"Community based Environments for Creative People"

This workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are
interested in topics related to collaborative environments that have an
impact on creative groups, organizations and social networks. Relevant
issues include design, implementation, deployment, evaluation,
methodologies, and effect of these systems. The workshop brings together
researchers and practitioners from different areas working on the
development, introduction, management, deployment, and analysis of
communityware supporting group work within organizations.
This workshop aims to bring together experts from Academia and Industry
who share interest in the study and design of approaches and methodologies
in community support. It will focus on understanding the impact of
communities in order to facilitate the design of complex cooperation
systems. In this workshop on the design and implementation of Web based
communities we would like to explore current and future tends in this
growing field.

New types of media applications require new forms of working environments
which, for example
* allow participants with various professional backgrounds to collaborate
with each other
* consider the integration of multiple types of mobile devices * allow
interactive three-dimensional design
* provide an overview on different activity lines * enable the design of
multi-dimensional interactive applications.
