resources
* Computer Networks and Tele-education (e-learning)
* Information and Communication Technologies in special education
(accessibility)
* Human-Computer Interaction applied to Education
* Collaborative Learning
* Artificial Intelligence and Education
* Multimedia and Hypermedia in Educational Software
* Design, Development and Evaluation of Educational Software
* Teacher Training in Communication and Information Technologies
* Methodologies of Use of Communication and Information Technologies in
the Educational Context
* Educational Experiences in the School
* Educational Applications of Ubiquitous Computing
* Communication and Information Technologies in the European Higher
Education Area

CALL FOR PAPERS

2006 International Conference on CYBERWORLDS

(EPFL), Switzerland

Organized by EPFL VRlab

In cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGWEB, EUROGRAPHICS, CUSO, and
INTUITION EU Network of Excellence

Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed on Internet either
intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. As
information worlds, they are either virtual or real, and can be both.
In terms of information modelling, the theoretical ground for the
Cyberworlds is far above the level of integrating spatial database
models and temporal database models. This conference will deal with
large distributed information worlds on Internet as well as methods
and tools used for creating such worlds.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

The conference topics include but are not limited to the following
areas.

- Philosophy, Evolution, and Ethics of Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds and their impact on the real worlds
- Cyberethics and Cyberlaws
- Cybersecurity
- Visual Cyberworlds
- Human animation in Cyberworlds
- Virtual Reality in Cyberworlds
- Computer vision and augmented reality for Cyberworlds
- Intelligent agents in Cyberworlds
- Communication in Cyberworlds
- Distributed virtual environments
- Shared virtual worlds
- Data mining and warehousing in Cyberworlds
- Bioinformatics for Cyberlife and medicine
- Healthcare in Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for bioengineering
- Cyberinformation systems
- E-business in Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for education
- Collaborative work using Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for manufacturing
- Cyber fairs and Cyber museums
- Multi-user web games

CW2006 will provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers, and
researchers from around the world to share the latest research,
ideas, and developments in these fields. The conference will consist
of formal paper sessions and hands-on demonstrations where research
groups and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the field.

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Due: 24th May 2006
Notice of Acceptance: 1st July 2006
Camera Ready Due: 28th July 2006
Conference: 28-30 Nov 2006

Full and Short Papers (in English) containing original and
unpublished results are solicited. Full papers are limited to maximum
8 pages (single space, two columns) including figures. Short papers
are limited to 5 pages. All paper submissions must reach us by 24th
May, 2006. Accepted papers will be included in a conference
proceedings published by either IEEE Computer Society.

THE BEST FULL PAPERS WILL BE INVITED FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE
VISUAL COMPUTER JOURNAL PUBLISHED BY SPRINGER.
